RP contrasts enough with white trim -- it's the light wood furniture and the different undertones that aren't working. Your low contrast art adds to the effect. If the furniture stays, I'd look at the RP for the hall and more color in the DR. RP would go great with eggplant if you are considering that direction. The eggplant would also look good with the teal glass in your cabinet. The new photo with the test swatch of RP also shows some Asian china pieces. This grey was one I mentioned earlier (evening dove) and it would look great with the orange/paprika color as well as the dark blue in those. You can see the pairing with peachy and orange tones in the pillows and flowers. Might be easier for DH to handle a deeper grey too. Some guys can't deal with anything resembling purple (you could tell him it's warm or fruity cocoa -- LOL). I think it would also transition well with RP in the entry (look at the ceiling -- a similar idea). Looking at RP on the BM website, they show it with mink and dalton blue-- that goes to a darker grey brown (almost a slightly greyed cocoa) and a pale grey blue (that could go on the ceiling if you get adventurous). Your crystal chandelier (see it in the reflection) would be very pretty against any of these darker colors. Have we confused you more? Will the RP work in the entry so the painter can keep painting? LOL

This happened to me too! Painted poster boards and moved them around the room to make sure I loved the color before painting the entire living/dining room. I did everything I was supposed to, and after two coats it was BABY BLUE!!! I was so upset. But then I held up the paint chip white dove (OC-17) to our trim, and our trim was YELLOW!!! I'd bet your trim isn't white, but rather a yellow or darker cream. Here's a pic. Same color, revere pewter, different trim. The trim on the right is white dove. The trim on the left is old, yellowed oil based trim of unknown name.

Here are 2 colours that work really well with BM Revere Pewter. OC-20 is called Pale Oak. I've used all 3 together and they look great IMO. I'd struggle to put a dark colour on my ceiling but with the height you have, it might be really nice. Where my Revere Pewter and Rockport Grey come together, it is sometimes hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for, or maybe you want more contrast. In my house, which has a lot of natural light from south facing windows there is a definite green tone to both the Rockport and the RP. But my sister has RP in her house and it is most definitely taupe or greige when contrasted against mahogany trim and lots of natural light, mainly north facing windows. It can be a tricky colour for some, so best to try it out in many places and in different lights (daylight and night, but also different colours of lightbulbs can make a huge difference too) I don't envy whoever has to climb up there and do all that painting!

I see brown/green undertones in Revere Pewter; I see gray/brown undertones in Light Pewter Revere Pewter is a beautiful wall color. However, like any paint color, it will be affected by natural light. I have it in my living room/dining, which get east, north and south light and it Is perfect thought the day. You have very little natural light in the basement room, so going light isn’t always the answer. If you have a dark room where you need to have lights on all the time, do something deeper which works with the lighting you have. My experience is darker makes a space look bigger because the corner shadows aren’t as obvious.
