Comments (4)There's no such thing as an old fandeck, just older. :) i.e. Ben Moore's Classic Colors is more than 30 years old. Westhighland White is part of Sherwin Williams "Concepts in Color" mini collection. They launched it after the contract with Martha Stewart for her Signature Collection expired in 2007. The CiC mini collection was created to fill the void. The CiC collection is not a collection of new colors. Rather a 'pull' from older collections that predate the fandeck in the black plastic case. Those older collection colors still exist and can be mixed if you have the "Interior/Exterior Color Answers" fandeck. All that info matters because what you're asking for might not be what you want or what you think you want. The color strips in the CiC collection are a mish-mash of colors pulled from different collections. There is no order, either literal or implied, to the arrangement of colors within the deck. There aren't colors one or two shades darker than Westhighland White. Westhighland White is the first color on strip #14 in CiC and Natural Tan is directly below it.

Comments (4)My entire house is painted SW6148 Wool Skein, a "safe" color recommended by our realtor. It is not too dark for us. It does however have a slight green undertone and thus does not coordinate well with a basic beige color. We used SW6150 Universal Khaki as the accent color under the chair rails. My ceilings, plantation blinds and all woodwork are white which helps to brighten the space....See MoreSW color closest to BM Clay Beige
Comments (7)I looked up Wool Skein and it seems like it is more of a yellowish-beige than a gray/greige like Clay Beige. I am open to other suggestions as well. Yep. Closet color is different from a color match. Out of all the SW colors, Wool Skein is the most like Clay Beige in terms of hue, value, chroma and LRV. And it's true that color can be off from one purchase to the next. Even the shaker speed can affect how the colorants are blended into the base. It's always a good idea to buy the quantity you need the first time around....See Moreneutral beige paint color suggestions!
Comments (55)Choosing a paint color from someone else's photo is really not easy since lighting is so tricky in photos. This is still a work in progress. Top photo is Natural Linen wall with SW Pure White woodwork. In my photo it looks to have a pinky cast; this isn't the case in person. The wall with the samples is SW Natural Linen on upper left, SW Divine White lower left, and SW Nacre (definitely has a greenish cast) on the right. I was also looking for another shade just a tad lighter than the Natural Linen, and Divine White (obviously, not at all a white) is perfect....See MoreRelated Professionals
