You might want to try replacing the thermister. I just recently had mine go south. Dryer had been acting up, finally got to the point where I had no heat. I assumed it was the thermal fuse, but when I pulled it out, it still ohmed out ok. Checked the thermister on a lark since it was right there and it was reading way off (500kish ohms, should be somewhere around 12k). Had a new one overnighted and swapped. Interesting thing was now the bad thermister was reading ok, so, I think it probably starts to fail as it heats up.

Yeah. It works now but not as perfectly as I thought. The igniter heats but the flame cuts out intermittently in the dry cycle. All the parts tested at spec for resistance but I'm ordering a $40 suite of knockoff replacements (OEM parts cost more than a new dryer) and swapping the entire set of thermometers and fuses, gas valve, and flame sensor. If that doesn't work I'm at a loss.

Had a can light go out in the kitchen. Climb my ten foot ladder to replace and what do I find? The fuckers who put in the lights caulked them to the ceiling…
Now I have to cut the light out and hope it doesn’t fuck up the textured ceiling (it will).

As much as I would like to use darker colors, it's not really appropriate long term to keep the floor darker for proper framing of spaces and the rooms looking open and airy. I will probably go bolder if I ever redo certain rooms, but I don't think it's really a good idea to go dark. We already have one room that is dark almost rust red with wainscoting and it's terrible looking.

There are so many factors going into picking out a color that its best left up to you to find it on your own using Pinterest or something. Like how much light is coming into the room. What kind of interior lights are you using, bright white, soft white, yellow, etc. What is the theme of the furniture in the room? What is the color of the floor? Is the room small, medium or large? etc. etc. Its just kind of exhausting.
Cyber Blue has quite a few different variations. But my Master Bedroom is done in a soft variation of it that isnt quite dark blue, but not some fuorescent blue, either. With ultra white trim and ultra white sun blocking shades. The floor is a dark chocolate bamboo and the furniture is a dark cherry wood with blue accents like the Duvet, but with white sheets. The ceiling fan is a nice Hunter fan with cherry wood blades and a beige light shade that gives off a cream/yellow light. The corner light is roughly the same. The TV is mounted on the wall and is the only standout, but its an Ultra Thin. So you cant quite see the black bezel.
Thats just an example of how I did one room as an example. It was just.. a lot to think about. I think* you should only do one room at a time and give yourself a bit of mental freedom between each room. That extra bit of thought will give you a design that you'll be proud of instead of "Well this is fine." ... Which, shit man. Sometimes "its fine" really is.. fine.

One thing I found useful was to get "samples" at Sherwin Williams. I'm sure other paint places can do it as well. For like $9 you could get a quart of paint in the color you chose. Pick 2 or 3 colors, get the little paint samples, and then paint them all on the wall next to each other and look at them for a couple of days in different light etc. The little color chips are a place to start but in my experience everything looks darker and more intense on the wall than it did on the chip.

Fan of Agreeable Gray for common areas. We did the whole first floor in it in our current house. Definitely throw a sample on a couple different walls with different lighting conditions and/or furniture, it looks like a completely different color in our kitchen compared to the living room.

I'm afraid they'll both be too dark though.

Yeah I did a lot of testing between agreeable grey, repose grey, and one other. Pretty sure I went with Repose but can’t remember and sold that house 6 years ago.

Definitely beware of looking at colors on your computer screen as well. It might be partly that I have a cheap-ass laptop but when I pull those links up on my laptop and my phone and set them next to each other they are totally different colors on the two screens.

Never know until you throw it on the wall, but I would share the same concern. I would pick up a sample that's a bit more reflective like byte blue for comparison. I've used that light reflective value they provide to some degree of success. I've used 60+ for common areas and then went below 50 for the bedrooms.
