What color is your dining room?

[Anonymous]

My dining too is a beige yellow part of an L shape living room dining room. I really am tired of yellow and want to try a gray/green color and have accent colors like bright turquoise blue window bench cushion, and some brighter colors in the area rug.

Ours is currently dark orange, which is a bit too much.
I'm itching to paint it a slate blue. The rest of the main living area is pretty neutral.

Ours has a chair rail and is two shades of brown but I actually want to repaint it an interesting color. I really like navy dining rooms, and I think a red shade is nice too. Green doesn't really seem to work with dining rooms in my opinion--seems like an unappetizing color. I think it depends on your furniture and if you have curtains or a rug already.

We are getting ready to do a dark brown with a hint of gray. Its the first dark color I have ever done (every thing is sand colored now) so I am nervous, but excited.

A milky white. My favorite room in the house.

A greenish charcoal. The rest of the house is light and neutral and I wanted to make it cozy in there.

Mine is a medium red. I love it.

Do you know the name of the paint? I'm looking for a good milky white.

Mustard sounds awful but a bright cheerful mustard with little to no brown in it is quite nice for a dining room

We have a slightly off-white wainscoting type deal (chair rail with wood below it), and BM raspberry truffle (red) above.

Wow, that sounds unique and stunning!

OP again. The DR actually already has a chair rail, so this would be easy. It's not a look you see too much these days though, right?

As I was browsing Houzz, I found a green I really liked. Thoughts?

I love, love, love green, but that's a bit too minty, IMO. Another shade of green?
