nanbella... Beige can make a lovely "backdrop" for art and furniture. My LR is Berkshire Beige. I don't think I'd find a "color" nearly as versatile. But..."To each their own said the old lady as she kissed the cow!"

Okay so go to a store that sells BM and get some.

Another thought I had was was bring the Edgecomb gray into the family room (replace the acorn yellow color with it) and paint the accent wall Bordeaux Red (a "blackened burgundy" by Benjamin Moore). I have Bordeaux red in the dining room so it may be nice to pull all the colors together. However, one friend seems to think too much Edgecomb Gray everywhere will be "boring". I do not know what to do!

Hi - these 2 colours sit increasingly further clockwise on the Color Strategist Wheel, away from Pale Oak. They will likely apoear a a little cooler by comparison. So in your setting, they are somewhat less likely to shift quite as pinky-purple. Sometimes, just moving a few degrees can make a difference, sometimes you may have to move a whole lot further to mitigate colour shift. These are a both a touch darker (lower Value) than Pale Oak + more colourful (higher Chroma). They have the capacity to appear a little greenish where Pale Oak reads well for you. But maybe less likely to do so where Pale Oak looks a little pink/purple. If either is too dark? Then you need a colour with higher Value. If either is too colourful? Then you are looking for a colour with a lower Chroma. If these still read too pinkish? Then moving further clockwise again could help mitigate that. Viewing large paint chips or samples in your space, with your lighting will help indicate how they are likely to behave for you. #huefamilies #value #chroma
