I have never seen Boardwalk in person, but on the card it looks very orangey to me. I do believe it is a popular BM color though.

Thanks for responding so quickly nutmegxo. I too have read that it is a popular color and agree that it can look orangey. It really depends on the light. My floor is being installed tomorrow so it should help to get a better feel for the color. Do you have any other color suggestions?

I have not seen boardwalk, but a BM color that seems like it may look nice is Desert Tan. It is a camel (y) color, very pretty.. I had it in my old house and actually plan on using it my house that i am building. We had bolivian rosewood floors in our old house (almost a cherry color) and it looked beautiful with it!!
Good luck!

I had BM Boardwalk in my previous house. I was expecting a pretty butterscotch but in my house it turned a rather queasy-making peach color. I hated it within 24 hours of it going on the wall but DH would have crucified me if I had demanded he repaint to the Classic Caramel that had been its main competition (I'm not physically able to do it) so I endured it for over 2 years until we moved.

With how you describe the room, believe it or not, I'd be pondering some grayed blues, like BM Van Courtland Blue or Wedgewood Gray. Blues go swimmingly with cherry, and although I'm sick unto death of the pale-blue-and-chocolate trend (JMO, of course) blue does play very nicely with caramel tones as well. If you're not used to non-neutrals (meaning something in the beige/brown genre) it can seem like a big jump but you'd be surprised how "neutral" a color-color on the walls can end up feeling. You're headed toward a brown-on-brown-on-brown-on-brown-on-brown room if you go with a brown-family color on the walls.

My dad was a painter for many years and told me that when it came to colors to always choose one shade of color less saturated/more grayed down (and sometimes one shade lighter) than you think you really want and once you get it on all four walls it will be what you envisioned. What looks like a faint warm tone to the beige on a tiny color card become apricot once it covers the whole room. I've renovated 6 homes and that advice has worked every time but once.
