You will get lots of suggestions if you post a photo of the floors.

In addition, share the orientation of the house.

Need to consider colors that are in all the fixed elements (flooring, such as carpet, wood, tile, countertops, if there’s a fireplace with stone or brick). The natural light coming in through windows is important (direction of light as stated above) and do you have molding that will be painted or will it stay the same? Color is relative so many important factors to consider. Then tell us what you like. Do you prefer whites/lights, neutrals such as beiges or grays or do you prefer color on your walls? What color is your upholstery and bedding?

Pick out colors or whites like you want. Paint on poster board, or buy the peel and stick color patches and put on poster board. Leave a white border all the way around the poster board, so it doesnt clash with the color you have now. Since you want the whole house the same color, then pick a color that goes in your kitchen with your cabinets etc first. Then try it in the rest of the house. The color in there now, does not go with your cabinets. It has way too much yellow in it. I would look for colors that have no yellow hues.

I don't, but if you click on the link that says "More Info" below the photo, you'll see which pro posted it on Houzz. You could then message them to ask whether they still have the color/brand on file. I would bet money that the Benjamin Moore store could find you a sage green in their Historic Color palette that is very similar.
