Do you like the greige colors? Revere pewter is a really popular warm greige color. Definitely no yellow.

I do like the greige colors. I will have to get a sample of revere pewter. I have BM gray owl in my bedroom and love it. Thank u.

I love the warmth that appears in the pics:

How about

BM Huntington Beige

Versus:

Decatur Buff

And Frappe

A little lighter -

Skipping Stone

Kid Gloves

Wicker Basket

This seems to be a problem that I am having. I do like the warmth, maybe more than the cool colors. Just seems everything I try goes too yellow or gold. Will definitely research the above colors. Thanks

I really like what you have now- REALLY.

Manchester Tan could work. I don't think you want too drastic of a change.

Shaker Beige?

As per usual, Tibbrix came up with some nice choices :)

Tans are the great balance between golds and too much yellow or green. I like that wicker basket!

I am really liking the wicker basket as well. Torn between that and revere pewter, but thinking maybe I should Go with a warm color. Here is pic as it looks going into breakfast area and kitchen. I believe that area should be same color as well. Right now it is grey owl. I believe I have my areas too chopped up with too many colors. I am a frustrated decorator..ha

Excuse the mess. Very rainy day here in the south. Thanks for your help.

maybe you should go with a yellow based cream color instead. We matched Raffia Cream by Behr with a yellowish gold, Warm Muffin which is a nice gold but was too much on all four walls

If yellow colors are going too yellow, I would try changing lightbulbs and look at the color again. Lightbulbs in the 3000-3400K range will make the yellows less yellow though possibly more mutable.

I think your current colors look nice. If looking for a beige BM Manchester Tan has the slightest green undertone and I feel it looks like linen on the walls. BM Shaker Beige is a little warmer. If you're looking for a warmer gray, it's said to stay with ones with green undertones vs. blue. Revere Pewter does have that green undertone. Definitely test though because lighting makes such a difference.

I like the idea of the yellow based cream. Loribee's home is painted BM Standish White and it's quite lovely. Here's an old thread. Scroll about 1/3 way down the page.

standish white

Reading again, this may be more yellow than you're after though.

Thank you all. Made a trip to SW this afternoon and came home with samples galore. Some were suggested above. I know what I will be doing tomorrow,when the sun finally comes out!!! Testing paint colors....

I like very light colors.

This is one of my favorites; it is probably the darkest color I have in my house, other than trim!

SW Accessible Beige, BM Manchester Tan, BM Bleeker Beige. I'm wanting to lighten up my paint color also and I'm thinking about going with Manchester Tan.

SW Maison Blanche

I love the slipper satin paint color as well as the Maison Blanche,. I don't have easy access to the paint company that carries Slipper satin. I wonder if BM or SW could color match it.

This is the Maison Blanche in my broker's house

That is gorgeous, tibbrix ..really like that color. Light, but warm...

Mtn's Slipper Satin must be VERY light, because I've been in the room in the pic above, and it is very light. But then again, lighting in the room is everything when it comes to paint.

Tibbrix, just painted a form board with the wicker color suggested by you in above post. It is a gorgeous warm color. Have several other samples to try. Trying revere pewter next. Will be hard to top that wicker color.

Ooooh, maybe I'll suggest it on that other thread then. Glad you like it. Would love to see it IRL, or at least a pic!

Btw, I think Revere Pewter needs good light to bring out the beige in it. I tried it on my DR walls, which don't get a lot of natural light, and it looked like cement (to me). A lot of people love that color, though. Another to look at is SW Amazing Gray, and SW is on sale right now too.

Another to try, though, similar to the Wicker Basket but which would have a bit more of a warm glow to it, is BM Lenox Tan.

BM Wicker Basket

BM Lenox Tan

I've got the LT in my low-light Living room and absolute LOVE it. It is so warm and luscious, NO green or yellow or red undertones, it is a "true tan", IMO. I'd love to compare the Wicker Basket with the LT on my own walls, though. I think it'd be a very tough choice!

We're painting our walls Sherwin-williams Softer Tan and we really like it. A nice change to the Gold color we had. It's a nice clean color. Not too dark and not too light. I must add, it's a nice neutral.

SW Softer Tan. This does look good for a whole-house warm neutral!

Sorry to intrude, but has anyone used SW Worldly Gray? Our builder uses only white, beiges or 2 grays, Repose and Worldly. Worldly is a beigey gray (at least on the chip) and I thought for the time being until we add some different colors on our own it would be a good choice from a limited list of colors.

There's so much brown and beige in your home that you are going to focus on the paint. My eye goes to your colorful patterned pillows for relief from the sameness. I wonder if you might not like your wall color with a change in artwork and accessories? Remove all the "high-up" art pieces and replace the subdued still lifes and landscapes with some bolder art. Give the eye fewer places to travel but make those places count. Use more of the blue and red instead of the browns.

I can't see much of the dining room, but I would consider painting it blue.

Picture rotated.

I have been very happy with SW Antique White. I have Worldly Gray and Amazing Gray and prefer the Amazing Gray.

Thanks everyone for all your wonderful input. I have so many paint sample boards laying around....I did rule out the wicker basket. I believe it looks too much like my present Decatur buff in the entrance and stairway....I am really liking edgecomb gray....seems I am finding that I am being attracted to the much lighter look... I have used so much of the warm, darker colors in the past, that I think I am ready for a change. Mayflowers, thanks for ur advice. I do love blues and reds. Would love a change from this brown sofa as well....something lighter and more neutral...thanks guys.....getting ready to paint a sample board of softer tan!!!!!!

Here is my living room and hall rug..

How about bm greenbrier beige. I currently have decatur buff and am switching to greenbrier as it has more gray undertones

Toletray, what do you call that alcove area above your front door? I am looking for ideas on decorating my new house and we have a couple of those but I cannot figure out what they are called. Thanks!

Melaroma I have no idea what it is called. Mine is a dust collector. Ha Needs cleaning. I have to get out my big ladder I order to get up there. Thinking a good cleaning is in order,when I finally decide on a paint color.

SW Wool Skein is a light greige with no gold undertones.

toletray, if you want to go lighter, don't bother with the Lenox Tan.

Well, it is me again. Trying to decide on a color for the living room and stairway area still. Here is a picture of my living room carpet and hall carpet. I think I am ruling out tans. Maybe I am leaning more toward grays or an off white color of some sort. Do any of these colors work .....left to right BM gray owl, BM edgecomb, BM revere pewter., BM ashwood

Thanks for all your help.

We recently painted our whole house from beige (some colour match from my parents house) to RP. We get a lot of light in our house. What I like about it is that it modernized the place up while still keeping it warm. We're not a cool grey people. Our house is full of wood and warm colours, so RP seems to keep with that but get it into the 2010s. And I'm also loving lighter colours. I have a gorgeous darkish teal in my bedroom but want to lighten it up to RP.

We also did some accent walls Ashley Grey. That's pretty taupey and I can almost see a bit of purple in it sometimes in the right light. But it's a beautiful touch darker colour without being too dark.

Just came back from getting a sample of Maison Blanche from SW,. This just might be the color I am looking for.

My broker's house has Maison Blanche.

Here's a pic of the main sitting area

I think of it as being more like what you see around the large doorway/windows into the enclosed porch. It's a beautiful color: very airy, elegant….

For,those of you who have Revere Pewter, would you say it is darker or lighter than the Maison Blanche in the above photo..also does it have blue undertones? Any opinions on which color would work better in my area? Thanks so much.

My choice would be the Maison Blanche. It has the sophistication that your interiors seems to have - rugs, artwork... It's both warm and airy and light. Revere pewter, to me, is cold and cement like, at least that's what it looked like when I sampled it on my DR wall.

Thank u Tibbrix. You have been a great help. I was leaning toward that one. Will post a picture once it is done.

Really looking forward to seeing it!

I am interested in this color as well. What are the undertones of Maison Blanche?

Ellendi, pick up Sherwin William's Whites and Lights brochure. It has paint samples of about fifty colors, categorized into cool and warm whites. The undertones are pretty easy to see. Maison Blanche is warm and looks like it has gold undertones, maybe even a touch of green, in comparison to the other colors in the brochure. However, it has a definite red undertone on the SW website. But I've found that none of the paint chips from the BM or SW websites that get posted here look anything like the real color.

I have RP, no blue undertones at all, greenish if anything. I would say it's a touch darker, but not by much compared to your other sample. Don't think you could go wrong either way. The maison blanche looks really warm and cozy. RP in my space is also warm but a bit cooler than beiges.

toletray... We're going thru the exact same thing... From gold walls to something lighter. We are strongly considering SW Accessible Beige. Would love to hear what you ended up with?

Hi Jo...after painting and repainting the room, we ended up with a BM Ashwood. It is a very pretty neutral that I feel I won't tire of anytime soon.

Looks great. Did you 1st paint it with maison blanche and then repaint with the ashwood? If so what didn't you like about the maison?

Decatur buff?
