Sherwin Williams kilim beige or Benjamin Moore Manchester tan?
Comments (13)I would get samples. Sometimes people have reported Kilim to have band aid look. Kilim has a slight green undertone compared to my BM Shaker Beige walls (they have a red undertone). If you start comparing paint chips with other chips you'll be able to see undertones. I have another room painted Manchester Tan and it's a very nice color. A little lighter than Kilim and has a subtle green undertone, but I honestly had a hard time even seeing it until I tried to determine what it was. If you're unsure, and looking to stay away from fleshy colors, I'd pick Manchester for sure. It is slightly putty looking and a little cooler, but no flesh tones. I can take photos later if you'd like. Photos of Manchester Tan from Adventures in decorating blog look pretty accurate to real life on my monitor.

Comments (120)Probaby just a matter of preference. I like white ceilings- but I dont think there is a rule. We use same color for trim and celings throughough the house just for simplicity - different paint formulations, but same color. I live in Pacific Northwest which is pretty grey 6 months a year so white ceilings make sense in terms of reflecting light.. Simply White trim is warmer than some of the other whites - not greyed out - but still a light R value. It does not look muddy with Feathered Down. To me it is the right amount of contrast. My house is already full of warm tones from the 90s so did not want to redo the whole thing. Happily, some of those warm tones are becoming popular again after years of cool greys and whites (which I also like - but not enough to change overall palette)....See MoreHelp!!!!!

Comments (14)I can tell you that Silver Satin OC-26, Balboa Mist OC-27, Collingwood OC- 28, and Classic Gray OC-23 aren't white. DLM is right, we'll be throwing names of BM whites at you for a while because there are a lot but it's all anecdotal. :( Perhaps a paint expert will chime in with colour values, chroma, etc. Are these whites for trim or walls? My suggestions: Oxford White (CC-30) doesn't get mentioned often but it's always struck me as an easy to live with white with no discernible undertones. Chantilly Lace (OC-65) - nice bright white that only reads cool in the winter months for me (south-western exposure, northern latitude). Simply White (OC-117) - as iamtiramisu mentioned, it reads creamy not stark. If you lean towards tans, beiges and taupes for decor, I think this would be a good choice. Decorator's White ()C-149) reads grey to me in natural light. Would not be my first pic for a warm-toned decor palette. Same thing with White (OC-151). It's a very cool white. Not familiar with China White. Another to consider (sorry): Cotton Balls (OC-122). Between Bavarian Cream and Mountain Peak White on the colour strip. Reads a touch or two warmer than my Chantilly Lace walls. LRV of 90.67 so bright. Does your BM store not have an on-site colour consultant? ETA: If you're going for white walls, I would pick the same white for trim and walls. Use semi-glossy for trim and eggshell for walls. Why break your head trying to find a second white?...See More2020 Color of the Year from Benjamin Moore
Comments (49)Tough crowd in here tonight. :-) Some other options: A more minimal approach to pink This one ISN'T pink, but I can actually see this pink working nicely in this room, and reading as a very warm, rosy white: It's pretty, too, on wainscoting and trim with white walls And this is probably much to prissy for frostyfootballs, but I can see this soft pink as a nice foil for brighter bedding. I THINK the wall way in the background might actually be a similar color, but it's hard to tell...See MoreRelated Professionals
