Answer 1

I would say that one of the most fitting and modern, but not too extravagant colour will be light lemon yellow , ivory beige and champagne ( the colour). Yes, you are right, the colour should be better light.

Wish you luck.
Have a great day!

Answer 2

You want to compliment the green with something soft. I have three different palettes depending on your taste. I was thinking something like a soft golden beige: Sherwin Williams #6119 Antique White for the ceiling and #6120 Believable Buff (kitchen/nook) & #6121 Whole Wheat (living) for the walls. If you want more gold try #6126 Navajo White for the ceiling and #6127 Ivoire (kitchen/nook) & #6128 Blonde (living) for the walls. Lastly, if you prefer more nuetral palette, try #6140 Moderate White for the ceiling and #6141 Softer Tan (kitchen/nook) & #6142 Macadamia (living) for the walls.

The key to a more updated sophistidated look is to use colors off the same palette when doing rooms that are open to each other. By doing the darkest of the 3 colors in the living, that room will feel cozier. The lightest color should be used on the ceiling to keep the room from feeling too closed in. Also, I wouldn't be afraid of a bit more color in these areas. As long as you keep the color warm (gold, tan, beige) it will make the room feel warm, inviting and again, cozy. In the kitchen you want to make sure that you use a good product that can handle heat, water, and cleaning. Companies like Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore have products that can hold up to this kind of abuse.

I like a bright yellow on one of my kitchen walls - reminds me of sunshine and sort of 'wakes' me up in the morning.
The adjacent walls are a much lighter, neutral beige to make the sunshine yellow stand out and to relieve the eye of this very strong color.
I think 3 different shades of yellow may look very good with green and brown, and to emphasize the nook, perhaps the strongest shade of yellow should go there, with the other walls a lighter shade. Sticking with a general yellow will make them blend and flow together.
Other color choices are green (too much green there already), blue (won't match with green OR brown), red (too busy/noisy).
You can get paper samples of paint colors for free in most stores that sell paint.
I have often picked up a few of the general color I'd decided on and taken them home to get a 'feel' of what they'll look like when held up to the wall.
Careful, the small piece of paper will NOT look as intense as the whole wall painted that way. When in doubt, go conservative, on the lighter side.

Answer 4

I would go out to look at fabric, whether it was a placemat, a napkin, or curtains and see if ( after bringing a couple of samples homes) any have the colors in it that I already have and pay attention to the other colors in the fabric that were used. If the colors are being used together in a fabric chances are that they will look good together in a room. I'd pull the paint color from that.

Answer 5

I think you should choose a beautiful fabric for window treatments (simple valances) and throw pillows and coordinate the paint colors from there. Obviously, the fabric should have the dark green color in it. A floral would be nice or even a plaid. Your dark green, other lighter greens, creamy yellows, soft burgandy, antique blue....all of these would be nice. My gut feeling is that a creamy yellow wall color would be somewhat neutral but colorful, too. Choose fabrics at www.decoratetoday.com. There are other sites, too.

Answer 6

I would have to say, stay away from more green.
Probably neutral colors like white, eggshell, and beige.

You don't want to add alot of color that would possibly clash with the greens and browns.

Check out Sherman Williams, or another paint specialty store, they have sample cans of paint. you can paint them on cardboard to hold up and see what the room will look like in that specific color.
I am sure it will look nice no matter what you decide.
Good luck.

In a kitchen, I dont think of you may ever bypass incorrect with crimson. Its formidable and packed with existence basically like the kitchen is packed with existence and nutrition and laughter. The crimson wakes you up, gets your interest, and compliments basically approximately any variety of upload-ons which you relatively choose to have on your kitchen. you need to use the crimson base to bypass with a Tuscan/organic subject matter and characteristic wine racks and be very top scale along with your adorning.... or you are going to be extra united states of america and do a topic matter with golden, crimson, and eco-friendly apples. or you may put in fiesta positioned on plates and do a extra Mexican subject matter with chili peppers and characteristic a warm n particularly spiced kitchen. Or bypass quite quite reallyyyy united states of america and upload gingham table outfits and curtains with the crimson. crimson is an remarkable leap off coloration for a kitchen...and a coloration that's no longer ordinary to harm out with everywhere else. basically be careful to make useful that the vivid crimson kitchen wont stand proud of something of the domicile. Flowing along with your hues from one room to the different on your place is substantial in adorning, particularly in case you may resell at a later date.

Answer 8

I painted my kitchen a dark goldish color. Its more brown than yellow. (Kinda like a dark honey mustard color) It looks great with our dark wood trim and cabinets.

Answer 9

i think an ivory, beige and a mint green coulours would look nice. lightening sounds like a good idea as you have dark features in there

Answer 10

"Cream" would look great!So it would be the dark wood from the floors, greens from the tile & carpet and "cream" colored walls.
