On my screen, Accessible and Edgecomb are looking like a little bit of a pink undertone - more in the Edgecomb than AB. Of those I like the depth of AB better than Edgecomb. From the other group, I still like Clay Beige and Manchester Tan. I like the warmer undertone in these 2 better than the other ones but that is my screen and personal preference. I like the look of CB, NL, and MT better with the floor. So my votes are for Accessible Beige, Clay Beige or Manchester Tan.

Take a look at this one, it's a tad bit lighter than Grant beige, it's my favorite wall color. smokey taupe

Of the ones you post with your floor, I like Accessible Beige best for the more taupe color range and the depth of color. Next would be Clay Beige but it's a bit warmer with less of a gray tone, then Edgecombe which looks like a lighter version of AB. I agree with mark_rachel who suggested moving your final choices to another side of the room and double-checking the colors in a different light.

Different wall pictured here. At top, left to right:. CB, NL, MT. Bottom:. AB, E.G.

Clay Beige

wow they look so different to me on this wall..... (maybe pick out of a hat??)

sorry- I just don't know. they all look so much greyer to me in this photo.

Clay Beige, unless you are really set on going with a gray/taupe and then I'd go with AB or EG. AB is looking pinkish-lavender on my monitor in this photo.

Suggestions for trim color??

BM Chantilly Lace.

You have to eliminate some... or you will never make a choice.

I've made my choice. Clay Beige.

I know it's not accurate but the two bottom colors look lavender on my iPad as mentioned by someone above.

i like the Clay beige.

Ugh second guessing myself after moving the boards around. Clay Beige (right) or Manchester Tan (left) now.

They look so close to one another, i don't think you'll go wrong, but the clay beige looks a little less muddy on my screen.

Actually in these latest pictures I'm really liking the CB, more so than the MT.

I was going to say the same thing as Oly- that truly they are so similar. If it's any consolation, more people seem to prefer the Clay Beige so go with what you were saying all along. Clay Beige.

Well looks like I have another day to sit on it. Prep work only being done today. Painter says the MT looks more tan and CB more grey but they are close.

Stick with your choice. It's done. Move forward. You'll drive yourself crazy.

Good luck today! Let us know how the color turns out!!!

gavavemom, I can't really help with the paint color but your floors are BEAUTIFUL!! Are they solid wood or engineered? Can you tell me the brand and color? They look like oak. red oak? white oak?Are they? Soooo pretty. Thanks.

Clay Beige! Excellent choice. I have BM Chantilly Lace for all my trim. Love it.

More prep work today so no painting until Monday. The floors are solid wood, red oak. The color is a custom color our flooring guy created based on sample prefinished wood we picked out. The floor in the foyer, kitchen was prefab Bruce hardwood Gunstock which we sanded down.

Maybe you'll think I'm crazy but Grant Beige grew on me over the weekend. Here it is on the right next to Clay Beige. Eliminated Manchester Tan altogether. Grant Beige definitely seems to change color with the lighting. Last minute opinions? I know, I'm driving myself crazy but don't want this to be a costly mistake if I pick the wrong one. I like them both.

My choice would be the Grant because it would give a more sophisticated feel to your house to go with the wainscoting, trim stairs, etc.

They are both beautiful, nuanced colors, go with your gut!

You what to know how to make up your mind?

Make a circle with your hands, like you're looking through a telescope. In the circle, have ONLY the paint color and the trim; block everything else out. Close one eye so you can look through the circle and see only the paint color and the trim together. Do one color at a time.

That will tell you what the room will look like and which one is right for you.

what color is this on the wall ?

I still like the Grant Beige best, for all the reasons Tib stated. But I think you'll be happy with either.

I had to make a choice this morning so went with CB. While I understand the reasoning for GB, I went with instinct. Something from the first round made me eliminate GB probably because it looked muddy, dingy and dark at night. My foyer gets only a certain amount of natural light from one window. The two hallways get no natural light. We just felt it was a tad too dark and too green for our tastes and the space , and we were looking for something warmer.

I can't wait to see pics!

Congratulations! Please post pics!

I'll post next week. Almost done!!

Sneak peak

Beautiful! Do you love it? I'm assuming the swatch on the lower left is the most accurate representation of the color?

Depends on the natural light. Upper right when sun is there, lower right in the shadows. At first after looking at 1 coat thought it was light and we could have gone with a deeper color. Now it's growing on me more and more.

Wow! Looks amazing!

Wow! Looks really great!!

Thanks all. I compared my paint board to what's actually up on the wall and the board was definitely darker. Not sure why that is. Nevertheless it's a nice color, very light and airy and has me inspired to redo much of the decorations in the foyer to modernize it.

Lovely color!

Yes! Share the colors please.

I think it looks terrific---- so fresh and cheery and warm. I am MOST dazzled that you already have "situated" your accessories! Looks great!

It looks great!

Very soft and elegant! Whats up with paint not being the same color as the sample boards, the color swatch, etc? There is NO way to compare via the different monitors, phones and tablets. Just not possible and some colors are worse than others. I painted my master bedroom a shade of purple. The same brand and color of paint mixed at two different stores were two different colors. And it looks like 6 different colors at any time of the day depending on which wall you're looking at. Your finished wall doesn't look like any of the sample boards you posted :o It's pretty tho! :) I just don't "get" paint. I guess that's why we're not friends <g>

The problem is two different paint stores, that's why it turned out different than my board. My painter uses a different Ben Moore store. I don't get it. Maybe the machine hasn't been calibrated in a while? It turned out more yellow toned and I was trying to avoid that from the beginning but must say it is pretty nevertheless!

Finally had a chance to take some pictures this weekend. Nine days of painting but it's finally done!

I absolutely LOVE it!! It lets your staircase be the star!

Really looks great! Enjoy!

It looks great!

I love it!

That turned out absolutely beautiful. The color very much suits your home!
