We are remodeling our kitchen with new cherry stained cabinets. Our dining room is painted SW restrained gold. I think SW blonde would be good in the kitchen and also want to use it in the LR. We are also painting our family room. The doorway to the FR is between the breakfast nook and the counter bar. We want to paint the FR Benjamin Moore Brookline Beige on three walls and BM Jackson Tan on the fireplace wall. Will the family room colors go well with the kitchen colors? Thanks for any help.

Colors look different on the internet. Let us know if you think these accurate reflections of the kitchen and family room colors?

Yes, that looks like good representations of the colors.

they'll probably go fine, in fact they may all look the same after a while since they're pretty similar. They could clash, but might instead blend together in a weird way. Which might not matter, but maybe. Might at least be easier to use fewer colors if they're gonna seem the same. can you get some samples and let that help you? I saw an idea once that you can paint white posterboard and cut squares to tape on the wall, then you're not actually painting your wall yet.

Thanks for the suggestion. I might try the posterboard thing.

Honestly, it sounds extremely bland.

I have Blonde...I really loved it in my last home...so much so that I put it in our current home and now I am not loving it so much. My old home had higher ceilings which made a difference. Ivoire is one shade lighter and I think a better choice FOR ME at my current home. You just never can tell until you try it... I too would try the poster board.
Good luck!
