I love the whole palette! Great choice! I do appreciate someones idea of doing different shades in each room! Awesome idea! Living- do the darker, the bedroom- do the same color or a shade lighter, then your office, bath and kitchen- do the lightest shade. Good Luck! I know it will be beautiful
however you decide! Have fun!

I was going to say that too, but my choice for the main color would be the lemon thyme, and an accent wall of the sage...

Well, the votes are in... 8 votes for Lemon Thyme and 9 votes for Greyish Sage.

However, I'm gonna say
to democracy and I'm going with Lemon Thyme. I'm really nervous about how it will turn out... but worst case scenario, I'll have to re-paint.

Anyways, the final vote goes to my landlord. If he says Lemon Thyme is too dark, Greyish Sage will have to win by default.

I like the Lemon Thyme. It reminds me of the Silver Sage at Restoration Hardware. If you have thick base boards and/or crown molding with high ceilings, that color looks great with the trim in white.

If you are still unsure, try testing a 3x3' patch of each color on the same wall and see which one you like. Keep in mind that the colors will appear to change depending on the lighting and shadows.
