I did Edgecomb Gray at 75% strength (i.e., lighten by 25%) and that was a winner for me. A very light warm cream IMHO with a very slight green undertone.
I second the person who mentioned Pale Oak....its was recommended to me by a paid color consultant for our open space house and I love it. When we were painting it with no furniture around it had lavendar undertone to it, but that disappeared once real life stuff was around (furniture, art, etc).

We used Edgecomb grey with simply white trim in a bedroom with lots of natural light. It didn't look blue at all, more of a sophisticated greyish-tan. It's a good living area color too.

We ended up with Pale Oak in our north-ish facing bedroom (which gets direct early morning light) and couldn't be happier. It feels lighter on the walls than it looked on the strip.

I find Revere Pewter to be a nice warm greige. I used it in my office.

OP here, thanks everyone! I will check out some of the other options especially Balboa Mist. I know I'm weird but I don't like white walls, to me they are colder than gray, unless it is an off white of some kind
For those who have used a creamier color, do you have any specific suggestions?

I posted on another paint thread about BM Balboa Mist. You should consider getting a sample of it. It is a very light greige and looks so pretty and cheerful in our house especially in natural light. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would and ended up having several rooms painted that color.

I have Edgecomb in one large room downstairs and Edgecomb lightened by 25% for one room upstairs. Neither looks blue or even that grey- they both feel pretty warm

OP are you OK being surrounded by cold tones? I have tried clod toned gray colors twice because they look attractive but after a few days -just hate it. Everything feels so dreary-like a cloudy day or an office with gray cubicles.
I prefer warmer creams with with white trim.

Edgecomb - I've used in two houses, and it doesn't look gray/blue at all - frankly, it's almost more beige than gray. But white is now the hot color. Now I want to repaint everything.

I can't comment on Edgecome Gray, but Manchester Tan seems to have a lot of yellow. I have a guest bedroom in Man Tan and want to change it.

^^ That's how I feel! Edgecombe Gray also looks very blue on the largest wall in the area where I had planned to use it. I'm following for ideas.

I am looking for a light neutral for the open areas of my house: LR, DR, halls and foyer. Initially I was going to go with Edgecombe since it is apparently more up to date. I have samples of both colors painted on those 'small walls" you can buy and have moved them around the room at different times of the day. I am concerned about the Edgecombe looking blue or gray at times, and about the Manchester Tan looking too yellow!
Any opinions or experiences with these two colors greatly appreciated!
