If you don't get a lot of responses here, post your question on the Home Decorating forum along with some photos of the room(s). If it were my house, I would wait until the stone and hardwood are installed before selecting a wall color.

Stone & hardwoods are neutral & sage goes with everything. But graywings is correct in saying that paint is usually chosen last.

I love most greens in the sage family with leather furniture, stonework, and wood but I must agree with Graywings - wait for the floors and stone.

I will have to disagree on the "neutral" of hardwood. I have unstained, clear poly finished red oak with very little little natual lighting in my LR. They read "orange" to me. It is the most difficult room I have ever tried to find paint for. I will admit that most shades of green look good with wood, and the Svelte Sage that Jeana recommended should look good with most wood floors, but in my house it (because of the lighting)is "dark/gloomy/dreary". Where it looks sagey green in most homes, it looks blue in mine.

I have the same problem with tans. Some look dirty, some look pink, etc. Again, most of my problems is due to poor lighting. Look at your wood species and the stain you are using. Will they be red oak or white oak or walnut or cheery. Will you stain have golden or red or brown undertones. It DOES make a difference. Same with your stonework.

We have a green called Providence Olive by BM in our laundry room (see picture, you can see how it looks with golden oak). It is a lovely color. We have dark brown leather furniture and hardwood floors in our living room and went with an orange-red color by the name of Autumn Russet (it was from Lowes, matched by Behr) and a neutral tan by BM called Brunswick Beige.

Tuesday - you're totally correct. I tend to over-generalize, & I certainly did that in this case.

In your case with the orange tone wood, you probably need to stick with a more golden wall color like SW Blonde.

A "sleeper" green color that I really like is SW Austere Gray. I read that it is the same formula as Grassland (one shade lighter than Svelte Sage) but without the yellow. It looks great with golden oak cabinets or floors-adds a cool contrast to them.
