Need transition color!
Painting foyer, hallway, walls along stairs, and second floor hallway. All areas are visible from my front door. The room to left while standing at front door is painted in Basic Khaki (Behr) which pulls a green undertone in my space. Thought I'd continue this color but its not working with carpet upstairs. Need a color that works against Basic Khaki, but also works with pink-beige carpet upstairs. Every color that works with carpet looks pink next to Basic Khaki. Contractor wants me to use SW paint. Relaxed Khaki is closest match to the Basic Khaki on my wall. I've tried so many colors my head is spinning. Maybe a transition color that runs up the stairs with a different color in the upstairs hallway? But then I'd have to different colors across from eachother.
below is last color I tried and it looks really yellow but again doesnt really work with wall or carpet upstairs.

Comments (25)Houzzers! I think I've convinced my hubby to sell the media console as I believe I can get about what I paid for it (he's all about the almighty dollar). Can you recommend a better TV console design that might work in it's place??...See MoreNeed advice on paint color transition??
Comments (8)this is what happens when you mix 3 shades of white. I'd paint all of the crown the same in order to be consistent. you can try doing just the crown within the kitchen portion, stopping at the narrow walls. see how that looks. try that first and take another pic. what color are the kitchen cabinets? didn't anyone test these colors against one another first? (i'm guessing this is a rhetorical question). just wondering how this happened. are you getting white countertops and a white subway backsplash???...See MoreI need help with floor transitions!
Comments (3)To my eye two different wood floors as shown above always looks like an addition or an afterthought. "the problem is that the wood in the house has been there for 10+ years and is very sun faded" This isn't a problem! This is a great opportunity to redo your floors, since that will need to happen soon anyway. :-) Lay new flooring in the living room (of the same species as the rest of the house) and stain it whatever colour you want. Either refinish the rest of the house at the same time, or if your budget doesn't allow for that plan to do it in a couple of years. It will still be possible to match the new living room floor at that point. Alternatively you could endure the carpet until you can afford to do the whole house. You might have to live with a mismatch for a while, but in my opinion that is better than planning for a mismatch! Especially considering your floor is nearly ready to be redone....See MoreRemodeling - need some help with colors transitional style
Comments (1)First do the kitchen after it is done then you choose a wall color. What do you mean by a FP accent . BTW I would choose the same paint color for the whole space since it is open....See MoreRelated Professionals

I hadn't considered green because the front room where khaki is connects to my dinj g room which I painted two greens (which I love). The khaki room was originally done in casual khaki Behr but it was so pink-beige next to my green room it looked awful so I re-painted the front room in Basic Khaki (Behr). I have a grey color (SW Worldy Grey) painted next to door and carpet (last two photos) but it looks purple.
