I'm getting my house painted. I just received a quote. The guy told me 1 color was nice. Said others were nice 2, but wouldn't coordinate w/ main color. The colors are Sherwin Williams Quixotic Plum as an accent wall in the family room and Mystic Mauve on the other walls. The main areas would be Latte. That's where he said the clash is coming.
This is how downstairs flows: Entry way to a 2 story foyer Immediately in front of you on right,stairs. To the left formal area - living & dining. From that room, or a hall, you come to the kitchen w/ a bay eat in. All those wall will be in Latte. Then you come to the family room. The wall facing you will be Quixotic Plum. The others will be Mystic Mauve. His suggestion is to do it Latte and do the other formal room QP. (no furniture yet - wanted the formal red).
What is y'all opinion? Is $1000 +200 4 paint bad? I'd say it's 1300 sq ft area - plus upstairs hall. The trim would be white - said cheaper to touch up stairrail.

P.S.:
Mystic Mauve is a grayish-lavender - not pink @ all. Quixotic is a dark plum w/ a bluish-gray base. Latte is the color of the drink.

Everything is good, except for his opinion. Stick with yours! He will happily come back and repaint if you don't like the results. If you don't like his suggestion, after it is done, you will have to pay to have it done again anyway. Just tell him you think he is right, but you have your heart set on the other colors, and you won't take no for an answer. Price sounds right, in fact send him to my house.

The mauve is all wrong! Trust him. But if youre not sure about the quote, get two more and compare.
