What colour for my hallway? Pictures included

[NigellaWannabe1]

Hi, I have a very early Edwardian house and I'd like to redecorate the hallway in a colour that does it justice. It's a very characterful space, with a lot of stained glass and a massive picture window at the top of the stairs. It's really gorgeous. Currently we are decorating the woodwork in Winbourne White but it's tricky to decide on a colour for the walls.

The pictures are taken in morning light and they are not great, sorry. The front door wall is south facing, so we get lot s of light through, and the side wall where the large picture window is faces west. It's a very light area generally. The door is painted a blue-based red.

I'd like quite a dark colour in the sections currently painted green. I'm toying with a dark, greying green, a deep teal (like Inchyra blue) or a darker greying brown (London Clay, although I worry it might be too dark, or Mouse's back). Would they look ok, particularly around the red door and picture windows?

The living room off the hallway is Elephant Grey, so I like the colour in the hallway to complement that.

Thanks!!!!

What's it like today? We have an East facing living room and choose a pale creamy brown paint. Looked lilac on the walls. Had find a different pale creamy brown paint with yellow undertones instead.

It'll be even more time consuming now that you've gone dark to go light again, so maybe take the opportunity to buy a few tester pots of various lights to cover up the dark and try to choose based on actual patches on the walls?

For my vote, with that stair runner I'd go as PP suggested darker sage green than you have (had!) or a dusky pink - think dead salmon F&B or paint and paper library does a great Plaster colour. I have the latter in my house and it hides dirt/marks/dog shaking mud flecks brilliantly
