BM suggest Bleeker Beige so why not just use thta cut maybe 25% , I am not much help sinc ebeige and tans are my least favorites colors for walls . I think get a sample can of each one you think will work, buy some poster boards paint to caots of each color on a board and see how they look in your space with your lighting IMO the only way to choose colors .My idea of a neutral is not ever something not seen in nature and beige for sure not a backdrop in nature . This is my fave for a real neutral that looks awesome with all woods and pretty much all colors It is a BM color and I often cut it 25-50% depending on the space . Maybe give it try

Thank you Patricia! I did buy samples and have tried them on several walls but I'm really not good at this -- I've still had Decatur Buff on my walls for 13 years now, so change is hard. I will check out Bleeker Beige too -- thanks for the great suggestion. Beiges and tans are boring for sure -- but with all my earth-toned fixed elements, greys won't work in my house. I plan to add some colorful accent walls too. What are your favorite whole-house colors right now?

@chispa WOW, that's really gorgeous! Thank you! The color looks so soft.

My favorite colors for entire house are off-white

1. Calm BM OC-22

2. American White BM

3. Silver Satin BM OC-26

Or Bleeker Beige 25% lighter is Sand Dollar OC-71 BM

If you love Manchester Tan? Go get a sample QUART done at Ben Moore, @50% of the M.T formula and walk that BIG BOARD YOU CREATE around your home.

Easy peasy and probably fail safe with zero hand wring.

I just stumbled on a paint comparison site, and posted a thread about it- but here you go for yours.

Hextoral comparison of access beige and grant beige

If you prefer to use BM paint, Edgecomb Gray is very similar to SW Accessible Beige. To me they are indistinguishable. But I have EG in my primary bedroom and it doesn't have any green undertone. Paint colors don't look the same everywhere - in your lighting maybe you will see some green. But I chose it specifically to not have any green. I sampled Manchester Tan when I was choosing my bedroom color and thought it was too tan. :-) I have had luck cutting tints by 50%, but you can get a very different result than what you're expecting. I think it's more predictable with blues or greens. I don't notice a difference when a tint is only cut by 25%. I love Grant Beige, I think for you it would be worth sampling a larger area with it.

It's important to sample a large area before committing yourself. You can't tell from paint chips what is going to work. There have been a couple times when I thought I had chosen the right color (even with smaller painted samples), but after having about 10 square feet painted as a sample I changed my mind. Everything looks different when you see a large amount of it. Paint a sample on a board (be sure to do two coats so it will really look like the finished result) so you can move it around to see how it looks on different walls next to your trim, floors and existing furnishings.

@kandrewspa Thank you! I love Edgecomb Gray -- that's what i tried to use in my kitchen but I had so many "busy" patterns in my floor tile, countertops, and backsplash that Manchester Tan (not my favorite color but it accomplished what I wanted) was the only color I could find to tie it all together in a way that was warm enough without going too "orangey." I am using Edgecomb Gray in my master bath. Good advice on buying samples -- I bought quarts of both Grant Beige and Accessible Beige, am finding that accessible beige looks better in the front part of my home an and hallways, while Grant Beige looks better in the two story family room (which is flooded with natural light). I don't think those two colors should used side by side -- but I am NOT AT ALL good at this. Do you think Grant Beige is outdated? I really do love it, but I also like Accessible Beige. I'm trying to update my home and bring it into this decade because we plan to sell within a couple of years -- but I'm still drawn to the heavier colors of the past. (I've had Decatur Buff for 13 years :)

The white and off-white look is still in right now, but the last few catalogs I got in the mail had a lot more color in their room designs, so real color on the walls is starting to get marketed to the masses again. Soon the bloggers will start to paint their rooms from off-white to much deeper colors and we'll be back in the 1990's! lol

If you love a color and it works with the fixed elements in the house, then I wouldn't let a trend influence your decision. Do you want to live in a house painted with colors you don't love?

The color I posted is my go to for whole house color for clients who have to choose a wall color for a builder or want to paint before move in .

I have bleeker beige in dining room, kitchen, entry, laundry, bedrooms, and basement. I love it, In adjacent living room I have Quiet Moments. I also have Quiet Moments on ceiling in DR, it works great with BBeige
