We've been in this house four months, and the drab neutral color that runs the entire length of the living area/dining area/kitchen/hall/laundry room is driving me nuts! DH is more than willing to repaint, but insists we need to paint it all another neutral (like beige) since all of the "living space" runs together/can be seen from one end to the other. This same color would go around the kitchen cabinets, etc. He thinks we should save the "real" colors for the two bedrooms and bath on the same floor. (The floors are very light maple, kitchen cabinets and window/door trim are a warm hickory, if that matters. There is tons of natural east and southern light.)
I, OTOH, love color, but would be willing to go with something in the gray/green/brown family (aka fairly neutral, but still with some "life"). I love this palate, for example:

or the "arts and crafts" section here:

So has anyone painted a great room, or series of connected room the same color that wasn't beige and are glad they did it?
TIA!
