I am really bad at choosing paint colors considering I was an art major.

As you probably know and are sick of hearing about, we are trying to pick our 5th (or maybe 6th?) paint color attempt for the living room. I fully acknowledge that everyone thinks we're insane. We're just trying to do a good job with our place so that we don't hate it in 6 months and want to change things.

We recently got two paint samples from Benjamin Moore and the one that we liked better on the wall was Woodcliff Lake:

(No, that's not our livingroom. Settle down.)

But, we are a little worried it is too dark and/or too brown (we prefer a grayer tone). So, we are now considering the two below colors, which I realize are probably barely distinguishable from each other.

and Chelsea Gray:

I'm not even asking you to vote, though I assume at least one person might have an opinion. I'm just trying to explain to you the joys of paint. You'd think I could do a better job picking colors and being sure about it since I was an art major. I guess I'm not the painting kind of art major. I should stick to line drawing and black and white photography I guess. SIGH.
