This is an entryway from foyer to living room. What color should the wall behind the column be? Foyer color, living room color or accent trim (white?)

Foyer color. The space "reads" like the end of the foyer wall.

All jambs of the archway should be foyer color: left, right, and top. Weathy is correct due to a) the higher traffic flow and b) the location of the hardwood flooring threshold. Great question, jseamster!

Hi guys advise needed. After much back and forth I have decided to get our kitchen/livingroom/diner painted duckegg blue. I adore the colour. I was wanting duckegg blue cabinets but feel that it would be too much duckegg. What colour kitchen cabinets and island would u suggest. I m having a traditional style kitchen with an average size island. Oak herringbone laminate flooring. White ceiling, coving.

Hi, Please see the link attached; https://www.houzz.ie/hznb/projects/buildtech-hallway-and-stairs-before-and-after-pj-vj~6673682 . This is a renovation of a stairwell, hallway and landing we did recently. As you can see, we also created bespoke paneling for the client and the space itself is quite similar to yours. This may give you an idea of what colour looks well above the paneling. Let us know what you think! Regards, BuildTech.

Love your room, we have Farrow & Ball Mizzle, its a light greyish green with Little Green Clay Mid which is really a soft white with a tiny hint of grey on skirtings and doors. That would leave you free to go for a stronger colour on the back alcove walls without 'darking' the room much. The upper sample green on your wall should match well with these colours. Colour would be easily brought (and changed) in with rug, cushions etc, HTHs

Should be the foyer colour.

Thank you all very much! Well that was a unanimous decision. In retrospect, I suppose the floors should have been my clue. I'm surprised to hear that the top archway would also be foyer color. I think I would have defaulted to a basic ceiling color, but not for any real reason. :) Thanks again and Happy Holidays

By the way I love the wall colour in your living room. Can you share what colour it is?

Oh, thanks Tina. Just did that today. I was actually inspired to go gray by the feature story about gallery walls on here. Went a little darker but fits with the palette I chose for the rest of the house (Valspar Summerscape.) This one is Stone Mason Gray 4008-1C.
