Hi Kylie Thank you so much for your expertise. I really enjoy reading your posts! I was wondering if you have any advice for choosing a colour for a new build condo that has north east exposure. Loads of natural light coming from the East face. North face has an overhang and some trees. I do tend towards colours like balanced beige. One of the colour choices from the builder is gray owl, I think it will be far too blue and cold though. Any advice you have would be appreciated.

Hi Kylie,

I’ve been trying to buy your consultation, but keep missing it before it sells out! You are My color specialist as I’ve been reading all of your advice and learning about LRV, exposure, and finishes. Do you like SW Natural Linen or SW creamy for an open concept kitchen/den with East facing kitchen and west facing Den? Kitchen cabinets/trim will be either SW Super White or SW Pure white- black granite countertop with very vague silvery/white translucent pieces (barely noticeable)- warm brown walnut floors throughout. Sofa in den is a linen color, also we have a red brick fireplace in den… currently painted SW Popular grey it’s brrrrrr too cold for me- Im so over it! I’m going for a comfy Transitional casual style and WARM WARM WARM look. We live in PA, Cape Colonial

Ahhh, that’s Sherwin Williams Alabaster!

And for the light changing, that’s a GREAT question. As far as I know, and I’m not even remotely scientific, is that we tend to have more GRAY days in the northern areas, whereas down in the southern states, there are more SUNNY days, this alone will change the general perceived warmth of any area. I’m going to look at this more though, my brain is churning…

I just love reading your articles on paint colors and they're undertones. I was wondering if you could tell us what the paint color of the walls is in the counseling waiting room at the beginning of the article. Also, when you talk about North facing windows and the light, is that the same for Arizona as well as say Canada or the northern United states? Does the light change as you go further south? Thanks a bunch! And keep the articles coming

In reply to Kendra. YES!! This is what I’m looking for too. I love accessible beige and natural tan- trying to decide.

Suggestions for a warm paint color to go with medium color oak cabinets & lots of yellow/orange undertones in the kitchen?!

In reply to Ann. YES YES YES! I love Aesthetic, as long as you know it's not a TRADITIONAL warm colour as it's more muted and toned-down :)

Hi Kylie! Thank you so much for sharing all of your great expertise! Do you think SW Aesthetic White would also be considered a good warm whole home color? Thanks 🙂

In reply to Hayley. Ooo, Paper White just isn't that warm and can easily grab green-blue undertones :).

What about paper white in this category?

Please save our marriage Kylie! I HAVE to pick a paint color once and for all! I currently have SW Restrained Gold and I am so over it!
My favorite sample on white board has been BM Windsbreath but it is a sad grayish whitish color in my home. My other was SW neutral ground but looking neonish white in my LR.
Just wanting one color for all rooms….med wood trim, offwhite kitchen cabinets, brown/black/creme quartz.
I have read all of your wonderful reviews..just too overwhelmed! Thanks!!!!

In reply to Rachel. Oooo, Kilim Beige can be a tough one, as it does have a wink of pink in it. Of the 2, I would lean more into Sand Beach, but of course it can depend on the interior finishes in your home and which paint colour connects with them the best!

Hi Kylie, great post!! Could you tell the difference in undertones of SW Kilim Beige and Sand Beach? They seem so close, I can’t decide which I should use. Thank you!

How would you compare Neutral Ground to the above colors….especially Canvas Tan?

Great post! I’m glad to see that warmer colors are coming back around, especially for those of us who can’t use grays because of the lighting in our home or that they simply don’t appeal to us. As you know I recently used Manchester Tan when Canvas Tan went too gray in our north facing room, and I have been thrilled with it! Just wanted to mention that in case any of your readers are struggling with the same problem.
