I have Barely Beige in my family room paired with an accent wall of SW Toasty, and I'm very happy with the combination. However, I have SW tobacco road in the kitchen, and it does not look good up against the barely beige, so I know what you are going through. I wish I had a suggestion for you! The color under the BB on the strip has a pinkish cast in my room, so that was not an option for me. Something I have looked at SW Ivorie, and even though it's a much lighter color than the tobacco road, it seems to blend better. I'm holding off though until I have more time to test colors...I hope you'll post if you come up with a solution!

laurensmom- Go Illini!!! Newyorkone- My paint deck doesn't have Squire Hill Buff (the deck may be old, I borrowed it from our painter). I did find Roasted Sesame Seed. Great color, it reads more orange than the Chestertown Buff. Definitely don't think I could put those colors side by side in adjacent rooms though. think they would compete. I need something lighter for our space, which doesn't get a lot of it's own natural light due to being on the North side of the house. Thanks for your suggestions. Keep em coming please!!?? Jen

peytonroad - I would say the MT looks slightly better with the fireplace. But, the Shaker Beige looks ok too. I agree that the fireplace is a big determining factor. Especially since I really love the brick. I want to show it off. Last night was the first night with the Shaker Beige sample on the wall and I did not like it at night at all. Too dark and muddy looking. So, at the moment I am leaning toward the MT. My biggest concern is that it will look too close to the baby turtle in the kitchen. I don't want it to appear as though it's the same color looking slightly different because of the light. I am having such a hard time undersanding why the MT looks so green in my house. I know that lighting makes a big difference, but even without any artificial light, it looks green. The family room gets so much light from all the windows that the lights are never on during the day. Yet it still looks green. I also put a sample up in the master bathroom (also getting painted) and it looks green there too. Yet, almost everyone says it's not green and the pictures I've seen on line and in the Pottery Barn catalog are not green at all. Maybe when it is on all the walls it will look tan? Or more green?

mark1993 I loved that it was such a versatile color. It never looked too pink, or too gray or yellow. I had it throughout my home in my master bedroom, foyer, formal living room and family room. Once I put it up in one room, my husband and I liked it so much that we wanted it everywhere. It seemed to go with so much, and complemented our dark cherry floors and our tile very well.
