Re: Manchester Tan vs Shaker Beige

I like the Manchester Tan. We chose Yosemite Sand, which I *think* is closer to that color.

Funny...we went through the same confusion - beige is/was harder for us to chose than any other color. There's such slight variations - like a pinkish hue, or more green, etc.

Oddly enough we told the guy we wanted one color (the darker of the two we chose) and he made the lighter. I figured it was meant to be...it turned out it was.Chat Icon

I liked both of those colors as well.

We went with Shabby Chic for our living room and hallway.

Here is a pic....

Ok, here it is. It may be lighter than what you're looking for, but it ended up working out perfect our our LR/DR since it's on the small-ish side....

Re: Manchester Tan vs Shaker Beige

we painted our living room shaker beige and I LOOOOVE it, it is a great color you can really do everything with.

We did manchester tan in our bedroom--well only one wall so far, not a big fan, a little too much mustard-y for me (if that makes sense)
we will repaint something either closer to or even the same as shaker beige...

Re: Manchester Tan vs Shaker Beige

Thank you everyone! And thank you for the picturesChat Icon .

The Yosemite sand is pretty but a little too light (although I'm sure DH would like it).

I like the SB a lot and I'm glad you all said it isn't too dark!

Laura, it's funny, I put both colors on the BM website (which I'm addicted toChat Icon ) and the Bleeker and SB are almost identical!

Thanks again girls....I'll have LOTS more paint questions sooooooonChat Icon

I like Manchester Tan, and we may use it in the Dining Room. For the living room, DH felt it was too dark, so we are going with something very light called Windsor Cream. It's more of a creamy color with a touch of yellow, so nothing like what you want. Sorry, no pics yet since DH is painting today.

I'd rather err on the side of too light than too dark, especially if the room isn't very large or doesn't get a huge amount of light, but I'm not sure what your space looks like.

Re: Manchester Tan vs Shaker Beige

our apartment has the same wall color as Lorich's pictures... a dark cream color... initially, my impression was Chat Icon (I would have preferred a very light grey), but it actually has grown on me quite a bit. It acts like a warm white in a way. The white moulding and doors really 'pop' against that light beige, and it's an inviting color.
