gray and dark brown

phillyhome

I'm having my living room painted as well as the dining room. The dining room is right off the living room so I want them to flow well. I'm thinking about painting the living room a gray blue but mostly gray and the dining room a dark brown. Do you think these two colors go well together? I know blue and brown do but I don't want the living room too blue. I'm liking this gray (http://www.color-swatches.com/duron/fundamentally-neutral/morningfog/sw-6255/swatch.html) because it's pretty neutral and something like this (http://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/color/27012_Sherwin-Williams-SW6088-Nuthatch). I will have the mantle painted the same brown to link the rooms a bit.

Hi Phillyhome
I like those colours and they look lovely and may work with the right accessories..however, if you like them then you should go with them - its your home and if you're happy with how they look and work together, don't let anyone else put you off

BUTTTTTTT seeing as you're looking for some feedback...sure I might as well

I'm wondering if (1) the brown is very dark and could swamp the room/rooms if its on all the walls..I wonder if a slighter lighter shade would be better - but if you really like it, don't listen to me:rolleyes:

(2)the grey is lovely but i'm not sure about the blueness of it...i can't help wondering if a different grey would be better... a grey with more of a brown tone rather than blue... that way it would flow better with the brown in the other room...

Then as grey and brown are neutrals, you could always introduce colour (like a blue) through the accessories

However, please go with the colours you like as you have to live with them and I'm just sticking my oar in:)

Let us know what you do and maybe stick up a photo when its all done... pretty pretty please
