What paint colors do I use?
Question:My living room color is painted Behr Martini Olive. What color paint would go good with this color. The rooms I have to paint kind of flow together. The rooms are the kitchen, hall and entry hall. The door ways are arched and have bull nose edges.
Answers:
The best thing you can do is go to the Behr website and use color smart to pick the colors you want.
You just pick your base color, choose the style you want, click the room type, click where you want the colors then it shows what it will look like. The link is below;

the first answer is good... visit his link!
but i will also add that it depends on the mood u r trying to achieve... do want cool and open (blue, green, violet), or warm and cozy (red, orange, yellow)... of course u won't use plain red if u don't like it, u can choose dull burgundy or dull pink... both are nice with the martini olive you have.
if these rooms are open to each other i may suggest a double complementary color scheme like: your martini green, green, red, red-Violet... but for the latter 3 u should choose the right tone... it should b dull whether u go for tints or shades...
good luck and have fun...
If you are talking about the trim work I would use a white.
A lighter shade of the same olive color with white for the kitchen.
I like how olive works with teal, and dark red violet as accent colors. One of those might be good for the entry hall.
