What Wall Color Would You Pair With SW Nomadic Desert

10 years ago

I painted my north facing living room Nomadic Desert and now I need to paint my south facing dining room. As you know, south facing gets much more light. What color would you use in a sunny dining room which is can be seen from the living room? Cannot do greens, wish I could. Thanks

What about just going a shade or two darker on the Nomadic Desert card-Latte or the next darker one. That's a very popular strip. Can't go wrong.

Do you have upholstery you need to worry about, or are you starting from scratch and getting new? Nomadic Desert is one of those warm neutrals that will go with any color, and IMO, it doesn't make any difference if it's warm or cool. My sister recently painted her family room a color close to the ND, and did an accent wall in a rust color~ it looks great, and very cozy.

SW Nomadic Desert and what?

SW Blonde might work. I've seen photos of it with red and it looks great. Very popular decorator color. Two other possibilities that are similar to ND, but golder, are SW Whole Wheat and Tobacco Road. Tobacco Road was originally a Duron color. Duron was bought by SW. You have to ask specifically for Tobacco Road. I've read that SW has the formula for it. I've also seen the exact formula posted online. If you started a post about it, I'm sure someone here would have the info. I think Tobacco Road is a lot like Whole Wheat, but has just a tad more gold in it. Here is Tobacco Road: Tobacco Road Google the colors above and you'll come up with lots of photos.

Latte is worth a look. Sunlight brings out the caramel tones in that color. Another possibility that would work well with the red tones is SW Whole Wheat. It's pretty close to Nomadic Desert, but that a bit more golden. I have also seen rooms with SW Blonde and reds and they look great.

Just to follow up, Kilim Beige on the walls with Alabaster trim/ceiling looks great in the new house! I love the colors with the dark walnut doors/cabinets and bronze fixtures. They just hooked up electrical so it looks nice with artificial light as well. Sometimes I regret not looking into SW Pavilion Beige, but I don't know why I do that to myself...what's done is done and I should be so relieved that Kilim Beige looks great! When they first painted I thought I saw peach undertones and I panicked. But I did not see that again. It is definitely warm, but I can't detect any real undertones. Flooring isn't in yet, so I'm curious to see how the color will change. patty_cakes, you wrote in a previous post above: "As for the color/colors, just a very pleasant, warm tan that has a beautiful candlelight hue in the evening. Good luck. ;o)" I thought of your comment when we saw the house for the first time last night with artificial light...kilim beige does have that beautiful candlelight hue in the evening! I will post pics soon. Thanks again to everyone, I appreciate your input and advice!

If you're wanting a more sophisticated color, as well as a little more unusual, consider Eggplant. With the neutral it's gorgeous!

Thanks, Ladies, for your suggestions. I am looking at Latte as it may just work with my red upholstered dining room chairs. I have never seen Latte in real life so may have to sample first. Love this strip. Patty Cakes, that Eggplant is a beautiful color----wish I could use it.
