A picture would help. It sounds like you have a lot of "tan" elements going on already. A different color might compliment those more.

Read Mary Killam on "beige"

The problem is you're asking us to choose a color in a vacuum, without even seeing the rest of the colors. Even if you posted what you have already, it still wouldn't work for us to choose for you.

Each of our monitors can be calibrated just a bit differently. Think of how when you go to buy a TV and look at them all up on a wall, and each TV's color looks slightly different. It's the same with monitors.

Also color doesn't operate in a vacuum. It is influenced by the light and by the colors surrounding it. A color that looks correct in my neck of the woods in SW FL would probably look dull and grayer in the upper midwest because the light coming into the house is different. In FL, the light is actually a bit warmer.

Here are six green squares. Notice how each of the green square colors looks slightly different depending on the background? However each green square is the same exact color. I just copy/pasted it into each larger square. Only the color surrounding the green is different.

Picture of bathroom and as cpartist advises, can't really choose colors per a monitor as this is BM Sage currently, but looks nothing like it. One window, gets good lighting and looking for nice blue to coordinate with shower curtain above and a nice creamy white (currently old Martha color called Lamb and hope to still be able to get it mixed?).

Home Decor would be a better place to post for specific colors. You'll probably want to get as close as possible to the medallions color, and without having that curtain ourselves, it's hard to say what that color might be.

Look at BM Berkshire Beige - definitely more tan than beige. We love it (although it's on our living room, dining room and hall walls, not bathrooms). I'd post a picture but I tried and it comes out looking way more pink than it looks IRL.

Try BM Woodlawn Blue, Quiet Moments, or Beach Glass. All very pretty colors that would work with the shower curtain. I like BM White Dove for trim.

Maybe BM Blue Heather? The blue in the shower curtain looks like a slate blue on my iPad.

If you take your curtain (very pretty, by the way) to the paint store, they can color match it. Then if you want to go lighter or darker, they can suggest the right way to mix to achieve what you want.

What olychick suggests.

I went to the paint store and got sample cans of four colors and painted some foam board squares with Wythe Blue, Wedgewood Gray (which may be "it") and Palladian Blue (looks too baby blue maybe) and will but them in the bathroom for a few days to see it in different lights.

I know it is hard to choose color from a computer monitor but I enjoy the information from the "experts" who know the undertones, how a certain color can change, how a color is saturated etc. Best advise I read here at one time was that the darkest color on the strip dictates the undertone of the lighter colors usually.

Thanks all and will post the winner when I know.

BM Yarmouth Blue if you can take the saturation. Will look good, I think, with the shower curtain.

Look up Gray Owl.

That is a very interesting color. I dont' care for any of the blue samples I brought home. Think I would tire of the blue walls real fast. Back to the drawing board of tans but I will get a Gray Owl sample. Reading about it and called a warm gray. Pretty pics I found online. What color for the trim then? (my bathroom fixtures are biscuit, not white). Also shower curtain can be changed and also like this Croscill which actually looks great with the Gray Owl. Mmmmmmm.

Gray Owl

Tinker, it looks like you've figured out how to post photos. The one you've taken of your bathroom has a distinct blue-green cast (assume the toilet is white, hold a piece of white paper next to the toilet in the photo to see what I mean). How about posting some Houzz photos of colors you like?

How about a darker blue. Match the blue to the shower curtain and go darker.

I took some new pics and the toilet is Biscuit not white. Also a close up of the tile floor. Will be curious how it shows up on here.

Thanks soccer mom but I think I have ruled out blue. Want to stay neutral and use color in the shower curtain. This is an old home and the only bathroom. Not glamorous like those on Houzz, just ordinary. I still like nice things and hoping to move eventually so trying to keep it painted and in good repair.

Also look at Revere Pewter. It can read beige at times & gray at other times depending on the lighting. It may be a bit dark for your space so adjusting it to 50% might be a good idea. It doesn't have the blue or green undertones that some of the other grays have. It has more of a beige undertone. Good luck!

Thank you mark_rachel and everyone else. I am going to pick up sample cans of the Gray Owl and 50% Revere Pewter. What trip color do you suggest. (shower, vanity top and toilet are a creamy color-biscuit) so need creamy color I assume?

Does your paint store have an interior designer/paint consultant? My BM store does. I bring in the finishes, ask her to pick colors, I react to her selections, and she nails it every time. Different people, same result. I check the finishes with paper paint swatches outside while I am there. Then I take them home and check them. Then I go back to buy the paint.

They encourage paint sampling, but I don't need to do that anymore. Maybe it's because I lean toward light muted colors (in any hue). Colors give the illusion of being more saturated when they cover the walls.

The paint consultant knows what colors are popular, versatile, trending, pros and cons, whether they will go light or dark, change color, how they make people feel, etc. and they know how to compliment finishes. These are not the people who mix the paint - my store has other design options (wallpaper, accessories, art) and the designer usually has a desk in the middle of the store.

I ALWAYS need to get a designer with an experienced eye to pick out my paint (except when I buy white, and I have already committed to my white). EVERY finish will potentially have a different paint color match. That is why you need to take your finishes into the store, including the shower curtain.

I just lightened up my BM bleecker beige by one shade, one hue (less red, more gray), and it feels totally different in here. Much softer and more relaxing.

In my bedrooms, the BM guilford green looks blue sometimes and green sometimes. i like both shades. It was color of the year in 2015 probably because it looks good in different lighting and has just the right amount of saturation to not get fatiguing. It still feels neutral to me. A good paint color consultant would know all of this.

Ask your stores if they have a consultant or can recommend one. It will save you lots of time and frustration.

Rather than 50% Revere Pewter (50% doesn't mean that it's the same shade, just lighter), also look at BM Edgecombe Gray or SW Agreeable Gray. They read more beige than a true gray, which Gray Owl definitely is.

Other tried and trues: BM Manchester Tan or SW Accessible Beige.

Or perhaps BM Sea Haze.

Stopped at a new Benjamin Moore store after work and the person there really knew his stuff. I bought a sample can of Gray Owl and he liked Titanium also with my floor tile sample I had with me so will see how these work out.

@Jane... I'm getting ready to paint our living area Bleeker Beige. How did you adjust the color? Do you have a pic?

@tinker... Post pics when you are done!

@mark_rachel, I changed to cedar key. I bought it to go with the new marble tile I picked for the fireplace. There is a lot of natural light in the room. It might be a little pinker than bleecker beige, but I don't really see the pink when I don't look at them together. To me it is a very very soft latte. In the store it felt more gray.

On some adjacent walls, I have collectors item. It is a creamy color, seems like a very light version of the yellows I had before. It works with cedar key. I did not want to be surrounded by taupe or gray, which is why I chose to contrast with cream.

My living area pallete right now is BM white, cedar key, and collector's item. The paint consultant picked out the latter two when I brought in my samples. I told her bleecker beige (taupe) was my least favorite color (sometimes you can't avoid things that work so well), and that I loved gray but didn't want to be surrounded by it.

I lived with bleecker beige for several years. Visitors loved it. I think I was ready to tone down all the yellows on the walls and floor, so I am happy going with cooler hues.

BM has a free 2016 color of the year booklet that features varying shades of white. I picked one up at my BM paint store.

Still pondering but loving newly found shower curtain and this BM Titanium and what do you think the color on the wall could be in the picture below. (anyone who has seen my kitchen update posts knows I change my mind a lot until I get it right. lol)

The beige looks like it could actually be very close to Bleeker Beige or Wheeling neutral. I would still look into Revere Pewter if I were you. It will give you both the gray & beige.

Ok will do. Not too cool with my beige floor with greenish tan grout though? I think that is my insecurity here, not knowing how to mix or not mix warm and cool. Thanks!

Revere Pewter is a warm greige. That's why a picture of all of your elements together would help you & us. I understand about being nervous. You will get it right!!

Project took a turn as I decided to replace the vanity top. Existing top is 14 years old, is cultured marble with the typical spider cracking at the drain area. Got a great deal on a Swanstone top on Amazon, and figured may as well change it out now since we are painting.

Found a painter with good estimate, our plumber friend ready to change out the top over the weekend and need to choose the paint color for walls and trim to get started next week. (Painter prefers SW and I could get his discount but BM would be fine). Shower curtains will be picked later after painted with something to coordinate with this vanity top. Suggestions please for wall color for this Bermuda Sand top.

Do you want to stay away from green? Svelte Sage from SW is nice.

Lol, that is what it is now.

Ha! It looks very grass green on my monitor. Maybe you should go to the store & bring home 10 or so color chips. Set them with your elements & see what you like.

Balboa Mist by BM is really pretty. A lighter beige-gray than Revere Pewter. Winds Breathe also by BM. I'd get a couple of small little sample jars and try your colors on Poster Board and look at it for a few days in different light.
