it could end on the end of each wall, just make sure that u got the same family of colors so it would blend (tints / tones / shades).
lets say you got mid-green in the kitchen, u must have mid-blue in the living.. u know what i mean? dont use pastel in the kitchen then use primary in the living.. wall colors should blend if u got an open floor plan.
but, cornice, baseboards, etc. must have same color still. if u want to cut it w/ color, try to use some false column in between.
having a paint pattern on the other room (living) could also help. ex: kitchen is old salmon, at the end of the wall connecting to the living can be painted in stripes of mocha & ochre.
but 1st, try some paint swatches & put them together imagining that those are small walls, if it’s good then that’s it!
good luck!

Paint two adjoining walls the same color. Paint the other two adjoining walls a color 3 shade deeper. Very dramatic.

If your open concept home is contemporary in design and decor. I have seen an interesting solution. It sounds bizarre, but the home owner made an abrupt transition from one color to the other by making an abstract ess type curve . It was made using a high quality paint masking tape that kept the edges absolutely sharp with no blurring or bleeding of colors into one another. Very impressive!!!!!
Just an idea

Good luck
