we painted our whole first floor SW Blonde. There is so much light variations in the rooms, it looks like we used different colors. It was easier to paint everything the same. Now i wont forget what color we used, and the color variation due to lighting differences is enough so its not boring. We love the color, it is very versatile and looks good in all light. Its just a nice neutral backdrop with color. If you like BM Moore paints, we used Flowering Herbs in the hallways upstairs..it is a beautiful taupey green and looks nice where its visible to the the SW Blonde. In the past, Ive used alot of BM Bar Harbor Beige, which is my all time favorite neutral beige.

Hello, as a Designer, I use a lot of Sherwin-Williams paints. Two recent colors that seem to have those warm properties would be Perfect Greige (SW6073) which will be a great mix of both light tan and grey as well as, Light French Gray(SW0055) which is a beautiful clear warm grey. I like the trim for these two colors in Dover White (SW6385). In fact, I just finished a new medical center and we actually alternated these colors in the exam rooms. LFG on top and PG on the bottom, separated with chair rail in Dover White and then flipped the scheme every other exam room. The hallway was done in the single color of Light French Grey. Rather a nightmare for the painters but when completed, it has gotten so many compliments. I will be posting finished pictures of the clinic next week. I hope this information helps.

@Sheila Rush have you picked flooring, counter tops, cabinets, backsplash yet? Those fixed elements should really help decide your wall color. Also how light or dark you want your walls, Natural Choice is the lightest with an LRV of 73, Natural Linen has an LRV of 66 and Accessible Beige is the darkest with an LRV of 58. All three of your choices are part of the yellow hue family, but AB and NL are closer to the red side of the color wheel (warmer) and NC is closer to the green side of the color wheel (cooler). Hope that helps!

My Dad recently painted his whole house in SW Accessible Beige, which is a griege that leans warm. He doesn't have marble flooring though. His house is totally in the warm (brown) color tones. It came down between that and Worldly Gray, which leans cool, but to my eye has a green undertone that didn't look good in his house. It sounds like you want to choose a light griege that leans to the warm side. Someone taught me how to choose the perfect griege. It goes like this: Have your lighting already installed because that will impact the way paint looks. Go to the griege area in the fan-deck of paint colors (in the area that includes "worldly gray," and "accessible beige." Look at the darkest paint colors on the strips. Considering your room, decide what underone you would like to have in your paint color and choose 2 or 3 paint strips where the darkest color represents an undertone you want. Now move up the paint strips to the lighter colors (probably the lightest). Now choose 2 or 3 light griege paints and go to the SW store with some samples of materials from your room and nearby rooms (such as paint color of adjacent rooms, cabinet color, marble flooring, etc.). Ask the SW people to weigh in. They might suggest a color you hadn't thought of. Get 2, 3 or 4 samples at SW. Paint large areas of your room in the samples. Let it dry all the way and look at the colors at different times of the day to choose your color. For me this method has worked well to choose different grieges for my house. Some of the grieges I chose lean warm and some lean cool. The one in my bedroom has a green undertone which works great for that room but would look horrible in others. The method above works great to lead you to the perfect color without having to get 30 samples.
