Although many of today's homeowners are opting to paint their walls in trendy shades of grey, there are still those of us who love the natural warmth of a beautiful beige.

After receiving such a positive response to my original post: Benjamin Moore's Best Beige Paint Colours, I decided to share a few more of my favorite BM beiges.

Each with their own unique undertone, these light to mid-toned beige paint colours create a soft and inviting backdrop for both modern and traditional design styles.

Did you spot a shade of beige that you think would be the perfect colour for your own home?

Benjamin Moore's Best Beige Paint Colours

Benjamin Moore HC-79 Greenbrier Beige ~ Jane Lockhart interior Design

I love the warmth and beauty that beige brings to a design scheme.  The perfect beige creates an inviting glow in a room.  When chosen wisely, beige is anything but boring!

Here are just a few of my favorite beige paint colours from Benjamin Moore with green or red undertones:

Greenbrier Beige is a mid-toned neutral with a subtle green undertone.  It looks amazing with dark floors and white trim.

..........



Shaker Beige is another mid-toned neutral.  It has an equal balance of grey, green and red undertones, and reads like a "true" beige.  Shaker Beige is a BM favorite.

..........



Grant Beige is a grey based beige with a slight green undertone.  This colour appears much warmer in a south facing room or under incandescent lighting.

..........



Clay Beige is a light-toned neutral with green and red undertones.  It looks beautiful with browns and blues.

..........



Muslin is a luminous, grey-based beige with red undertones.  It looks lovely in a room with cherry or mahogany wood and silver accents.

..........

It's important to consider what colours already exist in your furnishings and flooring when choosing a neutral paint colour.  Lighting can also influence how the colour will look in your room.

If you want to create a soft and sophisticated atmosphere, these tried and true BM paint colours are a great place to start!

PS ~ Sorry for the looooong absence, and a big THANK YOU to all of my wonderful readers who've been checking in on me! It's great to be back!
