Thank you! I agree with you but what are your thoughts on an accent color? my husband likes either red or blue.

I am thinking red would complement it well.

Red or blue would work depending on your fabrics and furniture and accessories, and bleeker beige and manchester tan work well with any color.. If you go Red - a great one is Benjamin Moore Strawberry Field, and if you want to lean towards to blue - Benjamin Moore Harbor Haze or Colorado Gray are beautiful. The blues have a slight gray undertone which helps them from looking like a little kids room - and with sunlight are really rich.

would this red work???

sorry it didn't work - BM Caliente

It looks like an awfully big room to paint red. Is the wall with the 2 paint samples part of the foyer? could you paint that the same foyer color and then maybe go a bit darker as you turn that corner and come into great room. You can use a lot of red in your furnishings, but I would leave the wall color more neutral. ( red is a *itch to paint over)

Caliente is a great Red to work with! Especially in a room that gets a lot of natural light...

The walls with the 2 paint samples are part of the great room. We would only be painting the wall in the last image red. It's the wall with the painting on it also with the chandelier. I don't want to go to dark in that room since we are painting the kitchen/family room BM Davenport Tan.

do a statement wall - the one that looks the most pleasing to the eye - and a creamy - beige will tone best - you could go for a more sophisticated deeper red, as light is not an issue.

Manchester tan.

Thank you - would you do the whole room in Manchester Tan with no red accent wall?

where do you want the red wall on the picture wall?

we would like it on the picture wall. thoughts?

Red accent wall.

No accent wall…no need as it isn’t even a full wall.

With bleeker beige and the fact that you have white wainscoting which will help support a darker color, I suggest BM deep pointsettia. Bleeker has a gray/green undertone, so watch your reds.

Gray, More classic :)

That's right watch the reds ,that's why I did the drawing, seeing what it looks like on the wall makes a big difference.

Gray walls . You have some very good suggestions here.

That is a huge difference!! Bleeker Beige is in the Foyer. We were thinking about doing Manchaster Tan with an accent wall in the great room. The other option is do an all over color and just decorate with color.

The gray looks good too.

Not a great deal of difference between Bleeker and Manchester, they are adjacent on the fan deck. For more contrast in the same color family, look at Greenbrier Beige or Benington Gray with Bleeker. Or for a mid-tone gray, consider Ashley Gray.

To JudyG's point ... watch your undertones.

I would go with a Brick Red...make it pop. The Brick will blend fine with the Caramel Tan on the opposite wall.

Bleeker Beige needs to stay in the foyer since we just had it painted a few days ago. I need to finding an adjacent neutral that would tie the whole area together.

Why not paint same as foyer. Rooms you can see from each other should be same. Color or a tone of that color. Usually going up or down on your color chip. No accent walls keep it the same.

Were the drawings helpful?

I like color in the living room....if you paint it a beige everything will be brownish in that room...... Do I see a blue green in your paint swatches? I would vote for that. I am not a fan of accent walls.

We painted most of our main living area Bleeker Beige with Hiking Trail and Hot Chocolate as accents. We're very happy with the results. You might want to check them out as possibilities.
