choosing something in the beige range

14 years ago

Hello again

I am still struggling with colors for the new house, but getting closer..

I was all set with Behr Outback for the kitchen/DR, paired with Raffia cream in the LR, going up the stairs into the loft. I messed it up by painting the upstairs bedroom SW sealsalt. I did not consider being able to see the BR from the DR. Outback and Seasalt clash horribly. So I painted the exposed wall of the bedroom Comfort Gray, one color down from seasalt. Then I changes the DR to SW Lemongrass which is like the Outback but with gray undertones. So now these two colors blend much better. But now the Raffia cream doesn't work well. It's ok, and I love the color, but am wondering if I can find something that blends better. I guess I need a neutral beige with grey or green undertones? I tried BM Carrington beige. It worked well, but I wasn't crazy about the color. The real challenge is to find a color that blends, and that I like.

I wish I could post pics but my camera isn't holding a charge for some reason.

Thanks so much!!

Anita
