I’m going to go binge read your blogs…! 🙂

Yes!! Alabaster is the best trim color. I used it with agreeable grey in my kitchen even!!! Practically the best trim paint color EVER!!

That’s Benjamin Moore Classic Gray 🙂

Hi Kris! Dover White is a tricky one because it has so much yellow in it – I can’t say it’s my fave with Accessible Beige as AB is so muted and subtle looking and you may need a beige/tan with a bit more ‘colour’ to it!

So I all of a sudden wanted to paint my walls beige and was searching for tips online and came across your wonderful article. Would love your opinion: I was thinking of neutral ground and/or wool skein.
For my living room which of these beige would you suggest, I have a velvet emerald green sectional, a blueish grey rug and glass and brass tone coffee table. I also have built in shelves by my fire place to u want to accent in matte black.
For my bedroom: I want it all cream and luxurious, the only color I’ll have is my crimson red upholstered headboard.

Cheers

Hi Marcie! Without seeing the room, but knowing the exposures/oak, I would lean much more into Accessible Beige just for its subtle warmth!

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

Thank you

Hi Cinty! I do lean a BIT more into Accessible Beige than Agreeable Gray as the warmth could sit just a bit better, however it can depend on exposure/furnishings and other things too!

Thanks!

Hi Janet! The LRV for Neutral Ground is 70, and I am a HUGE fan of Neutral Ground!

Hi Roxanna, when it comes to personal questions, I do refer to my E-design! I try to give as much helpful free info as I can on my blog and if that doesn’t help, it might be time for a closer look, otherwise, I’m totally just guessing as to what your room REALLY looks like.

Hi Linda, thank you for your note! Unfortunately, I just can’t guess at it, not knowing the actual colour of your trim, decor, exposure, etc… And I try to give as much free info on my blog as possible and if that doesn’t help, you might want to check out my E-design which is affordable and fun!https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/online-decorating-design-services/

I have a bedroom that will be my T.V room and it has light coming from the west window. The molding is painted a camo brown ( my son painted ) which I need to keep that color. Also, there is a roman shade that is dark brown. I would like to have burnt orange assessories in the room. I am having a hard time choose a paint color. I don’t want the room to look dark. I also would like to paint the ceiling either white ( which one ?? ) or the same color as the whole room. What color would I paint one wall a different color to compliment the other wall color

Hi Chris, well your instincts are right, I wouldn’t do Modern Gray with medium honed toned cabinets!

Thanks

Thanks so much for taking the time to answering my question. What’s another Sherwin Williams color similar to Wool Skein that would look good throughout most of the home? I’ve also looked at Grecian Ivory and like it.

Hi Carrie, I do try to refer most personal questions to my E-design, so I can spend some time with things, but I wouldn’t pair Accessible and Wool Skein – too similar, but different. I would also think twice about Wool Skein as it is lovely, but CAN pull a wee wink o’ green!

Hi Dee, you bet I do! If you go into the search area, which is in the right hand sidebar, and type in ‘white paint colours’ you’ll see that I have 3-4 blog posts about whites!

Hope that helps…

Thanks Kylie- I have learned a lot from your site.
I see that green undertone in some light.
What would be a warm option?

Hi Evonne! Wool Skein can pick up a slight green undertone (very slight) and I might worry about that a bit with Navajo White. You may need to warm things up a bit!

Hi Kim! When it comes to personal questions, unfortunately, I don’t have an answer! There’s a lot more to consider such as size, flooring, furnishings, personal tastes! If you’d like me to take a look I do have a FABULOUS E-design service for just this purpose! https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/online-decorating-design-services/

Hi Sarah! Wool Skein is tricky as it has those warm tones in it, but it can also pick up a wink o’ green! Yes, you might find Canvas Tan a bit better or even Natural Tan. That’s without seeing your home/finishing, but its at least a place to start!

Hi Donna, you could try SW Pure White which is a fresh, bright look (with a wink o’ warmth) or the soft, subtle look of SW Alabaster…

Those are both nice with medium wood and generally speaking, they suit each other quite nicely. Each can change a bit depending on the exposure in each room though, but they compatible… 🙂

Hi Portia, I would lean a bit more toward Canvas Tan than Wool Skein, simply because WS can sometimes pull a wink of green 🙂
