Need help choosing paint color
Need your help ladies! Here's a pic of our LR and newly stained floors. We are having such a hard time deciding on a paint color!! Some of the options are (BM colors):
Pismo Dune
Bleeker Beige
Shaker Beige
Grege Avenue
We love Pismo Dune but are worried about it being too dark (our couches are brown). We will also need a complementary color for the foyer which is visible from the LR.
We're open to other suggestions than the colors I listed above. Thanks!

Re: Need help choosing paint color
Two of my favorites are smokey taupe and
monroe bisque. I would do a lighter color on the walls since your floors are on the darker side and you have a dark couch.

Re: Need help choosing paint color
I remember those names! I had quite a few of those samples on my walls when we redid the living room last year. I think the Shaker one was way too yellowish for my tastes. It almost looked fluorescent. It depends on the light the room gets, too.
We went with Lenox Tan and it really was perfect. It goes with everything! We have a taupe couch and I was worried that it would be too similar, but it's not at all.

Re: Need help choosing paint color
I have the same floor color and used Quincy Tan. Love it! Our contractor (who had nothing to do with the painting) even asked me what color it was and wrote it down so he could remember it.

Re: Need help choosing paint color
I actually love lenox tan. I did a room once in bleeker beige and didn't really care for it on the wall. I have lenox tan in my bedroom and plan to use that and shaker beige (the lighter color on the strip).

Re: Need help choosing paint color
I have Shaker Beige in about half of my 1st floor, the other half being Nantucket Grey. I think those 2 colors compliment each other very well and go with alot!

Re: Need help choosing paint color
We used shaker beige for the whole lower level of our home and it came out great! We have bright white trim around and dark brown carpeting.
