Cream or light gray, they go with most decors.
I had an open livingroom/kitchen in one house and painted it pale yellow. It was beautiful and looked different depending on the light/time of day.
What colors do you like or dislike? Do you want to brighten your room? What are the colors of your furniture and accent colors? What is your look since the look dictates somewhat the colors you would want to use.
White for the ceiling and either a creamy white that is slightly darker than the ceiling or a very light grey, depending on your personal preference. Grey's can be difficult because they can tend toward blue, so gather lots of samples from the paint store.
You could do one accent wall one color to set off the both rooms. Then do the other 3 walls a neutral color to tone down like crea m on 3 walls and a pretty olive green on the accent wall then carry the green in the other rooms like pillows curtains.
Or to take it one step further a mural on one wall flanked by a nice color to bring it all togather. Amazon has a big selection of wall murals. I am thinking about one in my dining room.

You will get as many colors are you will get answers. Everyone will pick THEIR favorite.
Go with neutrals, like beige, grey even green goes with all colors. Grey seems to be the big hit of colors for homes lately.
If you are considering changing the lights in the ktichen or living room in the near furture, I would advise that you do this first, before repainting.
Different lighting can cause how the perceived paint colors look. Incandescent light casts a yellowy tone, fluorescent a greenish tone, with LED light being most clear.
I like a light gray white. Be careful with grays and do not get one with purple pigments.
Go with a neutral color and white trim throughout.
I would choose to colors from the same family with one a little lighter to make the area but different but still connected.
It depends on your tastes, how you want to unite or divide the areas, and how much natural light you get in each room. Honestly, you'll have to drop by a paint store, collect samples or swatches of colors that excite you personally and move them between the rooms at various times of day to find which ones work best.
Well - since you are living in the space - what colors do you love? I recommend a light neutral - like a light tan or light gray or light blue or light green. Look at some paint swatches or get some paint samples and put them on the walls and see what color you are drawn to the most. Also think about furniture or carpet color and what wall color will work best with all of that.
A neutral color like cream or pale green or white
Light gray
