Anyone Good at Color?

The latest challenge...
Gregg found a great painter through a coworker's referral (thanks Donna!!) and now it's time to get down to business for the hallways and guest bedroom.

While I am definitely leaning towards taking a risk with the bedroom and going with a dark gray, I want the hallway to be uniform on all three floors and going with such a dark color there seems too much.

This color is our biggest challenge to date as it has to tie together the entire house and it has to coordinate with the absolutely stunning original brown Lincrusta wallpaper that comes up to half wall height.

Hallway Color Options

Natural Basic Hues

Modern Grays
 Since everyone is a Monday-morning quarterback after we paint rooms, this is your chance to weigh in BEFORE we paint. What color do you think we should paint the hallways?

NEW SUGGESTION 
Thanks Mo for your input. She commented (and I agree) that while she's a fan of gray we needed something warmer to compliment the rich brown of the wallpaper. I think her suggestion will definitely meld well with a chocolate dining room and dark gray bedroom as well.

Feel free to submit more suggestions! We won't be painting for another 2 weeks!

  1. I like this new color option :)
    I am not a huge fan of all these preview programs tho; so many times I fell into the trap of picking a color that "matched" on the computer but after being put on walls it was not not at all what I imagined..
