Wall Paint Color

4 years ago

In desperate need of help in picking a wall color. My walls are currently Colonnade Gray by Sherwin Williams. It’s too blue, during most of the day, for me. I sampled Edgecomb Gray & Accessible Beige, still too grayish blue at times. I think I want more of a light beige. Any ideas from anyone?

    You have a lot of oak. Beige doesnt look great with oak, the color of yours. Look for a paint with a greenish look to it. It looks great with oak.
