I think a yellowy beige would nice with Creme Marfil such as BM Straw Hat. I think Shaker Beige has too much pink it, I'm not familiar with any of the other colours you have tried.

we're planning on crema marfil in our master bathroom too so i too cant wait to hear recommendations/pics. we're thinking something in the light brown/beige family as well but havent found a BM color yet either.

Hi - I just had a very small powder room and foyer laid with 12" x 24" polished Crema Marfil tiles. My painter took the tiles to a BM dealer and had a colour mixed that matches seamlessly with the floor. It's called Albino Tan (I think it's a made-up name) and it's made up as follows: FC310, OY 1X11, RX 1, BK 6, OG 3, GY 20. My floor tiles are light, but I've also got CM kitchen backsplash tiles that are darker, so watch for that. Good luck and try your dealer for advice.

markland- would love to see those bathroom pictures whenever you finish painting them--i'm so curious now...

Or you might go in another direction, instead of trying to get a close match. A complimentary or contrasting color might be easier than struggling to get the right creme shade. We are using a creme marfil slab with warm tones in the cabinet, sink and backsplash and a cool hue on the walls to balance it out. It seemed easier than trying to get a perfect match.

you can have BM paint made to match any other paint mfg's colors I believe
I have a paint color from one company that is being made up in SW paint for work being done to remodel our old house--in fact it is the same color we used in the one we bought last year...
so you are not limited by BM colors--although they are lovely...if you want to use BM paint

After meeting with a very good BM colour consultant several times, I'm leaning towards "White Sand" for our Crema Marfil tiled kitchen. No green in the colour, which is important for me because it helps downplays the pink undertones in the crema, and accentuates the beige/brown.

Let me just say...I feel your pain! We are getting close to done on a bathroom remodel and have crema marfil on the counter tops and crema marfil in the shower. Kind of a light brown travertine on the floor. My DH wanted blue...I tried about 30 different blue and blue/greys (no I'm not exaggerating!). I just couldn't make blue work well. I tried a variety of other colors as well. If you want all the details of what I tried I'd be happy to share more of the details. But, what i ended up with is a paint color called "Honeycomb". I found the paint chip at Sears: Easy Living is what their paint line is called. Then I had the color matched in BM AURA. It's a slightly pinky beige. When natural light comes in the room, you can see some pink, without natural light, the paint looks beige. I wanted a color that visually expanded the room, and that's the reason I chose a paint color that is a gentle, ever-so-slight contrast with the crema marfil.

I hope that helps...let us know what you decide!

I used Berkshire Beige with a creme marfil bath. I really like the soft contrast.

I chose BM Cayman Islands for my walls which looks very good with Crema Marfil. Now I need to find a good paint color for the cabinets that is lighter than the Crema Marfil slab I chose for the vanity. Any suggestions?

Why are you commenting on an 8 1/2 year old thread?

Maybe because that's what she is working on now!!

Have you tried Pale Oak? Mine looks great together.

Cpartist.. because crema marfil is so timeless..and now really coming around again..alittle warmer.. than... after 12+ years of greys

Thank you for continuing to comment on this thread ... helpful for those who are currently struggling with Crema Marfil.
I am rehabbing a master bathroom which has existing crema marfil countertops and shower tile .. looking to contrast with either a charcoal or the greenish grey design seen on my tile image. My kitchen stove alcove tile is not obviously crema marfil but it’s in the same family. It’s hard to describe the color, grayish greenish 🤷🏼‍♀️or looking for a color with a slight edge. My walls are all white plaster, hacienda style rustic home.

Open to any ideas.

Thank you to all 🙏

Sorry - referring to vanity paint colors.

I have Creme Marfil marble tiles in three different bathrooms. I have used Benjamin Moore colors for each bathroom - French White, Bar Harbour Beige and Manchester Tan. Each bathroom has different lighting (rooms facing different directions, sky lights and florescent lights, etc) so it takes some time to choose the right one. Also, I have found that each color ties in differently depending on the backsplash which is different for each room. I have found myself gravitating towards the slightly warm beiges as well. Any interesting combination is Plaster of Paris with this marble and Creme Marfil Eternal (Silestone used for counter tops and bath and shower walls.

You would think Creme Marfil is an easy color to match but it really isn't. The challenge for me was trying to find the right color with enough contrast without going too dark. I have tried to keep the bathroom walls as light as possible.

Just one other thought - if you do find a color that is too dark (ie Bar Harbour Beige), you can always have the paint store "lighten" the intensity of the color. I experimented with this option and it does give you other options.

Good luck as this process can drive you crazy!
