I would bring paint chips home with me that I think work and look at them with the granite or go to a paint store that has a computer (90% will have) and get them to google your granite and give you recommendations. Use a paint store with a decorator.

ellendi - Thank you for your kind words. I talked to a interior designer friend of mine after I posted. She said absolutely don't change anything until the floors go in later this week. The grey cast from the cement slab may very well be adding to the undertone of the travertine. Another friend stopped by this evening to take a peek and said that looking directly at the BS, she didn't see any pink. However, when she looked directly at the two areas where the existing paint meets the top of the BS (no wall cabinet above) she did see where the coloring got funky...meaning in addition to the cement cast, the existing paint color, although it never looked out of place before, may very well be causing the travertine to change tone in those two areas - which just so happens are the two areas that have bugged me the most and looked the most off in shading. Because it came from someone else other than the crazy wife, DH actually sounded receptive to repainting the downstairs so it can be better suited color wise with the kitchen, which sounds like to me is more than likely going to have to be painted to better suit the BS. There is hope yet--this option sounds much better than pulling the whole thing out - which I don't know if that would even be an option with the DH. :D blubird- Thank you for sharing your experience. I have previously moistened it with a wet towel and it did take on a darker tone - I just wasn't sure if it was enhancing the pink tones as well. Although I purchased one and it's ready to go, I am going to hold off on using an enhancing sealer until the floor is in and then also possibly until after any painting is done. I am almost positive the paint color needs to be changed so I might as well have those constants in place before I enhance the travertine part of the BS. Which enhancer did you use? I purchased Miracle Sealants Company 'Seal and Enhance.' I checked out the reviews and it seemed like a good product although I am always open to suggestions!

I sure want to know where these " color consultants" get their credentials. So many Houzz thread start from consultant created problems. And don't get my husband started on the interior desecreation he has seen on multimillion dollar commercial projects when clients brought in their own color consultants instead of listening to designers with ASID credentials. The only way a cool color would tone down those reddish woodtones is if a cool complementary color was mixed into the original wood stain while it was liquid. Side by side complementary colors intensify each other and can seem to vibrate. (Try reading red letters on blue or green.) A warm white or tan would let the wood tones not stick out as much. Also remember rugs can hide some of the floor.

You have very different light in the LR compared to the entry , trees for instance casting some green into the space and one caot is not enough to kill the pink underneath Do 2 coats on the wall that seems to be the most different , make sure all the lighting is IMO LED 4000k but that would involve changing that light in the hallway to something much bigger and able to light that whole space.
