Sherwin Williams Kilim Beige
Comments (26)funcolors ~ I have no issue with multiple topics. I enjoy learning. sorry if my post seemed that way. I was just trying to clarify exactly what I was looking for. I miss the Martha Stewart collection ... sure wish I had that fan deck. I used one of the coordinated color cards throughout my last house. the main part of my current house was already painted a color similar to sw latte in family room, foyer, and hallways. it's a very open floor plan so I am struggling to find colors to paint the rest of the first floor that look good with latte. that's why I was sampling kilim beige to see if I should just do lighter and darker versions from the same strip. any thoughts?...See MoreSherwin 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 (3)If you do a search for the color name and click on "images" on the search page, you'll find some rooms that others have uploaded that are painted in those colors. IMO all three have a pink undertone which can be difficult to work with. Beware the dreaded pink undertone. :o)...See MoreIs Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray too blue?
Comments (9)Just did Grey in my kitchen and wast have a very simular problem. Grey can change colors on you depending on the lighting and other finishes in the room. The modern Grey is most likely going to look more beige than grey with all the cream and beige you already have in your counters and cabinets. The Agreeable Grey will look more grey (if that is what you are wanting) and I think that the cream and beige in your counters and cabinets will tone down the blue quite a bit. That is the color I like the best from the sample photo you posted. I would get enough paint and try doing an entire wall (so the paint somes up to the cabinet and counter), then look at it in different lighting situations. Daylight and night lighting can really change the look of grey paint. The first grey that I loved looked great in the daylight but was a muddy brown/purplish mess in our night lighting....See MoreRelated Professionals
