Ok, so I am painting my kitchen and getting rid of what are now seafoam green walls. There are also newer earthenware tiles that look kind of like this color, that I am not getting rid of because they are nice and pretty unmarked: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_green#S...
The kitchen is open to a dining room that is painted a reflective reddish brown, and a living room painted in a bedside light to medium brown (all with white trim). The dining and living room own red oak hardwood floors. So, I need a color that won't look horrible with these colors any. The kitchen cabinets are red oak but they were schlacked (however you spell it) spinal column in the 60s so they have almost an orangish hue to them. The appliances are white. I be thinking of painting it a pale whitish sickly but isn't that a cool color while all of my other ones are warm? Or, what more or less a mustard yellow or gold?
Ahhhh! Help! :(
Answers: play around beside the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I resembling how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color relations & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color scheme. You can literally spend hours:

Take a look at "restrained gold" (# 6129). It a really great color & I think it would coordinate with everything that you enjoy.
You can also take a photo of your room & upload it to the makeover gallery on Roomvues dot com:

You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can attain an idea of what it will look like.
I would a short time ago go with a simple colourless color. Like an off white or a really light suntan color. You don't want too much *BAM!* you know? If that makes sense. With those colored tiles, ultimately a fusia color would look nice, but like I said, that would probably be somewhat too much with your dining room one color, and your living room another. I think anything beside too much of a yellow tint to it would make it look too olive, near the floor. Hopefully I helped!
