BM Manchester Tan???

2 years ago
I love this color in the inspirational pic. But I’ve heard it described with a yellow undertone which I want to avoid. I’m looking for a neutral tan that would go with
Sw canvas tan in a (2 story) adjoining room.
Does Manchester tan look yellow?
Can you suggest a paint that’s warm enough for a 2 story room & in the neutral tan category?
I have a samplize square but I’m not able to get a paint sample to do a wall due to shortages.

Comments (3)You found that just googling? I tried, but used GW in the search line. I'll try again just using the color. That kitchen is very pretty. They don't look near as beige as the sample I painted. Thanks for the picture and the idea!...See MorePlease vote - Manchester Tan or Shaker Beige
Comments (16)peytonroad - I would say the MT looks slightly better with the fireplace. But, the Shaker Beige looks ok too. I agree that the fireplace is a big determining factor. Especially since I really love the brick. I want to show it off. Last night was the first night with the Shaker Beige sample on the wall and I did not like it at night at all. Too dark and muddy looking. So, at the moment I am leaning toward the MT. My biggest concern is that it will look too close to the baby turtle in the kitchen. I don't want it to appear as though it's the same color looking slightly different because of the light. I am having such a hard time undersanding why the MT looks so green in my house. I know that lighting makes a big difference, but even without any artificial light, it looks green. The family room gets so much light from all the windows that the lights are never on during the day. Yet it still looks green. I also put a sample up in the master bathroom (also getting painted) and it looks green there too. Yet, almost everyone says it's not green and the pictures I've seen on line and in the Pottery Barn catalog are not green at all. Maybe when it is on all the walls it will look tan? Or more green?...See MoreBM Manchester Tan update
Comments (1)The different brands use different pigments to arrive at the *same* color. The two color samples may appear alike in a 2 dimensional way under the white light at the store, but put them on the walls and it's possible to look completely different. Often it doesn't matter that much. Good enough, as they say. Beiges are problematic. Grays are a big dice roll. I think it is SW that mixes color without a "gray" pigment. One of the majors does. Then there's greige. That's where you get the different undertones....See Morelyfia
