Do the orange blinds have to stay?

@Lori A. Sawaya Not necessarily, but kind of a "if it ain't broke" guy haha

You don't show your floor in the photo, but i had the same issue with Edgecombe gray. showed pink on my walls. I think the culprit was the flooring. i wasn't about to change my floors so I had to paint the walls back to what they were. your blinds might be part of the issue.

Use a sheet to cover up the orange and see if the walls look less pink.

Ryan-Lori is a color expert. I’m sure she’ll be back to give you some color ideas.

My gut is telling me that your flooring has yellow undertones and this is why your choices are pulling pink.

Notice how pink Accessible Beige looks with yellow compared to orange.

(Yes - our brains automatically perform comparisons between colors)

This is not uncommon for neutrals to shift based on what is around them, along with lighting.

I had a similar issue with a gray blue green a few months back. It was pulling powder blue.

I had to look at several samples to correct the color and get the result I wanted.

Original Color Was Beach Glass

If I just increased changed the Hue - going greener, but keeping the Chroma the same it turned dead gray. (Iced Marble) (12 degrees greener)

So I knew I had to increase Chroma.

I tried 2 more colors -

Quietude (5 degrees greener, 2 points more chromatic) and

Silvermist (15 degrees greener and 1 point more chromatic).

Quietude seemed a bit too bright - needed to be less chromatic, more neutral

Silvermist added just enough green color to fix the powder blue and make it the blue/green/gray I wanted.

I don't know how much you need to change color to eradicate the pink, but this is where I started. I looked for some colors that seem to be less pink but were relatively closeto the general color you want.

I pulled the LCH Values and RGB Values so I could display the colors (Note Grecian Ivory and Canvas tan are also lighter than either of your two starting samples)

Then I created the same interior exterior boxes with the colors I would try in order of what I believe will yield the least pink to the most pink. I stuck some yellow in their so you could evaluate pinkness next to yellow.

Sorry I can't be more specific without actually seeing the space.

UGH...I'm looking at beiges, off whites to repaint and that is my biggest fear is what color it will end up looking on the walls...Not easy picking paint colors is it!!

It can be - as long as you don't want neutrals, but most of us don't want to live in a circus tent.

Always1step, I once wanted to use the same paint color in my bedroom that I used in my downstairs TV room. Down there it's a beige with a yellow undertone. Two flights up, it turned pink. Like magic, I took a paint stick downstairs and watch it appear beige! Lighting is everything.

The one tan that seems to work everywhere is BM Manchester Tan. I don't have it here but used it for both my DD's co-op apartments. My husband liked it so much it used it for two rental apartments. It looks good during the day or night and it doesn't seem to matter what exposure you are facing.

I have BM Shaker beige in my foyer and hallway. Not much light in the hallway. This color too seems to stay true.

Your blinds/flooring could be the culprit.

I used edgecomb gray in my kitchen/family room. The rooms are open to each other and the paint looks different in each room. In the family room, the paint leans greige, which was the intended look. In the kitchen however, it takes on a pinkish hue at certain times of the day. I think it's a reflection of my cherry kitchen cabinets. Sometimes it's hard to believe it's the same paint color.

@always1stepbehind - There are a lot of talented color experts on Houzz. We don't always agree on semantics, but generally come up with similar answers on what colors will work.

Working with pictures on the internet is a whole other challenge - they don't always depict colors as expected.

If you can post pictures of your space and current wall colors it helps.

I always like to test colors outside at about 2:00 in the afternoon on a clear day - it is an artist trick to seeing hidden undertones in colors.

Here is a pic of my dog helping me look at colors. I took samples of my flooring, planned paint colors the small piece of teak is my furniture color - had a larger piece in some of my photos, brought the white counter top (only size sample I have, proposed wall tile going in the bathroom and bedding chair and linens colors.

Since these colors all worked outside we stood a good chance that they will also work indoors.

In this picture you can see second neutral that I was considering. Taking it outside and looking at it with the flooring I could immediately see that it had too much pink/purple next to my flooring (smaller sample behind Willow). Inside these looked very similar, but outside the pink reared its head and screamed. That is what would have happened if I painted a whole wall.
