AnnieDeighnaugh your right, picking a color online is hard, but serendipity looks beautiful, as do the others. Next I'll buy some boards and start painting them, trying to figure it out. If I do it myself I may try using a stencil, with colors that are very close, or may look into someone doing a foe paint. I'm looking forward to getting the green off the walls.

Distance would be a beautiful color for the DR, but I may be biased. Mine is a similar color. Silver, gold, brass and crystal and wood tones, espcially darker tones, all look great against it. Hale Navy is a great color too, but I'm not seeing it in the kitchen with dark wood cabinets (paint the cabinets white and I'd love it, but the counter might need to change too). The FR could take that dark color on the walls, with the vaulted ceiling, light carpet and lots of windows. Am I understanding correctly that these are photos from the listing (looks like and MLS watermark)? And you are moving from another area so you can't go back and check colors? Can your realtor or anyone you know go back and take some photos with the color chips? Would you be willing to have the realtor and a color consultant look at that for you and work with you via photos/videos? My SW store has one or maybe two consultants and I know some folks here have used color consultants via phone and nternet. Maybe they can weigh in on how that could work for you. My biggest concern is the kitchen, and I'm not sure if by painting the trim lighter you mean the baseboards (don't), the trim around the entry door (do), the mantel or something else (like painting the cabinets white?). The issue in the kitchen is the dark wood with a lot of red in it. There also appears to be some warm tones (pinkish beige) in the countertops. If you are going to paint the cabinets white and change the counter, I think you can use those cooler greys in there, but I think you might need a warmer grey in there if all you plan to change is the wall color. If you go with a cooler grey or a blue next to the stained wood, they will accentuate each other -- you will see more of the warm tones in the wood and counters and more blue in your grey. There appears to be some of that going on with the current wall color and the green/grey. You could have similar issues with the brick and mantel in the FR. Collonade is one of the colors I tried in my home and it definitely has more green in it. It has more grey than what is on the walls now, but may not give the look you seem to be after. Can you try Agreeable Gray or Accesible Beige -- possibly Alpaca (all SW) in the kitchen? Requisite Gray looks like another possibility but darker. Mega Greige is warmer (slightly more toward beige) and darker still. I would probably chose one of the lighter shades for the entry and then go a shade darker in the LR, but not too dark so it contrasts with Distance in the DR. The FR could go lighter or darker, but it isn't clear where you can transition between the kitchen/breakfast area (looks like that needs to be the same color) and the FR.

Comedy of errors (only after we had a few drinks was it comedic) 1. We greatly underestimated the effort to paint textured walls, especially on the ceiling. That and we're 15 years older than many of the projects we've done the past. 2. Turns out we got the wrong color paint. I'm not sure why I had a different color paint stuck in my head and even though I checked color swatches I still got it wrong. And now that we're going to pay someone to do it I definitely want to make sure the color is right. Only after I came back to this post did I realize I gave the store the wrong color. We're going to suck it up and pay someone to do it which is good because that also includes trim and doors. Although now I have to take a week off of work. Good news: we can donate the paint to Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

I would stick to a whitelike the cabinets to avoid introducing another element to the space
