So interesting to think about the implications of lighting - I will definitely have to play around with different bulbs! Gracie01, the art is actually a 4 piece panel (antique, Chinese, gold w multicolor cherry blossoms, birds, etc) I agree that's not showing as such on the monitor. Pillows are gold in same fabric as chair on opposite wall. Second set of pillows has a creamy background with green-ish geometric pattern - again, absolutely agree it's not appearing that way at all through these pics. I'm realizing that part of my issue is that I never really wanted yellow walls to begin with, and sort of let the painter (whom I actually think is great) influence the decision to do this Greenmount Silk. I'd actually prefer something like a BM Gray Mirage at 50% or so...as it is, the blue against the yellow still looks garish to me. I don't want to change the window treatments, unfortunately, as they were custom made for this space, and price-y. I really appreciate all of the helpful suggestions!

Ceiling, Alabaster in flat finish, trim, Alabaster in semi-gloss finish. Because the cabinets are abutting the ceiling and Alabaster isn’t true white, I would worry that a ceiling “white” would make the cabs look drab.

I love blue colors.... Are you only covering the red ? Keeping the white trim and taupe/dark beige walls? I love Racoon Fur but it is a very almost black dark color. It can have a sheen of gray but you would need better lighting. I love Polo Blue by BM but it will be too dark for you. I used Benjamin Moore Polo Blue.. The cabinets were made by Cabico but we color matched at BM store and they said it was Polo Blue. We have lots of light so it shines bright in the room. On the far right is Benjamin Moore Polo Blue Benjamin Moore Old Navy in the Aura matte finish might be hale navy BM Benjamin Moore Hale Navy HC-154. Benjamin Moore HC-155 Newburyport Blue Benjamin Moore Old Navy! Benjamin Moore van Deusen Blue Benjamin Moore HC-155 Newburyport Blue.
