I keep coming back to greige when pairing with warm wood because it grounds the room without fighting the natural tones.
Light shifts can pull out hints of green or pink that only show up after the paint dries fully on the walls.
My living room gets strong afternoon sun so I learned to watch how colors hold up once the furniture and trim are considered together.
Some shades just do not cooperate with wood grain in the way you expect.
Trying a few patches in different spots usually shows which ones will work best over time.
