Please help me with my painting dilemma

[Laurasanford111]

We have a north facing room painted in polished pebble, the whole downstairs is polished pebble, I love it everywhere else where sun hits but living room has a more blue tone so I painted our back wall in overtly olive to warm things up, went crazy with new cushions etc and does look better, I know the grey does go with the green I've seen it elsewhere BUT for me I just would prefer a creamier colour to go with it. With the dining room leading into living room I can't change the paint colour without it looking to obvious, unless I paint the chimney breast wall leading round the front room. Is there a colour that's close to polished pebble but a bit of a warmer tone?

Sorry if this makes 0 sense I'm not the best at explaining haha

Pebble Shore maybe?

I suspect the pebble has too much blue in it to start with to ever go well with the olive (and being north facing would make them both look a lot bluer) but it's hard to tell with online colours, they're often way out. Colour charts are usually better.
I'm not sure a warmer version of pebble would go with overtly olive. I'd be tempted to go a bit lighter- a lightish cream, a light creamy neutral or an off white, but that overtly olive looks like a tricky one. Either way, I'd be getting tester rollers. You can order some direct from Dulux via the web in lots of colours, but the commoner colours are stocked in some large retailers.

North-South aspects are tough to get right in my experience if you want the same colour throughout or a relatively open plan layout.

It may be simpler to find a colour that works well in all aspects rather than transition between rooms. The olive sounds like a lovely colour, but may be too dark for the space? As @BlueMongoose says, Polished Pebble is quite a cool grey. Something neutral with a bit of warmth might work well - e.g. Chalky Downs 6. It's more of a warm neutral than a cream or grey. If you want to keep the olive, it would work well with that.

This website allows you to plug in paint colours and see them side by side - very helpful when trying to pick a complementary tone - https://hextoral.com/side-by-side/

Portland Stone pale (Little Greene) is worth a look.

Agree with @ClematisBlue49 that Chalky Downs is a good warm neutral too!

Thank you all so much for your suggestions and help I really appreciate it! I definitely want to keep the green, it's my fave colour and considering I love gardening I wanted to bring the outside in, I just wanted the one feature wall which is the green one. However the pic below shows the chimney breast, if I paint that leading all the way round the room I just wonder if it will stand out compared to the bit of wall that leads into the dining room if that makes any sense?! Because there is nothing there to break it up

Sorry here's the pic

It’s hard to work out what you mean without more pics. If it’s essentially one room then I’d repaint the whole lot with a warm neutral. If you have something that divides the rooms like a door frame, you could use different shades; but honestly hard to use a cool and a warm tone neutral in a connected space. Two toning colours maybe as it’s more of a statement but tricky to pull off.

Yes, I agree with @dotdotdotdash . Fine to have a feature wall in the warm green if it works for you, but the transition from a warm neutral to the cool grey would need to be done carefully. But zoning is definitely possible and can work well if you can pull it off. I've seen examples where people have made a feature of the contrast by painting it in a curve rather than in a line at the threshold.

Below is a link to the Dulux site where they have teamed PP with a dark green and Graceful Green, which looks like a greyish green, but that might be too cool for the space. I like the pink, Ballerina Dance, which would look good with the green too, and has some warmth, without clashing with the grey. The answer might be to make a feature of the fact that you have multiple colours in other words, and go a bit bolder.

Last year, before my renovation started, I spent some time studying the colour wheel / colour codes to try to understand the different undertones in paint colours and how they work together. If you have time, I'd recommend doing this. Then it's a case of ordering samples and seeing how things work in your particular light aspect at different times of day and in different weather conditions.
