A good paint color to bridge cool and warm spaces

| In our house we have a beige-ish living room that connects to an open kitchen/family room that's painted grey. They're both neutrals, so on one level they work together, but the living room is definitely more on the "warm" scale and the other room is more "cool." There is a dining room in between and I'd love to find a nice versatile color that will help bridge the warm and cool space. Any suggestions? |

| Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter is a neutral that is both warm and cool at the same time. Or you can go with something that complements both like a slate blue/grey. |

If you know what the name and brand of the colors are, I would look at the paint sample from the company b/c they often list coordinating colors, e.g.: http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/perspective |

Revere Pewter was my first thought, too, though when I tried it in my house, it definitely read as a warm color. |

| 12:52 here again. Do you want another neutral or a pop of color? How about BM audubon russet? |

| NP. I'd go with a pop of color, personally. Another neutral would be harder to fit. |

| OP here. Thanks for the suggestions. I had been thinking about using another neutral, but I think you may be right about using a color. I don't think I want a red or cranberry though. Any other suggestions? |

Do you have a deeper color in any of your upholstered pieces? If so, you could get it matched in paint. |

Oh, you guys. "A pop of color."
No more HGTV for you! Eyeroll. |
