I just painted 2 walls in my family room with what I thought was a neutral creamy color but it is reading way too lemony yellow for my taste.
Can you share your favorite neutral paint color? I'm open to a variety of tones and colors - I just need to narrow down the field somewhat. Thanks! |

| Linen by Restoration Hardware, but color matched by Benjamin Moore. RH paint is terrible, but the colors are good. |

just out of curiosity - do you think Ben Moore has the RH Linen formula in their system or would I need to give them the paint chip sample to match? |

A thought:
When we built our current house, three rooms of the first floor and the second floor all have carpet in a off-white grey. We took the carpet sample to the SW and had them mix a paint based on scanning that color. We had them lighten it a shade and we painted a poster board with it and moved it around the first floor. It worked great with the carpets and the ceramic tile that we have in the hallways, kitchen, bathroom. So we painted the first floor and second floor hallways with this. We like how it complements the carpet but being a shade off brightens the room and adds depth where it contrasts with the carpet. So the carpet is slightly darker, the walls are medium and we have white on the ceiling and this helps "lift" the ceiling and accent the light coming in from the windows (and we have a lot of windows). It works great for our space. |

Interesting - why did you use carpet? |

When we did it, they didn't have it in their system but they might now. I had to get a chip from RH and take it there to be color matched. |
