I am too in the process of selling my home..and posted a similar question.I am leaning towards Manchester Tan.Have you ever used this one?

I'm not selling my house, but am soon to repaint and my search for a perfect neutral led me to Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige. Here is what it looks like in a Houzz photo. I'm going with one sheen above flat but low sheen (not sure what SW calls it, but like eggshell).

What color are your floors? This will affect which neutral you use for the walls

Accessible Beige is a terrific color, so is Linen White as seen on this inspiration pic. It is a warm neutral


Here is an Ideabook on Warm Neutral paints

I haven't tried that one. My designer friend suggested Kilim Beige. What did the majority of people say you should choose?

There really isn't "one" perfect color, but those mentioned are great options! I prefer the slight sheen as well, one up from flat.
It depends on your home's lighting, as every color will show a little different in different light.

You can even go with Shaker Beige (BM)


Or even go with a neutral gray
For example, Analytical Gray 7051 by Sherwin Williams

The lady at my paint store did mention Shaker Beige..she said it does not change in different lighting.This is not my post but I am in the process of selling my home too.

Really all paints change their appearance in different types of lighting. That is why you want to narrow down your choices first in either the Benjamin Moore visualizer or the Sherwin Williams visualizer (both online) and bring home samples to paint on a board to see how the specific color looks in your room different times of the day. There will be a color that enhances your floors and trim work and cabinetry. That's the color you want to use.
If you have gray floors you are more likely to find a neutral gray wall works well rather than a beige.

Here's another issue: all my trim and doors are more of an off-white instead of white. Will any of the above mentioned colors work with off-white trim?

Then grab some paint chips based on the recommendations here and see which gives the freshest look with your trim.

So eggshell is good for bedroom, LR, DR, and something glossier for bathrooms? Can I do a scrubbable eggshell for baths?

There are kitchen/bath paints especially for kitchen and bathrooms - they are mildew resistant etc. Ask the paint store...

I used Benjamin Moore's natural cream on my entire main level and woodwork is Benjamin Moore's Swiss coffee. Lovely together.

Usually semi gloss for bathrooms.

Another creamy tan that will look great with off-white trim is SW Macadamia. I have heard SW employees mention Shaker Beige and Kilim Beige as very popular colors as well. Good luck!

I would use a matte finish on all your walls. I don't think kitchens and bathrooms need to be semi gloss anymore, paint is much more durable and washable than it used to be.

I'm a realtor. My new fav neutral is BM Collingwood. Goes with beige and grey. Also love White Sand and Clay Beige. All BM. Eggshell is great for most rooms, but I love matte for formal rooms. All are so washable these days, you don't need to use semi gloss.

I like Porter Paint Velvet White in egg shell.

Bathrooms and kitchens look better if they're not semi gloss.

My home is painted in Macadamia Nut it has a green tone, but can look beige in different times of day., ea. Room is same color, I love it and it just looks and feels neutral with color other than a white

We just repainted the majority of our home BM Revere Pewter and looooove it! It's a very warm color that depending on decor and room lighting takes on different tones. Couldn't be happier :)

All of the colors will work with your off-white trim. You'll get a nice look!

We just sold our house and it sold in one day. We used a light yellow for all the living areas and an olive green for the bedrooms. The olive green was also an extremely light shade. Just keep in mind the size of the room and stay on the lighter shades of what ever color you want, and earth tones are extremely safe. With this being said we just bought another house that sat on the market way to long due to multiple things but if I had to guess the number one issue was the purple walls. It was a lighter shade of purple but it was an off put. I almost guarantee this house would have sold so much faster if it were for just a little cleaning and stay away from purple and pinks. Most people looking for a house are family and lets face facts would your husband want to live in the plum, purple, or pink shades.....

I attended a decorating class recently. The interior decorator said a really great color is BM Pashmia. She used it in her house. It is a beige without warm or cool undertones. Said it changed color as the light hits it and several clients had selected this color.

I'm painting my new house Fresh Popcorn (Behr ultra) living and bedrooms in matte, kitchen, laundry, halls and bathrooms in eggshell and trim in semigloss, all the same colour. Want to paint it all before we move in,might choose other colours later when we get our rugs etc.

I am a realtor and often advise sellers on updating with color: Benjamin Moore's natural linen, white dove, revere pewter. Sherwin Williams' kilim biege, shaker beige, nantucket dune. Malabar is another great choice.

Check your finishes and the kind of light your room gets. The undertones of a neutral are important and can affect the way the color actually looks on the walls. You can have pink undertones, yellow, green...

I agree that matte finish is the best look for formal areas; eggshell in others. Least favorite is glossy walls unless you are doing a "lacquered" look - done well can look fabulous.

It depends on what direction the room is facing as well. I really like SW Accessible Beige but if your room is facing North or not a lot of natural light, you might get a bit of a muddy look. The LRV on it is 58. But if you go a with SW Maison Blanche it has the same color combo and the LRV is 66 which will help in a darker room or North facing room to remain true to color and is a truer tan without different tones, red or yellow. I am about to do a living room hallway in this color and I will try to upload an after picture to show you finished project.
