1. Most of my house is Revere pewter and it's an open floor plan. Since it's a greige, do I stick to either grays or tans in all of the bedrooms to create flow? Colors commonly called grays or tans all belong to hue families. They're simply toned down versions of their hue parents like you see in the graphic below. You can find a gray from every hue family in the spectrum. Each row of child colors is about the same in terms of lightness and grayness. (These are all Dunn-Edwards paint colors, I left off the hue parent paint color info.) But that doesn't mean all of them go together. Color relationships matter and the way you understand color relationships, how you know what colors go together, is a color wheel. Color wheels illustrate how colors relate to each other and those color relationships have names like complementary, analogous, triadic, etc. Once you know what hue family a "gray" or "tan" belongs to, then it's easy to figure out what other colors go with it. For example, here's a tetrad of near neutrals. (I love a scheme of greens and purples) 2. Can I do a warm paint color in the living room but a cool color in the kitchen that is visible from the living room? Sure! The juxtaposition of warm and cool colors is one of the seven different kinds of color contrasts. (Johannes Itten detailed all seven.) If you are going to combine warm and cool colors, it's easier if they are about the same in terms of how gray they look. Like you see in the images above. 3. If I go more yellow beige in the kitchen do I have to stay with warm accents? Not at all. If you want your accents to have the most punch or pop, then using a cooler color would be the way to go to achieve maximum contrast and visual impact. If that maximum punch/pop is too much, then you go with warmer accents to lower the tension between all the colors so the visual impact isn't so intense. 4. I want to stay neutral for my wall color but from room to room, do I stay all warm or all cool? Same answer as #2. Keep all the colors within the same range of grayness and it will work. They can be lighter or darker, but it will be easier to pull off if you don't try to mix vivid, clear colors with your muted and chromatic gray colors like Revere Pewter. For example, I wouldn't put a vivid, clear color like Sugar Cookie 2160-60 with Revere Pewter. 5. I would love to paint my baby's room a light tan but my hallway is more of a cool gray. I would focus on choosing a light tan that works, harmonizes with the contents of your baby's room first. Then, I'd (casually) consider how it looks with the hallway color second. The interruption of a doorway between two room colors means you don't always have to work so hard at crafting perfectly harmonious wall color relationships; the doorway gives you more wiggle room for it to work and look good. Don't get too hung up on "warm" and "cool" color labels because color temperature is relative. In other words, a color isn't warm or cool on its own. We never see color in isolation and context is what determines an individual color's temperature which means all hue can be perceived as warm or cool - it depends. Technically speaking, warm and cool is not a continuous spectrum that splits the color wheel in half. Warm and cool is actually a spectrum within each hue family. There are warm blues and cool blues. Warm reds and cool reds. Warm oranges and cool oranges, etc. Like you see in this color wheel. The context for warm and cool in this case comes from the hue families in the color system that goes with this color wheel.

you'll need to keep to the warmest shades of colors you'd prefer, in order for them to still work with your flooring. Gray-warmest greige bordering taupe might work Off white-warmest off white might work You'll need for both colors to go together too. As for countertops-no I wouldn't go for marble look quartz, too cool (temperature-wise) with your floors, and pattern is distinct and bold..too much with your flooring. Stones are bossy and picky and it's often hard to have several in one space. You can pick more uniform surface though for a "cleaner" look. Plain Quartz? A natural stone that has more uniformity to it? You can make it less busy..you can't completely drift away into cool color pallette as long as your floors stay. They'll always dictate your colors, to a degree. Or rather, shades of colors.

Sorry for the delay! The strips we used are Lifx Z Strips. We got the aluminum mounting channels on Amazon. We cut them with a hacksaw. The Lifx strips fit right into the channels, but they come an adhesive mount if you think the mounting channel looks like a pain. https://www.amazon.com/LIFX-Adjustable-Multicolor-Dimmable-Assistant/dp/B073168F4Y/ref=asc_df_B073168F4Y/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=216527863848&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11001182348766562939&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001883&hvtargid=pla-446460198647&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F9RTII4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 With all due respect to LWO ... if you have two different brands of lighting for your overhead and undercabinet lighting, being able to tune one to match the other is an extremely useful feature. I have not found that there is a whole lot of consistency between what one company calls 3500k and another calls 3500k. And even being just 10% off the nominal value would be noticeable to me. 3150 vs 3850 is something you can see. My ceiling lights run cool compared to LifX, so the best match was to put ceilings at 3500 and Lifx at 4000. And hey, for holidays you can ABSOLUTELY go nuts with color schemes :)

those would work w/the wood. just keep in mind that it's a rather busy pattern. It will be a busy looking floor once it's all laid down. do you only have those ceiling fan lights in the kitchen? I'd say call in an electrician and have some proper lighting installed. no fans directly in the kitchen! almost looks like you could do a portable island. or even a vintage type of table. find a marble remnant, or a butcher block. hang some pendants french kitchen table
