island - Yes, we can paint the surround (we've been told). I'd like to live with it as is for awhile though. I do like the color...except for the darn pinkish tone that comes out in certain lighting! It was recommended to paint before installing the surround; maybe we'll just paint the fireplace wall to see if we like it before doing the rest of the room. Our leak caused water damage inside, and our repair turned into redecorating. At least we'll have a new family room when all is done!

I ended up using super white which I think is way too white But I’m still trying to decide. I only painted the one wall. My husband thought the fireplace and the trim should be a different color than the wall but I’m not so sure since we already have the accent wall. Thoughts on this? Here are the pics. the second I a pic of where the wall meet the kitchen cabinets since it needs to coordinate with those.

The Cabinets are Grey, so is the floor, Counter-top http://catalogs.porcelanosa-usa.com/books/rkoz/#p=17 will be very light grey, appliances we have chosen are new GE Black Slate color GE Black Slate appliances. Looking for suggestions on wall and doors and windows wood & trim colors. Kitchen is open floor plan adjacent room is family room with Tiete rosewood hardwood flooring..thanks

Going with the current colors of the year can help give inspo. Urban Bronze where the red is now with Algean teal for the other walls but would look to have light furniture for the urban bronze. Any of these would actually be great but Contemplative would be too similar to what you have.
