SW Accessible Beige or BM Smokey Taupe

11 years ago

Initially wanted to repaint my living room a grey/blue green like RH Silver sage or BM Tranquility or Cashmere Mist. It's presently BM Crisp Khaki. I never like the greenish cast it threw in some parts of the room. However, not only would that require me to change more accessories, etc $$, but I am afraid we might tire of the blue. So thinking about going greige to start changing house to cooler hues and bringing in the blue with accessories. I will paint my dining room either Tranquility or BM Grey Horse. Revere Pewter just doesn't seem to work. It goes too grey in the sunroom and almost blue if you can believe it. I wish it looked like it does on the small chip. I have many large paint boards up. I like Smokey Taupe but see a pinkish cast at times and worry about that. i like Accessible beige but wish it was just a tad deeper. I have tried Stone Hearth, but kids feel it's too brownish, which I want to get away from. I like airy colors now and want calm seaside hues. I also tried warmer greys like BM Thunder, which looks good in certain light but afraid not sure if it will go with my RH Cappuccino hallway. The stair runner and hall runner is black with beigey swirls. Manchester tan and it's close equal but muddier Temporal Spirit (more black in it) might be too similar to what I have now. Does anyone have Smokey Taupe or Accessible Beige or a greige that I haven't mentioned? Does Smokey Taupe look pink or it it just looking that way when placed next to present color ? I might still do the blue greys after all cause this is frustrating dealing with these undertones! I really love these colors. Can anyone guess what colors would give this effect.

I have a combination of BM smokey taupe and deer granite throughout my house. I don’t detect any pink in it. I have honey oak cabinetry and hickory hardwood floors. It all blends together beautifully. Very restful, cozy.

Smokey Taupe is VERY pink.

Try BM York Gray. Same depth as Revere Pewter, but with a lot less gray than Revere Pewter. Pull up each in separate window, then sit them next to each other on your screen, and you'll see what I mean.

Also look at BM Tyler Gray and BM Finnie Gray.

Smokey Taupe really depends on the room/lighting. I have it in my basement (almost no natural light) and it shows no pink at all.

How about Everlasting? On the same strip as Stone Hearth. I have used Everlasting in a couple of rooms. It's what I'd call a sand color. Used it in my beach house along with various blues just for that reason! Here's a picture showing a little slice of Everlasting, sorry I don't have a better pic.

Just when I think I know the names of almost every color, you guys give me knew ones. Thanks so much. I have the paint strip of Stone Hearth, but don't see Everlasting. I will do a search. Also, the York Gray looks like what I am looking for. I appreciate the heads up about Smokey Taupe. It's not reading too pink and my husband thinks I am crazy, but I do see it a bit.

I just checked out the Williamsburg Collection and loving how York, Tyler and Finnie Gray look. Need to get some more samples I guess.

I used Smokey Taupe in my den and kitchen, during most of the day it looks either warm gray or taupe, it doesn't look pink to me, but I do know that some people see pink in . I tried Revere Pewter and wanted to love it, but it ended up looking too much like wet cement and a bit green to me.
