need help with paint colors..

we are supposed to pick out our paint like this week so the painters can come and i'm so lost right now. we were thinking of doing maybe a sage color in the kitchen, but that's not 100%.. and then we have to find a color for the living room/hallway/foyer. it has to go with the kitchen color because you can see both from the foyer. please help!! these pics were before we moved in. that's why there's no furniture haha

really pretty house!!!!
what color is your furniture?

I think sage would be pretty in your kitchen & eating area.
I have the BM color Audobon Russet in my kitchen & I think it would be very pretty in your dining room.

I am in the same situation right now.

We are buying a new construction, but the countertops are already in. They are greenish granite.

So I am going with a green for the kitchen, open dinning room and hallway. I like Benjamin Moore Rosemary Sprig and Sycamore Tree.

You can see both rooms from our living room, and I think we will go with Chestertown Buff. It is a gold color. We have it in our current house and really like it.

Try their website, you can try all of the colors on different room and see how they look together.

Re: need help with paint colors..

haha meg you can come live in our spare bedroom/office! the people we bought the house from, are from spain (actually moved back and the house was vacant for 2 years) so there are some VERY bright colors in this house! teal, purple, lots of yellows and blues. the yellow is just a little TOO yellow for me. if it was more towards the gold, i'd probably keep it haha. my dh loves the purple. he's so weird! i hate it! the living room, we're making it our "african room" we're obsessed with african decor so it's gonna be all browns, tans, etc. so maybe a lighter brown would go in the dining room. like maybe a taupe/tan
