Benjamin Moore Beige Color Options for Your Home
When many homeowners want to paint their interiors, they look for a neutral tone to act as a base for their furnishings and art. While white and gray are excellent color choices for some homeowners, paint offers a broad spectrum of shades, from soft, sandy tones to rich, deeper taupe hues.
Beige shades are great neutral alternatives, versatile and complementary to virtually any home decor without overpowering it. This color style of interior paint and exterior paint became popular for its flexible backdrop that allowed homeowners to style and re-style their rooms without changing the paint color. Beige shades have since continued to gain popularity over the decades for their ability to create a welcoming environment for both the traditional and modern home.
At The Color Store, we have so many Benjamin Moore beige paint color options that you may wonder where to start! Your first consideration is whether to go with cool or warm undertones. Then, you'll need to consider lighting, depth, and finish. Let's discuss the details:
An Alluring Cool Beige Hue for the Modern Home
Cool beige undertones have a bit of gray, blue, or green to create a calming and airy feel. For example, cool beige tones would look stunning in a modern farmhouse that has plenty of natural light. Cool shades offer a subtle depth that takes on a lighter tone in brighter spaces.
Benjamin Moore has beautiful cool beige colors, including Shoreline 1471. This pale beige with gray undertones brings a fresh, coastal vibe to a room, making it perfect for homeowners aiming for a tranquil atmosphere without an overly stark appearance. White trim and neutral furnishings, such as classic linen sofas, complement this color perfectly. Add some coastal accents, such as light blue throw pillows that feature anchors or seashells to complete the room.
A Backdrop of Cozy Warm Beige for the Traditional Interior
Warm beige undertones feature subtle yellow, red, or orange hues, making these beige colors the coziest ones. Warm beiges look beautiful in traditional homes. For instance, a warm beige works beautifully in a rustic-style kitchen. Picture this color exuding a gentle warmth throughout a kitchen featuring open shelving lined with pottery and woven baskets.
For example, Monroe Bisque HC-26 is a creamy beige with hints of yellow that elude a golden glow in the room. The warmness of its glow wraps the entire room and those in it in a comforting sense of peace. Further, the reddish-brown hues of copper accents, such as handles and fixtures on the beige wall backdrop, tie the rustic look together.
Further Tips for Choosing Your Perfect Benjamin Moore Beige
After you've chosen whether you want to go with cool or warm undertones, there are a few more considerations to mull over while shopping for your perfect beige option:
1. Consider the room's lighting: Will the room be primarily lit with natural or artificial lighting?
- Pro Tip: Since many rooms utilize a combination of lamps and the sunlight streaming in, you should test samples during various parts of the day to gain a complete perspective of your lighting situation.
2. Choose the best depth: Do you want to open the room with light paint or create a cozy feel with a darker shade?
3. Test Different Finishes: Would you prefer a smooth, matte finish, or would you rather have a subtle sheen?
