Just moved into new house. Current dining roo. Is medium gray. Wondering if I should keep it gray or paint it Hale Navy by Ben Moore. Our house is open concept...the rest of the house will be painted Alabaster. I also have blue chairs in room close to dining room. The room does not get much light. I e attached pics is current dining room, kitchen counter colors, and a picture of an example dining room painted with Hale Navy. Thank you!

Comments (3)I don't know what Revere Pewter would look like with the browns you have, but I've seen pictures of it with walnut and calacatta marble and it look very nice. Buy a sample and paint a board with several coats and set it in the room to see if you like it. It is a Benjamin Moore color....See MoreWhat color to paint walls with grey sectional

Comments (8)You need some warm accents. Right now it is a very “chilly” scheme. Your whites are different…floor is a stark white, your upper cabs are creamier and you're adding another white for the counter. I’d start with a backsplash, blending all the tones, going as warm as possible. For the walls, give a thought to red…specifically B.M. Burnt Russet…a delicious warm red....See Morewhat color to paint walls?
Comments (6)make sure your bulbs are a cooler temp. (3500K - 4000K) Otherwise you'll get the yellow hue on every color you try. I think your granite/tile and vanity are just too overwhelming to do any color except a neutral. I'd let the shower curtain take care of being the accent color. Perhaps try and do a picture over the toilet w/some greens, but keep the wall a light neutral. Dorian Gray is in the lavender column, you want something warmer. Try Pale Oak and White Dove for the trim or, these are warmer grays that lean a little taupe and a very creamy white if you want to go lighter on the walls. try doing something like this over the toilet using the darker brown shelving (to match the vanity. or even glass shelving) w/some artwork or accessories...See More

3 years agoI don't think you're limited to ivory; in fact, I'd choose a traditional pattern with a variety of colors.
