Ok paint experts

This week we begin painting the living room, dining room and library.  All three rooms are rather north facing, get little sun and are connected and fairly open to each other. All three have wide, dark brown/reddish hued woodwork.  When someone walks in the front door they'd see all the rooms as well as part of the kitchen.  The kitchen was recently painted in rainwashed, a blue-green-gray color.  

My issue is, must the room paint complement the kitchen?  Do some colors do better or worse with the woodwork?  We do know we do not want white. Or pink.  Dale does not want any room painted brown or brown-ish.  

Here we go again.  I'm going to see what the nice Sherwin Williams staffer, Dale, has to say.

Kahok, I have seen her kitchen. It is fantastic.

Kathy? Gray? Gray?

Frank, our walls have been beige for much too long. I want something different. But what? It's hard.

I'm a bland, beige, person. Maybe Egg-Shell. Just kidding.

Just fill all the walls with books & pictures & then the color won't really matter :-)
