Any guess on this paint color?

13 years ago

I LOVE this room and would really like to know the paint color. My first thought was something similar to BM Maple Sugar but lighting can affect colors so much. My problem always seems to be that I love dark gold, orange colors at night but they can be too bright and harsh during the day.

The lighting in your inspiration room made the paint have so many different shades! I was looking on the Ben Moore color viewer page, choosing the living room with a stacked rock fireplace, and, on my monitor, it looks similar to warm tan 2162-30, dark mustard 2161-30, golden retriever 2165-30, af-355 Etruscan, Richmond gold HC-41, then my computer slowed down too much to look for more! Good luck!

Thanks teresatree! I think Richmond Gold is close, I might go and get a sample today. I don't have a Etruscan swatch but is sounds interesting, I'll check it out. I am painting white upper cabinets (BM Swiss Coffee) and Bittersweet Choc. lowers. The wall color I was going to use was BM Oakwood but it's looking a little cold and I thought the rich dark goldish brown color would look nice and warm it up. We'll see! Thanks again for your help!

Honestly, it could be any of the guesses or something else entirely. I have SW Antique White throughout my house. It looks very much like the photos, depending on the room and the light at that particular time of day. In any event, it gives me that look, which I love, rich vanilla. BTW, once you figure it out or find lookalikes, your favorite paint store can match and mix it up for you. I'm in Calif. and I had Kelly-Moore mix SW's color and, if possible, it was better than the original.

I think anntique has it right....this designer has Gettysburg Gray in her living room too and it looks to be connected to her dining room. I'm a bit of a Google-freak! LOL! Here's the link to her dining room and if you click the smaller thumbnail, you'll see a closer view of the paint. Evelyn McKee's house And here is her living room where it states she used the Gettysburg Gray. Living room

msrose....we've used Bar Harbor Beige many times in several homes. It's never looked pink in our rooms. In rooms with low light, it does look darker than your pic. We recently painted my mom's family room this color. She is very picky and likes very neutral walls without color. She was so afraid she wouldnt like it, as it's darker than what she's used to, but she loves it. Her room has a lot of windows and the color looks alot like your picture. You'll just need to grab some samples of the good suggestions and try it in your space. They can look very different in your own home. I find beiges particularly hard not to see pink tones.

Hadn't really noticed the wall color -- just everything else in that kitchen, but the color looks similar to SW Agreeable Grey. We used it at 150% so it's darker here, ut we looked at all the related shades too. I think that would be a good place to look for something similar. The other TV kitchen I am loving is the beach house in Grace and Frankie. Have you seen that one?
