Help me decide what color to paint my dining room?

Taupe, Beige, something neutral.

I think the corneal would be wonderful. I hate white walls.

Okay, just so you know as I answer this, I did train to be an Interior Designer. First thing is, does the sponge painting technique look great, not just good but terrific? Because that can make a huge difference, painting techniques are beautiful if they are beautiful, if they are bad they are awful. Remember that paint and fabric are sensitive to the lighting you use, which is why your outfit might match at home, and clash at the office. Look at both under the type of lighting you will be using in the room. Or your tomato colored curtains could clash badly with the red in the wall. Same with the cornmeal and the gold color. Is it truly a "gold" color or is it a mustard color yellow? How big is the space? Do you want it to seem cozier or larger? I am visualizing this as being more cozy as darker and bolder colors do that. If you want you can message me, but it sounds like you are on the right track.

That sounds pretty to me. I also like the apple theme. My dining room is painted in red and the person that painted my dining room calls me the Red Lady. I think red in the dining room is very romantic.
