SW Bagel Paint color

13 years ago

Hi

i was looking into the SW paint color Bagel. I like the swatch of it so thought Id check to see how it looked in online photos. I know pics online are not entirely accurate and lighting and flash can alter a color. However, Im alittle shocked at how different this shade is looking... Take a look at these two examples SW Bagel and how can the color look so different!

Has anyone used this color before? Im looking for a warm coffee color that has some richness but isnt too dark nor too light.

Here it looks almost mustard yellow green...

Yes, I used it in my hallway off the kitchen. I used Interactive Cream on the same color strip in my kitchen to go with my terra cotta tile floors. The hallway is off the kitchen and I wanted to use a similar color. In my house it definitely has some orange in it. I do think it has a medium tone to it. I think you will need to paint a swatch on the wall and look at it during different times of day. It can look different in natural vs light bulb lighting.

Thank you... I think you may be right with this color. I may have to paint swatch it on the wall bc I really do like the way it looks on the swatch.

Can I get a SW paint color other than at SW?

I've found the color will be off as it is a different color base. Even if you have a chip, it won't be the same. Is anyone visiting you for the holidays? Perhaps you could get a family member to bring it to you.

Hi there, I actually just painted my kitchen SW Latte and my ajoining dining area is painted in Behr Caraway and I personally think they look fab together - really flow and compliments eachother. PICS: SW LATTE looks a little lighter in this pic.

Color on top left of door is S/W Gyser Steam and I’m wondering if it’s actually closer to the color of house in the photo I attached. Color swatch on right is Comfort Gray.

It isn’t any retail paint manufacturers stock color. Take piece of filler and have a custom color match done. But the sheens will not match, nor will the durability of an actual cabinet finish be there with wall paint. You know that you can buy the actual manufacturer’s coating, right? But then tou need the pro level application equipment and skill to get it to match the cabinets.

I have it as an accent wall in my FR which is north facing. The other walls are SW Bisuit. The Bagel looks more gold (with brown tones) which I love. I tried it in my kitchen and it looked deep brown so I didn't use it.

Have you looked at SW Sand Dune? It's a very nice warm latte color - at least in my kitchen.
