Oh, and my boys actually want the paint to be Oregon Ducks football green which I can't even begin to know how to pick out, so I was thinking beige with Oregon accessories (since we live in the South, I'm hoping the Oregon obsession is just a fad!)

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.

Though both are technically "gray" I have the following colors in my house and think they each look like true beige's: Edgecomb Gray (Ben Moore), below the chair rail in different lighting (floors were newly stained in second pic, not a filter difference): Useful Gray (sherwin Williams)

I've been on the prowl for paint colors for all the rooms in the Victorian we recently bought, and have been looking at lot of colors and collecting swatches and brochures and stuff - it's fascinating to see all the nuances in the neutrals these days - the 80s/90s beiges really sucked. I hate all the gray (though it's lovely when it's on the outside of the house), and while I'm not a huge fan of beige/taupe/tan (wouldn't jive with my house, anyway), I'm loving the matchups of creamy off-whites and whites for walls/trim - going to do this for the attic. Otherwise, cool interesting not-gray colors for the rooms (and probably wallpaper). Don't ever feel like you have adhere to trends. If you don't like gray, don't do gray. No one is doing paisley wallpaper anymore, but I'm going to because I want to. Do the beige and screw the trends and those folks that are all about "resale value" and thinking you need to design your house for the next buyer rather than yourself.
