Sorry it’s SW Natural Linen…thanks, JGiven

Hi Kathy, while I think carpet will have a bit more lifetime, yes, going forward, I would lean into something more flexible like a greige 🙂

Okay Charlita, I’m actually writing a blog post about this exact thing RIGHT NOW, like I literally just took a break to check the comments. I’m HOPING to have it out by Friday!!!

Wahoo, I LOVE this type of feedback, Robbin, THANK YOU! Now I need to do a review of it!

I was selling my house and was quite firm that I needed the most neutral of neutral colors as I could find, (as little obvious undertone as possible). That’s because the house had some very conflicting lighting exposures on the south, west and north sides of the home.
After painting 12 shades of “light neutral” colors on the wall and letting them sit for about a month to see how they looked and felt in all kinds of weather & lighting (day and night), I finally selected Sherwin-Williams’ SW 7568, Neutral Ground.
I held my breath while the painter painted the entire interior in this color and I was not disappointed! This was an ideal paint color. I can tell you that every Realtor that walked through that house wanted to know what paint color it was because they were going to start recommending it to many of their sellers. It does not seem to reflect any other colors into the room. It is not a “white”, per se. I liked that it looked great regardless of whether it was viewed in artificial light, bright daylight, near windows or in corners. It was just perfect. I compared it to Canvas Tan, the paint color you liked, and they have a lot of similarities but I think I would enjoy Neutral Ground more because the LRV is higher. It felt more cheerful to me. But you might want a more cosy feel.

Canvas Tan has this combination of LVR/and R-G-B: R:220, G:209, B:191 with an LVR of 64.
Neutral Ground is: R:226, G:218, B:202 with an LRV of 70

Hi Lisa, my Mom had Stone House in her last home and I LOOOOOVED it so much, I’m glad to hear you love it too! Having visited her home MANY TIMES and helping her decorate (she’s got great style) we discovered that a warm violet undertone is one of THE PRETTIEST complements to Stone House (and a darker green can be stunning too). Off the top of my head, check out colours like BM Sharkskin, Taos Taupe, CROMWELL GRAY, maaaybe BM Metropolis (compare them to BM Jet Black to get a better frame of reference for their ACTUAL depth, otherwise they can seem intimidating)- check those out and see how they feel :). At least they’re a place to start!

YES, these are gorgeous cool colours and are so fantastic for bedrooms and bathrooms!

I just LOVE this palette and have the same one in my own home! I think Edgecomb Gray is such a GREAT place to start when you don’t know whether to land warm or cool! Thanks for the comment 😉

Sea Salt is like a breath of fresh air. I LOVE it in my dining, living and sunrooms. I do believe I will be with this color for life. I also love SW Rainwashed, it’s slightly bluer. I have it in one bedroom and bathroom.

It’s so true! Sometimes it’s the tweak in undertones that takes you from ‘ummmm, something isn’t QUITE right here’ to ‘IT’S THE BEST COLOUR EVERRRRR’!

I’m SUCH a huge fan of Edgecomb too 🙂

Isn’t SW Sea Salt the best?!! So refreshing and crisp, delicious and comforting. It’s taken a while to find just the right accessories and decorations, but it’s so worth it.

I have to agree Tanya. It maybe more about the change in undertones? That’s a question for Kylie. We went with a nice safe Edgcomb Gray with Revere Pewter (darkened 50%) scattered about and are very happy. We needed that green undertone with our cold northern exposure.

Porter Paint, “Grey Beige” ….. Very nice alternative. It’s a clean color without strong undertones.

You are SO all good with Edgecomb, right now, it’s one of the IT colours – and as long as YOU love it, that’s what really matters :).

My two favorite “greige” paints!

Hi Jennifer, thank you for the note! Yes, I hope you nailed it, but if not, I’m here!

Hi Elizabeth! When it comes to personal questions I DO have to refer to my E-design, otherwise I’m TOTALly guessing on the actual colour of your cabinets and the tan/gray of your quartz which will have it’s own undertones and needs aside from the flooring! https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/online-decorating-design-services/

How would you recommend for painting a kitchen/great room with bold flooring, such as terra cotta colored saltillo tiles? The previous homeowner used a yellowish tan, but I would like something more fresh and modern. Any suggestions?

The room faces NE but I live in Scottsdale AZ so we do have a lot of windows and a LOT of sun. The kitchen is modern with warm walnut cabinets, gray glass backsplash, tan quarts with gray specks.

That’s what I love to hear, thank you Karla!

We moved into our house in Mexico Beach, FL in May 2018. Hurricane Michael arrived October 2018. Thankfully, our house had minor damage compared to everyone in our little beach town. Here’s the thing. After repairing the damage, I get a second chance at this beige color thing as the living/kitchen area got new sheet rock which means new paint. I’m leaning toward Canvas Tan. I want a true beige but light and airy without any undertones of green or gold or pink (you get the idea). Thanks for your yea or nay!
