  5. Would love to see it in person along with the coach. You want to stay in the same color palette...blues vs browns when you are talking grays. You need to put the sofa in the photo?? But one thing is for sure..paint doesn't cost a ton..mostly labor..so do what you feel you love...you are artistic

  6. Going off of a picture, I'd say Blue Silver or Cloudy Morning.

  7. Turtledove. Walls are huge and darker paint can be oppressive. I like warm grays because flourescent light doesn't turn them or the people in them quite as cold.

  10. Cupboards and such in our rental are painted a grey with a lot of brown in it and I HATE it. So I would go with one with more blue in it.
