I love both ideas already mentioned Celery Green and Indigo. But what color do you love? Still not sure? Here are a few ideas of kitchens with tan counters, golden oak floors and white cabs. ~boxer Grannysmith Apple Glidden Craftart (unsure of color) Blue (paint color unknown) Sage green (paint unknown) Georgia Green Benjamin Moore paints Auction Girl Vintage blog (soft blue walls) (paint unknown) an aqua blue goes so nice here. Edgewood green on walls Ellen Kennon paints Sweet Caroline Green Benjamin Moore A green color (paint unknown) Silvernight Glidden Bright blue (paint unknown) Thomas Trzcinski

I think that the color in the picture is gorgeous, but that a paler shade of the same thing...a softer, dustier one...would give you more the effect you want. Take a close look at the picture, and you see that the bit closest to the camera, with reflected sunlight on it, seems closer to what you might like than the way it looks up in the corner, where you see that it's actually quite deep. Reds always seem stronger on the wall than on the chip...I would suggest that you take a look at these Duron colors (it's the only fandeck I have at hand just now...teach me to lend those out!) SW 6324-Mellow Coral SW 6325 Constant Coral SW 6332 Coral Island SW 6347 Chrysanthemum ...and see if any of them interest you. They are all more flower-pot colored than pink, and have a soft earthy quality to them that I think would work for you?

Another suggestion: Very light creamy yellow, maybe BM Windham Cream. I have to say that in my house it looks a lot less yellow. This post was edited by nosoccermom on Thu, May 22, 14 at 10:28

The floor looks like it is violet grey and pink taupe. If you are wanting a fresher look, then I recommend in Sherwin Williams Pacer White or Egret White, both a taupe greige or Benjamin Moore Windsbreath (taupe greige) or BM Fossil (violet grey) There is also BM Balboa Mist (violet greige) which I think would be beautiful. These look darker on the computer than they really are. I recommend holding the chips next to your existing walls first to see the difference. I believe they will lighter. However, my other concern is the sofa in the space. It appears to be blue grey and I would like to see it repeated somewhere else in the room. I suggest once you have picked a main wall color then you hone in on a blue grey color for the soffit around the fireplace and remove the baseboard. It is a minimal cost to have a good drywaller to repair that and paint it. Or better yet remove the tile on the fascia inset and tile the soffit around the fascia then replace the tile on the fascia in a mosaic. It will update the fireplace and elevate the fireplace to new status in the room;) All the while relating to the sofa. I realize the sofa might not stick around as long as the hard finishes, but by choosing the quartzite and marble hard finishes with a spectrum from whites, taupes and grays you are not married to that color sofa forever. If you like any of my color suggestions, I always recommend spending the $5 a sample paint pot and paint a 11x14 poster board for each color you like , then use a plain white 11x14 board to block out the original paint on the walls and view them in morning natural light and then in night time , artificial light and pick the one you like the majority of the time. Good luck!!!! Just saw many recommending painting the stained wood. I would hold off until you have picked your paint color for the walls. Honestly, when using a taupe it compliments all undertones and I am really a fan of natural wood in a monochromatic look. Don't get me wrong I will paint wood 85% of the time in my clients projects, but there are those times when the stained wood adds warmth and interest that paint otherwise can not... Also I recommend adding some more patterned pillows and different textured pillows on the sofa. Even introduce a color like dusty dark blues, dark mauve pinks, or deep yellows (like in the squash family;)) that you like
