Beige is currently making a come back after the grey frenzy. However, I’ve always preferred to paint walls a soft beige as the primary neutral and bring in color through things like a sofa, pillows, and decor accessories.

Finding that perfect balance is sometimes hard because a lot of beige paint colors tend to have a yellow, green, or pink undertone. Additionally, lighting in your room and the direction your room is facing will play a part in which undertone is more pronounced.

Remember to always swatch before committing. I usually swatch two coats on a large white poster board and tape them on the walls so I can observe them and move them around throughout the day.

Encycolorpedia is a great reference when it comes to choosing a paint color. Searching for a color will tell you everything you need to know, including color formula, LRV, close-matching paints from other brands, and more.

Below are some pretty examples of beige done right. Enjoy!
