| my fave neutral color would be a warm beige. |
|
| BM Bone White is one of my favorite neutral paint colors which is a warm light beige that seems to pick up colors around it. |
|
| A color from Ellen Kennon called Powdered Pebbles. It goes with everything, brings some color to the wall without feeling heavy, works across the spectrum of different lighting situations. Also her Mushroom for a lighter option. |

| ooooh you wanted some paint color names? I thought you just wanted to know which color was favored. sorry. BM Powell Buff or Hepplewhite Ivory. Very neutral, but still warm tans that looks good with all colors. Like khaki pants can be worn with any shirt. I prefer warmer colors over cool ones. |

| Yes, I love that you are putting the names of your favorite colors. This is huge help for me to narrow down my choices. Thanks! Any more suggestions? |

| Here are some names for you. All Benjamin Moore- "Featherbed" BM928 is a soft creamy yellow-it was the main color in our last two homes. I'm trying to find something different just for the sake of difference but I keep coming back to it. "Crisp Khaki" BM234 is a nice neutral midtone tan and a very good substitution for the Restoration Hardware color "Latte". "Standish White" HC-32 is a light beige that doesn't lean toward either pink or green, which is a common problem with neutrals. The first handful of strips in the BM "Historical" Pallette has a bunch of very nice neutrals. Sherwin Williams "Kilim Beige" is one of their best selling neutrals and a top choice for new home builders in my area. |

| I have Cochise frm Dunn Edwards. Love the color; very warm neutral color (tan) no weird undertones. I have it painted for all my rooms downstairs. For the MB, I absolutely recommend Camouflage (Benjamin Moore). Very soothing green/gray color. |
