I used a Sherwin Williams color called Favorite Tan, that is actually a very subtle olive color. I first spotted it in friends kitchen and used it in my bedroom. I'm sure BM can match it. Online it definitely looks Tan, but its definitley got a olive tint. Beautiful, and I have gotten lots of comments on it.

I'm sorry I can't help right now, but I chose Spanish Olive for my dining room. They will be painting in a couple of days and I can post a pic for you, but it sounds like you need to make a decision sooner than that!
fwiw...I do think it is a lovely color and believe it will be muted enough for you...

Socs: Another BM color that you might like is Vale Mist. I used it in a bedroom and it immediately became my favorite color! I wanted to use it in the living room/kitchen, but my DH had his heart set on a "bluer" shade... It is very muted, grayish green and gives me a very peaceful feeling every time I look at it.
Good luck

lmcal: If you could post a pic when you have one that would be great! If too much trouble, let me know what you think. I'm trigger shy to paint another color for fear of picking another bad color! After comparing my samples of Spanish Olive with my cabinets last night, Im really leaning towards that one but just need an extra push to do it I guess -- I'm hoping for feedback from people who have used it.

It's no trouble at all. Hopefully they will paint it soon! Like you, I haven't seen it 'in use' yet, but I'm pretty positive I'm going to like it.

Here's a pic of the Vale Mist... Not sure how it will translate over the computer, but I love the color!

Actually, I will go to my house tomorrow and paint an area spanish olive for you. Hang in there!!

The Vale Mist is beautiful - I really like it in the picture there! I actually painted some of the Spanish Olive over the Soft Fern last night and it seems that it is the perfect muted gray/green. My schedule changed a little so I'm hoping to possibly paint the first coat tonight after work...I think!? Who knew the least expensive expense of doing a kitchen would cause so much stress?!

I think the SO will be beautiful! I hear you about the stress... I have about 10 "blues" all over my living room at the moment!!
Good luck!!

I painted the first coat of the Spanish Olive and I love it - seems to be the perfect balance of gray and green! Hope your project goes just as well! Good luck to you also! I will post pictures after the 2nd coat this weekend. Hopefully, it will help future lost people like myself, haha.

So glad you love it... Can't wait to see your pics; please post!!

Danielle, did you ever paint your room Spanish Olive? I‘d love to see a photo of uour finished project!

Thanks Danielle. Very nice! The soft green really plays well with your cabinets. Also good to have decent photos of the Spanish Olive paint color.
