Paint Color Help Please

8 years ago

I had a color consult with Sherwin Williams and ended up finalizing on Balanced Beige or Accessible beige and then got a sample of each and on the walls, Balanced Beige is too dark and Accessible Beige is too light. I called the color consultant back but have not gotten a return call yet (not happy with the color consult in general, I have done it with Benjamin Moore in the past and loved it, this was very inferior)


I am normally a beige person but am trying to dip into the grey/greige color so I need something that falls into the griege category.


I got Shitake and it is in the running, I also got Revere Pewter but that might be too grey. I also got Barcelona beige but I think that might be too much of a traditional yellow beige.


I have a paper swatch of Litchfield grey and on paper I LOVE it but feel it leans pink. I also like Realist beige on paper but do not have a paint sample yet.


I am doing the same color throughout, my floors will be dark, my kitchen will be white with light counters. My furniture is dark brown/burgundy and my tables and all hard furniture is espresso.


I have a lot of natural light, The house is long and narrow, The living room has light coming in from the East and then the foyer is lit from the West.



I definitely need something lighter to balance it all out but still want some color and while I want to dip into the grey/griege color scheme I am still a warm toned person.


Thanks!
