Have you checked out SW Antique White? It's a great neutral with a nice hint of yellow.

BM Palace White is a great tone...pale, pale beige with hint of yellow.

Please buy a sample pot of SW Whole Wheat--I have it in my smallish open-to-every-room home. It is a real nice neutral with a slight gold undertone. If it isn't intense enough, look at the other colors on the same strip. I really think it's what you're looking for.

Now I'm just tossing this out there - did he rule out Jonesboro Cream by BM or anything on that strip?

Here's why I ask - I have it in my office and to me it seems to have a greenish cast but there are certain points during the day when I think that it takes on a 'peachy/ fleshy' tone. I don't know if it's my imagination or not. I'd found a site a few months back that listed all BM colors from beginning to end in order based on what color group they fell into and JC came up in the orange section. Would never have thought that. Don't know anything about that site so I couldn't begin to tell you how smart they are (or not) about color.

Just a thought.

I was hesitant of Whole Wheat cause of the greenish cast I see on the strip and because so many say it's similar to tobacco Road. I will go back and check out a few more colors including those mentioned above. Thank you.
The trouble gets bigger cause my beigey sofa casts some green hue due to the variations of the chenile. So if something is too peachy that won't look good with the sofa, and if it's too yellow green, the woodwork screws up the color.I love the Tobacco road in one part of the room where it looks more beige/yellow. But the rest is pea green. I considered Putnam Ivory, but I have it already in a few rooms and i know it can look washed out in larger areas. Today is my last try of samples then it's between those I get today, the Yosemite Sand and Butter. Will look at Whole Wheat again. Thanks (this is exhausting)

Any of the colors of that Whole Wheat/Believable Buff strip can pull green. I have it in my basement and I can see green under certain conditions. There is an old Duron color called Plantation Beige that I would recommend based on your description. It is a bit lighter than the Tobacco Road, It's a golden beige, and it does not pull green. Someone posted this pic a few days ago, and you can see the PB chip on the card:

Here's a pic of Ivoire at its truest. No green but plenty of yellow in the right lighting.

Before Tobacco Road got all the buzz, an old go-to color for a goldish neutral was Ben Moore's Pittsfield Buff. It was a coin flip, for me.

GW's search engine isn't worth much but if anyone has pics of Susan's lovely house done in PB, maybe they can help you out.

I have Believable Buff throughout my house. It's on the same strip as Whole Wheat and has a lot of yellow in it and I don't see the green like I do with Camelback, which is also on the same strip. Love it!

The only pictures I have are of the foyer when it was still under construction:

I also have SW Ivoire in our entire house. It is a very soft yellowy beige. More yellow in rooms with no sunlight. No green cast at all.

Just a note. My friend has SW Whole Wheat in her entire house. I told her one day that I liked her light green walls. She was shocked! She said they are really a soft beige. So I definitely agree that it has a green cast to it.

SW Believable Buff is very popular in our neighborhood. Like tuesday said. It is like a dirtier version of Ivoire. Easy to decorate around yet has a definite presence.

Pittsfield Buff had alot of green. I asked him to show it to me. Ivoire sounds good.
I have believable Buff and will look at the swatch also.

I have Putnam Ivory in my bathroom and like it alot. No green tones in there or in my hallway in the basement. HOwever, my friend at works think it will be too light. Is there something like that but deeper. I know it works in a small bathroom but not sure in a living room. Also thinking about switching to something like Bleeker Beige, which looks nice in my son's bedroom. How about lightening up tobacco Road? Will that give me Plantation Beige??

Hi, I have painted by house with several BM colors. I actually have Monroe Bisque, Standish White, Pittsfield Buff, and Shelburne Buff. I have low ceilings, natural oak floors, with white trim. I have furniture of all colors. Of all the colors I used Shelburne buff seems to have the least amount of green. I personally think Pittsfield Buff has a lot of gold. The color that everyone loves believe or not is Monroe Bisque. I was not sold with any of these colors until I put them up as samples. One of the reason that these colors have some green is it tends to give these colors more versatility. For me I didnt want a creamy yellow, because I didnt want my rust colored furniture to look too red.

Here's a link to an old thread with lots of Pittsfield Buff...

Hi-

You might also want to check out Benjamin Moore Honey Harbour or Cable Knit. Both are very nice warm neutrals with yellow undertone.

I had forgotton Susan's beautiful house with all the soft golden walls and lovely views. And I noticed that it is almost exactly 3 years ago, that she posted. Time does fly. I wonder what she's done to it lately?

I was in a friends home Monday and had forgotton what a beautiful, livable, soft golden tone she had in her home. Now all the homes in her little planned neighborhood have European touches and shared similar palettes when built, but people are still asking for that luscious soft golden paint shade.
It's an ICI color, (ICI is the store you have to go to to have the Ellen Kennon paints made up if you will remember!) and it is called Prairie House. Lovely.

Ellen Kennon's buttercream is a warm beige with yellow undertones.

I am going to give Monroe Bisque a try despite the green from what you guys say. Not sure if I remember what Shelbourne Buff looks like. The Ellen Kennon's colors sound nice, but not sure how to get them and I really don''t want to further comfuse and complicate things.

I like the warmth of the Yosemite Sand, but my husband sees a peach color and so do I. When it's wet, it's perfect. Too bad it dries a bit peachy. I may go with Rest. Hardware's Latte. Husband likes it the best. Have to give Pittsfield Buff a try also. Monroe Bisque does give off a bit of a green caste, but it's dark now and hard to see. Another person in the paint store said to try Lenox tan, but too dark for where I need it.
