Maybe Natural Wicker OC-1 or White Mountains 906.

White Sand is slightly lighter but it's also more gray, less colorful than Natural Linen. It's pretty but I wouldn't call it a step lighter.

Thank you for responding! I will try the natural wicker along with Muslin. I tried several colors on the walls. I thought natural linen would be perfect but it looks very gray on my walls. And take a peek at white mountains.

Any other ideas? The paint store is 45 minutes away and I want to stop going there!!!!

Did you got the color? I’m having the same problem.

Would love to know what you choose and pictures please.

I know it’s been years since the original post, but I am in the same dilemma now trying to add depth to my walls without feeling too dark. The LRV of BM natural linen is 59 and I wanted the color to be just the slightest bit lighter and found Behrs “bell tower” which has an LRV of 63. I bought a sample of Bell tower and painted a large foam board to compare to natural linen. It is exactly what I was looking for. Still the same ”feel” of natural linen but the right amount of LRV for my home. I use the website plan-home.com when comparing colors.
