It has a green-grey undertone so it is very neutral overall. It has no orange or pink undertone in it so if you are sensitive to seeing these colours in beige, stick to this colour. This is a colour that many of my clients love. An all-round good choice for the family room, basement, foyer or even bedroom. It looks excellent with dark wood floors and white trim. It is an excellent warm neutral with enough chroma to it, to feel as though you have applied paint to the wall but it’s not so heavy as to make a room feel dark. This is an excellent warm beige with a very slight yellow/orange undertone.

It has no pinky tone so it really does mix with today’s decor exceptionally well. It is also excellent with medium to dark woods as well. Add black and charcoal to this scheme and it completely gives plain light maple a newer, fresher feel. This hue gives the wood a cooler surround which makes it look more sophisticated.
#UTTERLY BEIGE UPDATE#
This colour looks great with light maple wood or blond wood when you want to update the colours around it. This is absolutely the best transitional colour from a warm beige to a taupe, or a more grey-toned beige (this is essentially what taupe means). After 20 years in interior design, I have made a personal list of colours that always work and these are five of my favorites. So here is a selection of beiges that always do well for me, and which no client ever complains about when applied to their walls. The nature of beige has changed over the last few years as it’s become lighter and slightly more grey in tone but a warm beige will always be tops on my list of go-to colours. Often maligned as boring or dull, it certainly still is one of those colours people find they can live with long-term… and who wants to paint constantly? Although a lot of paint colours come and go, nothing has remained as popular as beige.
