Color Help

15 years ago

I need to choose colors in a hurry, without my usual "hem haw, buy 10 samples, hate them all, go back three more times" process. I figured you guys could help cut through all of that.

I need a true brown - no grey undertones, not too yellow or taupe or peachy or purple. True neutral chocolate brown.

Then I need two coordinating lighter versions - again, no undertones. One should be very light, like off white, the other a medium tone.

I can't tell you how many antique whites, beiges, sands, oatmeals, etc. I've purchased only to see yellow tones, or taupe tones or whatever once the wall was done.

Surely there are some neutral, true very light browns out there that are beige/cream without looking totally different once up?

The coordinating accents will be slightly warm dark red (bm cottage red) and iron. I'm going for a semi french country feel, but not too over the top. I need neutral wall colors though in the cream to chocolate family that aren't crazy with other undertones.

Thanks!!

I'll be back, just starting a new "big", ok, the place is tiny but the work feels big since being tiny is a headache in itself, project soon and will need lots of advice.
