Stacey, don't forget the Wine! Chris, this kind of thing can be tricky, but there all kinds of ways of neutralizing wrong colors. One is to change the palette like Girlwithaspirin did. Another is by repeating the color in a bold way. A third is by repeating the color but in a different tone. For instance, third way to neutralize the peachy, do the walls orange. Not football team orange, but a deep apricot, or a spice orange. Second way, paint a rich peach or peachy beige, that is one of those colors that makes people look good, and makes the finishes look good too, but isn't really the kind of pastel you dislike. The first method is hardest to do, but a rust color might work. All of your neutrals sound good, however, and if they're making your finishes look good to you, that's what's important. If you want to stay neutral, try a caramel color for richness and variation. If that's too dark, try camel. Good luck!

Do you think the Outback and/or ryegrass would clash? I was thinking of doing ryegrass on the walls the cabinets are on then switching to the lighter Outback for the rest of the open area. I am not great with color though so don't feel confident without a few opinions. In the mean time I am going to get some samples of the raffia cream and lime light. I think The eggplant might be too dark for me. Thanks so much for your help!!

You have a very nice and bright open space floor plan. You can perhaps have an accent wall but I like the white walls. What I find is mostly missing is accessories to personalize your space. Before spending on painting the walls, I would consider furnishing the dining room space and accessorizing the living room with an area rug, tables and lamps, colourful accent pillows and art, window treatment, etc. with colours you like. If you have an entryway, a nice console and decor would make an inviting entrance to your space. Here are some ideas...
