Help! Nursery Paint Color Needed

Jefferson Street Designs

15 years ago

We just found out that we are having a boy in August! Most of our house is blue and green, so I wanted to avoid those colors in the nursery. We're not huge fans of yellow, so we decided on a nice neutral beige, but we don't want it to be boring. We have white furniture from our first child, so we want a nice beige that will make the white furniture pop. We also have some sage accents (glider, etc.) from our daughter's room that we'd like to incorporate in the room. I found a link to a beige paint that I LOVE, but I don't know the color. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I just took a peak. There's one beige I liked on there, but there's no paint color provided.

Thank you!! I wish I could see it with the cream color to decide which works better. I like the idea that the white furniture would really pop on a blue wall. On the other hand I was hoping to avoid the typically baby blue walls for a boy. I can change any color in the drawing.. not sure if that would help or not. So torn! Thanks for the advice! @Hobokenkitchen- esty has so many wall decals for nurseries it is crazy! You should check them out!

thank you everyone. We have no idea if our new addition will be a boy or a girl. I am secretly crossing my fingers for a boy, though, since I have two girls already :) I am not afraid of color... I definately do not like white walls! LOL! As I said, most of our living area is behr prominade. I absolutely love this color. Our kitchen is a milk chocolate color (forgot the name) and it works because our cabinets are all white. The computer/play room is glidden honey beige. Our bedroom is orange and our daughters room is behr midsummer night dream (another color I really love). So while our colors are all over the place, they all seem to work together because they have the same level of intensity. So far nothing in this last room really works with the rest of the house. The honey beige is not a bad color, it is just not as warm/creamy as I expected. It is definately more of a yellow. I think I might need to prime in there before I continue looking at color samples against the wall.

A paper white wall might be too stark and TOO TEMPTING for when your child discovers crayons.... Consider a mural or...a soothing ombré mountain wall- where the lightest color -white -is on the top The wall shown below was created using $5 sample pots of paint. https://www.thebudgetdecorator.com/paint-wall-murals-kids-10-easy-diy-projects/ Although this is super expensive "de Gournay" wallpaper - It would not be hard to paint,...(white furniture) gender neutral- green and yellow -lemon grove Perhaps mural wallpaper ----https://www.amazon.com/Simple-Flower-Hand-Painted-Modern-Wallpaper/dp/B07SZTR6QV/ref=sr_1_74?m=A34CX5XZ8EWWS&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&qid=1563300861&s=merchant-items&sr=1-74 Or..

Pure Performance egg is my favorite. It's not shiny but it has slip. However, darker colors do show up a smidge shinier. Which is normal because that's what colorant does but it's still not too shiny. SW's Cashmere lo lustre is my second favorite. Not as much slip as PP but I still find it pretty durable to clean. It also touches up nicely with a dampened then dipped sponge brush. Multiple thin coats, never a fat coat. Close second/third is Aura matte. If all else fails, you can touch it up. Again dampened then dipped sponge brush works best. Multiple thin coats, never a fat coat.

I'm at work away from my beloved fan decks right now. In some ways it almost looks like it has a green tint to it and in others grey. And others very much beige. Maybe a griege color?

If you could let us know who the poster is on the gallery forum we might be able to help figure out the color.

BTW - thanks for posting the link. I'm going to have to try that alphabet in DD's nursery.

It looks a bit like Grant Beige to me, HC-83 from Ben Moore. If not, maybe Bleeker Beige on the same strip?

Thanks, everyone, for your advice. Unfortunately, I hadn't gotten the responses before I went to the paint store. The lady there suggested BM hot spring stones. We went ahead and painted yesterday. The color is very pretty, but it may be a bit dark. We'll live with it, though. Thanks again!
