Looking for a warm beige or greige but

7 years ago

I don't want it to have a pink or green tinge, is that possible?

If it helps, I like the neutrality of Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray and find that it has no tinges of other colors like, for example, Sherwin Williams African Gray which looks slightly purple to me sometimes. I need something more in the light brown family rather than gray though for this room.

BM Edgecomb Grey - I think the reason it gets used so much, is the fact that it can lean either gray or brown, but without other undertones, IMO.

Edgecomb Grey is a nice color. In some photos it looks pinkish but I think it may be a bit too gray. Accessible beige might work. Thanks for the suggestions!

Edgecomb gray turned slightly violet in my house ( don't know why, I have tons of light & sunshine year around ). Just had it repainted, expensive mistake.

I'm concerned about the paint going in that direction. Having to repaint is a pain. I hope your new paint suits your home better.

I was looking at Kilim but I'm worried about the pinkness and also it is too dark. The paint will be for a basement with only one small window. A warm color like that will be best though. Maybe I'll get samples of Accessible Beige and also SW Canvas Tan.

When I started painting with Accessible Beige I thought it looked too dark for the look I was going for. I took it back to Sherwin Williams and they made it lighter. It's now at 70%. I did the same color at 50% in my master bath and at full strength in my dining room. In retrospect I think it would have all been fine at 100%. I can't really tell much difference between the 100% and 70%. I am very happy with the color itself. I know how challenging it is to pick the right color. Good luck!

I realize now I have zero skill at picking a paint color despite reading about the color wheel etc. Here is a double post with pictures in case it helps get more replies. http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/4886638/looking-for-a-warm-beige-light-tan-or-greige-but
