Simple White is red hue family. A hint of pink doesn't surprise me. But Shale is right there in the red to yellow-red hue family neighborhood too. Which is why Simple White was a contender. Are you testing it on the ceiling? Once you turn color from vertical to horizontal above your head this thing called 'flop angle' kicks in and it does change how the color is perceived. The angle strips chroma so the color looks less colorful and more gray and it also appears darker in value. The only other idea is yet another color - Incredible White SW 7028 which is about the same chroma (amount of colorfulness) as Simple White but it's more squarely in the yellow-red hue family so it's less likely it would show as pink. As far as ordered color systems, Dunn-Edwards the Perfect Palette might be the ultimate. California Paints licenses it because it's awesome. Benjamin Moore is actually one of, if not the most, poorly organized of all the color collections I work with. Again, likely more designer-type opinion as opposed to common sense and logic could be the culprit. i.e. The Affinity deck is marketed that all the colors coordinate. Coordinate is arguable. Rather the colors all have about the same amount of grayness. A tight range or consistent amounts of gray means they match on the aspect of grayness. Doesn't necessarily mean they harmonize. Color harmony is just another way to say color order and vice versa. Matching just one aspect like grayness does not constitute order therefore does not constitute harmony. So, the Affinity collection is just as ineffective as Classic Colors.

Ath this point I think it may be awhile. After balmy temperatures for so long things have turned cold and damp, not a good combination for painting. I'm waiting for the new sidelights to come in and may just wait for them to complete the whole thing at once. In the meantime, I have the luxury of more time to make a decision that is pretty much guaranteed to look good no matter what I do, thanks to squirrel's mockups. No lost sleep over this one!

All three of these colors are considered greige from what I read although on my walls husky seems less greige and a true dark grey. I’ve tried so many colors here. Edgecomb grey was completely beige with no grey showing through at all. Reverie pewter was a dark beige On these walls and wouldnt do any justice to an update. I also tried repose grey which was to dark and had a green cast at night. I must have tried at least 12 samples and I’ve narrowed it down to these three. I think my orangy wood furniture it throwing off the colors here. Its hard to see how they would work with the furniture white.

SW Kilim beige would work w your sofa tone. This shot shows kilim beige and a warm rich brown stain that would work for your floors. These are walnut floors which is not the species you have but there are stains that replicate this color tone. Work w your floor refinisher on that.
