warm vs cool beige paint
Comments (10)The room is on the darker side so I want to brighten it up with a light beige. So cream washed it too yellowish creamy and Floating Feather is peachish -- I'm assuming you are looking at the samples in the new master bedroom in order to determine this. Can you describe what *kind* of beige you want and anything else you might want or expect it to *do* besides lift the atmosphere of dim room. I do not understand the difference between warm and cool colors. When it comes to wall color, you have to be aware of what "warm" and "cool" really means. In situ undertone and color temperature is revealed when the wall color is juxtaposed to the other colors and elements and exposed to the inherent light in the space. What makes a color "cool" or "warm" is determined when it's experienced in the three-dimensional space it will reside. Outside of that experience, on it's own, whether a color is labeled "warm" or "cool" by some other sets of eyeballs is irrelevant to you and your three-dimensional space. Labeling a paint color as warm or cool can be useful but it's not a fact. It's just a way for paint companies to organize and categorize 2D paint chips. Sometimes those labels of "warm" or "cool" will stick and end up being true and accurate. On the other hand, sometimes unique, 3D context will affect perception and the labels will shift and drift from warm to cool or visa versa. Color Theory 101 stuff about the color wheel being split down the middle with red/orange/yellow on the warm side and green/blue/violet on the cool side isn't the most relevant color information when it comes to coloring 3D environments. It's 2D color theory trying fit on, and mean something to, 3D structure; some parts of basic color theory are applicable and some are simply lacking too much in the way of dimension to really be useful. Very little light is another way of saying that there is a limited spectrum of wavelengths (of light) spilling or beaming into the space. The light is not robust, varied, or diverse. This is the basis of the philosophy that light colors need light to be seen. There's not much, if anything, you can do to change the natural light that a room receives. It is what it is. But you can do something about the color in a can of paint. If you don't have robust light to work with, you can try robust, complex paint colors. That's where full spectrum or multi-pigmented paint colors can be a solution....See MoreSW Balanced Beige or Accessible Beige with warm yellow?

Comments (18)Hi, I have painted by house with several BM colors. I actually have Monroe Bisque, Standish White, Pittsfield Buff, and Shelburne Buff. I have low ceilings, natural oak floors, with white trim. I have furniture of all colors. Of all the colors I used Shelburne buff seems to have the least amount of green. I personally think Pittsfield Buff has a lot of gold. The color that everyone loves believe or not is Monroe Bisque. I was not sold with any of these colors until I put them up as samples. One of the reason that these colors have some green is it tends to give these colors more versatility. For me I didnt want a creamy yellow, because I didnt want my rust colored furniture to look too red....See MoreWhat's a beige paint color that is less yellow than plantation beige
