Color Suggestions

I want to repaint my dining room.

When we moved I painted it BM Windsurf Blue, and I loved it at first, but it's very limiting when it comes to things like flowers, linens, holiday decor, etc. EVERYTHING seems to clash with blue.

I sort of wish I could just paint it the same cream color as the living room and kitchen (DR is sandwiched in between), but I bought dining room furniture that's a mix of dark expresso wood (long table, bench, ladder shelf) and distressed cream pieces (corner hutches and chairs)

Can you suggest colors?? I thought maybe a mudbath/clay color similar to the bathroom (BM Pismo Dunes ) but I'm concerned about things looking...drab.

Re: Color Suggestions

My dining room is a light green/gray color - BM Par Four.

I have dark wood furniture and my dining room chairs are upholstered in a cream color. Also, my formal china, which I display, has a pale green border.

I like the pale green - it almost functions as a neutral. I can add seasonal table linens and accessories and it basically "goes" with everything. I just hosted Thanksgiving and used dark greens, golds, and burnt orange colors on the table. At Christmas, the pale green is a good back drop for shades of green and red. In the spring, it plays well with pastel colors, such as pale yellow, light blue.

my whole main level for the past 6 years has been bm adobe beige.
i absolutely loved this color and it went with everything.
i dont know what your other colors are in the house, but i have espresso furniture and i have changed my colors around many times and no matter what i do, the adobe beige always looks great.
