Need help with paint color Sign In/Join

Hi, My living room is painted BM Revere Pewter. I'm looking to paint my dining room which is right next to living room - they're pretty open to one another. Right now, it's painted really dark red and I want something different but want to be sure it coordinates nicely with the pewter. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I looked up the color tho monitors typically misread true colors. It appears like a pale taupe (gray-beige) and therefor is neutral. Did you see the colors recommended to team w/ this chip? Here's the link, if not:

Importantly, draw public space scheme inspiration from fabrics or papers such as upholstery, rugs, window treatments, art, etc.. There should be a degree of color flow throughout w/ pops of accents and neutrals mixed in if desired, variances of print scales, hue values and color predominances.

Equally important is to view chips (or better yet, a test board once you've narrowed the search down to a few) in the room's lighting conditions. Factor in flooring, trim, furnishings, built ins if any and contrast.

I did look at BM's suggestions on what goes well but they were darker and I was hoping for something lighter. I'm interested to hear what some people who have Revere Pewter have done in the adjacent rooms that seem to go well. Thanks for the suggestions!

If you wanting to stay with the green theme, Edgecombe Gray would work.

Do you have a rug or piece of art to pull a color from?
