Paint color to go with saltillo tile floors

I need help picking paint colors that will go with saltillo tile floors. The rooms are small to medium size and I need to paint the walls, ceilings, and trim. I will be using Behr paint as that is whats available in the small New Mexico town I live in. Any help will be greatly appreciated as I have spent 3 weeks now trying to decide on colors and the hubby is ready to strangle me.

Did you chose a color(s) yet?

fraidycat,

I am in the same boat, sort of, and would really like to know what you chose. Our building is an office/commercial space. I don't have the saltillo tile in yet so it's hard to coordinate. The saltillo will go in the front store space which has a huge glass window across the front. The back office flooring is oak and there isn't much natural light in some of the rooms. I'd like to paint it all the same color to save on cost.

We're selling, not using the space, so I'm not designing around furniture, etc. and I'd like to keep it neutral, warm, and light in color.

I tried Whisper Yellow. (I also use Behr paint.) It looks fine in the front room but intensely glows in the other space without much natural light. It's also not quite as neutral as I'd like.
