I favor colors that are 'rich'...rather than what I consider to be washed out. My choice of Sherwin Williams "Downing Sand" pleases me greatly. It is soothing, easy on the eyes, and creates a good backdrop for my furnishings. Knowing that I did not want a pink beige, or one too brown and without character, I made my choice. I had no idea there was a geen undertone, until one night between dusk and darkness, with a few lights on the green revealed itself. I did a double take. Depending on the light, some areas showed the undertone, and some did not. I decided that I would still choose this color, and have no regrets.
So glad this is back. I have a tuscan style home with the cherry cabinets and dark warm granite countertops, lol. Was in the process of choosing colors for the kitchen cabinets. Decided to leave them (domt have the means to get it professionally done) and thinking about just painting the island in urbane bronze. I'm testing it out today, and it's looking pretty awesome. I feel like these trends are saving my life! 😂
I'm actually going to do a video soon on updating kitchens with granite without renovating. Darker colors work really well to almost "hide" the granite. Urbane bronze would be pretty, darker blues are also really nice, too!
I have off white furniture and Tuscan Tan by Benjamin Moore. I want to redocorate and add yellow blue and grey decor. What would be the best color to paint? I hate Grey paint so that won't be an option. Thank you

Thank you for your c-a-l-m presentation style . Choosing color is STRESSFUL. My dilemma-Very small house and rooms with HUGE windows. Antique furniture; lots of tan; honey colored oak floors. Need to move-on from “baby poop” color of 2011, though I have loved the softness on the eyes. I hear cream and beige are in. They are beautifully classic , but quite bright in my house. 😔 Considering : SW Agreeable Gray( though I’m late to the greige trend and gray doesn’t truly speak to me. It leans gray in the bright rooms. SW Divine White. I love this soft peaceful color though 70 lrv seems bright. BM Pale Oak. Squeezed between SW Agreeable Gray and SW Divine White. Thoughts?

I've been struggling for ages trying to find the right paint for my open concept room (kitchen, living & dining room). The most permanent is my natural cherry kitchen cabinets (slightly darkening) and dark walnut furniture pieces. I'm not a fan of pink tones (as I have other blue green tones in bathrooms rooms). What warm neutral options do you think would look best for this open concepts. I'm about to pull my hair out! Btw...your video on how the steps to picking paint was very helpful and refreshing! Thk u!
Thank you! Neutrals with green undertones are the easiest to work with, but they don't work in every situation (check out my video on neutral paint colors). You might benefit from a color analysis so I can see your space and recommend some colors that work: homelikeyoumeanit.com/hire-me/
Do you have a video that addresses concrete floors? We are deciding on paint colors this weekend and have been testing SW paints. I was set on Natural Linen, but after sampling, it looks super pinky grey in our space. It is a Barndominnium with SUPER tall ceilings. I love the Off whites/Creams since I think they will warm the space up. I also plan on painting the walls/ceilings, trim and kitchen cabinets the same color with a wood Island. The concrete floors are throughout the whole space. What undertones or paint options should I be looking at? I am slowly working my way through your videos but thought I would ask. :)
@@JohnGiannattasio without seeing your space, I'd recommend some of my favorite Griege colors with green undertones for you to try out as a starting point: SW Pearly White and SW Oyster White.

So hard to recommend a color without seeing the space. I would take a look at this video: How to choose a neutral color, plus the best neutral paint colors ruclips.net/video/fHdhbbaoCBY/видео.html, order some neutrals from different undertone families and see which relates best.

I think you actually need to look to grays with green undertones for this situation, not beige paint colors. Try BM Edgecomb Gray or if you want something lighter, try BM Classic Gray.
Please help 🙏🏻 looking for a neutral beige color paint to go with new family room sofa light grey. The space is not super large. The flooring: Hardwood floor original color (home built in 1951). Thank you 🙏🏻🥰
Hi! With this scenario, it would be best for me to see your space and the type (undertone)of grey couch that you have. I do offer paint consults if you are interested: homelikeyoumeanit.com/hire-me/
Hello, would one of the green undertone beiges work well in a home that has a dark room with a taupe carpet? The rest of the house has orangish wood floors and more natural light. It's a split level and since the middle level opens up to the lower level, I'm trying to use one paint color. We'll be moving in a few years so I'd like to freshen up the walls with a neutral paint color. Thank you!
I have the 90s honey oak cabinets and pine flooring. I want to get away from the yellow orange undertones so the cabinets will blend in. Do you have a suggestion? Thank you for the info and for the videos.
Before you ask yourself this, you must determine which beige you're dealing with! Pink beige? Green beige? Orange Beige? Yellow beige?? once you nail that down, go back and select a color I listed in that category to test.
I'm not sure if this is the same as SW Natural Linen? I was so excited to use this but decided to test it out and it was a dark pink/grey in our space. So still on the hunt to find the perfect color, so bummed it didn't work!
Every neural pulls undertones; it’s a matter of finding ones that work best for the your space. All off-whites will pull yellow, but some pull more greige to tone them down. Beiges either pull orange, pink, yellow or green. You likely want green beiges, as they are the most neutral. Happy to help if you need more direction, and you can check out my virtual color consulting services in the link in the video description. ☺️
Seems that your main requirement in paint is light and airy. Some people enjoy the aesthetic of a color that has a bit more depth, especially if one has a lot of white trim and cabinets. You really need to broaden your perspective
Thanks for watching, and what a nice comment! I typically give many "light and airy" colors because overwhelmingly that's what most people want right now. Of course, I can't please everyone in one video so I try to suggest what most people are looking for.

Hey there! You need grays with green undertones for this! Look at edgecomb gray, gray mist, accessible beige just to name a few.
@@homelikeyoumeanit well shoot! We already bought the paint and went with Dover white! 👀
What beige do you recommend to tie in a tile floor that has grey undertones. The space does not have a lot of light either.
I think I would look to a greige here. Can you tell what type of undertone the gray floor has? Blue, green or purple?
@@homelikeyoumeanit green undertone

I'd try a taupe if the carpet is the most prominent thing in the room. Check out my video on taupes: ruclips.net/video/qL82d9UgCKo/видео.html
@@homelikeyoumeanit Thank you for responding to my question. I watched the Taupe video and it was helpful. I think I've finally made up my mind! haha
I have the 90s honey oak cabinets and pine flooring. I want to get away from the yellow orange undertones so the cabinets will blend in. Do you have a suggestion? Thank you for the info and for the videos.
I'd sample first SW casa blanca and see what it does for your space. If you don't like that, try SW Shoji White or Neutral Ground.
Which of these is best with a warm black, eg Black Satin?
I tend to think black is a neutral, but I'd likely go with a beige with a green undertone.
What wall color will go well with beige bed headboard?

@@homelikeyoumeanit Thank you for replying back!
Bed is more like natural ivory.
Do you have any thoughts on SW Neutral Linen? Thank you.
Yes! This color is technically a taupe and has pink undertones. Make sure your fabrics and countertops, etc work well with the taupe or it will clash.
I'm not sure if this is the same as SW Natural Linen? I was so excited to use this but decided to test it out and it was a dark pink/grey in our space. So still on the hunt to find the perfect color, so bummed it didn't work!
Thoughts on SW moderate white?
Love it. It’s a very pale beige/cream with an orange undertone.
I am so stressed. I am struggling to find a light beige or off white. every color is pulling yellow.
Every neural pulls undertones; it’s a matter of finding ones that work best for the your space. All off-whites will pull yellow, but some pull more greige to tone them down.

Beige wasn't trending until the 2000s. The 90s were mauves, maroons, peaches, & cornflower blue. And LOTS of sponge painting!
Late 90’s beige came on the scene, that’s how it became popular in the 2000’s.
Why does everyone always recommend Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams? What about Behr?
What color of white is on your walls? It’s perfect
Benjamin Moore White Dove!
I was thinking the same!!! I didn’t listen to anything because i was staring at the wall 😩😂
Tired of beige, tired of grey so I am going with white and Sea Salt aqua-grey in places
