This question is for all you interior decoraters out there

. I am trying to decide on paint colors for my new construction. My great room and kitchen are open to one another, and I plan to paint them the same color. I would like to do a neutral taupe in the kitchen because I think it would look great with my granite and tumbled marble, but I really want to paint yellow or green in the great room. So, I guess the taupe is out. Have any of you seen these colors with tumbled marble? If so, how did they look?
