gwent: I read your previous message and see that you are seeing green in your RG----is this in your north facing room? I do accent with a lot of reds and have been considering RG for a long time but I sure do not want the green cast in this already darken room. I am with you, it looks so beautiful in others' photos. Wonder about Tobacco Road, would it also cast a green cast in a darken room. I have it in a room that gets a lot of light and it is beautiful.

Thanks teacats, I'll go check out the Ivoire tomorrow. I have a black framed pic planned for the foyer - but lots of golds/fall colors in it. Trim is pure white, fixtures are silver metal. For now I used the Restrained, but after all the rooms are done I want to explore some other ideas - lighter colors, especially since I think I'll paint the ceiling, too.

Thanks everyone! Rob333 - nice palette. I'm going to show this to my daughter - she'll likely love it. Bestyears - I was looking at that SW strip. I had been thinking about Meditative, but Sleepy Blue might be better since the room has no natural light. I might get a tester of it. ttodd - nice. I'll show the kids this color also.

Not sure if it was BM or SW....but this is something no one has suggested: Color and Wood Tone: How to Choose Colors That Go Together Use these tips to find the best paint colors and finishes to complement your wood furniture and trimwork around the house. Whether your furnishings are Mission-style oak, country pine, or high-style mahogany, the beauty of the wood deserves a background that shows it to best advantage. The question, however, is not really what color goes with oak or mahogany, but rather, what color will best enhance your wood's finish. Don't Get Too Matchy-Matchy Develop a natural, evolved look in your home with items that go together comfortably but do not match exactly. Each type of wood has a characteristic color and grain pattern, and the color also can be altered with stain. Furniture makers have used stains and varnishes for centuries, both to enhance the appearance of the grain and to change the color of the wood. The stains sold at home improvement centers are generally named for the types of wood they simulate: Maple, cherry, walnut, mahogany, ebony, oak, and fruitwood are the most common types. Over time, wood furnishings acquire a rich patina that gives the surface depth and complexity. Newer woods and veneers may lack this complexity, but they still have an overall color tone that may be yellow, orange, red-brown, bluish brown, or dark brown. To choose wall colors or fabrics that will enhance your wood pieces, consider the dominant hues in the finish. Also consider whether you prefer the drama of high contrast or the richness of low-contrast pairings. Don't worry about all the wood pieces in a room matching -- the casual, comfortable, gathered-over-time look of mixed woods is perfectly appropriate today. Use Contrast to Call Attention Dark finishes, such as mahogany, walnut, or cherry, stand out in sharp relief against any light color, whether it's a tint of green or blue or a hue from the sunny side of the color wheel. In the same way, light wood shows up boldly against dark or strong color on the walls. The contrast calls more attention to the furniture, a plus if you have a fine piece you want to focus on. If you have a lot of dark furniture in a light-color room, however, the space may feel busier than it would if the furniture blended in. If you love the look of dark wood against light walls (or light furniture against dark walls), keep furniture arrangements orderly and streamlined to offset the impression of crowding. To achieve high contrast with medium-tone finishes, keep the wall color soft and light, creating as much difference as possible between the values of the wood color and the wall. You can also use the colors in the furniture finish as a cue for wall colors. If the dominant color in the wood appears to be red, then a green background will enhance and intensify the wood's hue. <https://www.bhg.com/decorating/color/basics/color-and-wood-tone/>    I think you should consider: https://kellymoore.com/company/press-room/press-release-detail/2017/10/11/2018-color-of-the-year
