Names of good beiges and browns (benjamin moore only please)

DH and I close tomorrow (Chat Icon Chat Icon) and are going for our paint on Friday. We're trying to decide on a neutral beige or brown to put in the entryway and foyer. It will also go in the 2nd bedroom just for convenience since eventually we'll have to do it over (Chat Icon).

Anyway, if you have pics that's great but even just color names of some good ones would be helpful. We both liked Huntington Beige last night but I looked at it again this morning and now I'm not so sure Chat Icon


ETS: I just found another that I like. Anyone have any experience with Berkshire Beige?

Good luck tomorrow!Chat Icon Chat Icon

We used BM Bar Harbor Beige in our LR and Brandy Cream on our hall, stairs and landing. We used a combo of the two in our DR. They were both on the same strip of chips from BM, Brandy Cream was the lighest and Bar Harbor Beige was in the middle.

You can see an example of them in this photo.

I love Stonehouse and it comes in the sample size so you can even buy a little one to try before you buy. The Sample sizes are great.

Congrats & Good Luck! Chat Icon Chat Icon

We used Navajo White in eggshell finish -- it is more cream than white. I love it and everyone comments on how nice it looks.

In our old co-op, we used BM Stone Hearth in our LR, DR and hallways.

In our new house, we used BM Chocolate Mousse in our BR (which you can't see so great because there was so much light in the room...I have some new pics at home)

BM Pismo Dunes in our Bathroom

And I can't remember this one, but it's lighter than all the others

Good luck!!

We used Whispering Woods for our bathroom. I like the color - though it seems maybe it was a little rich for our bathroom b/c there isn't much light in there. Sorry, I don't have any pics.

We used Coastal Dunes (I think also called Bradstreet Beige) and I LOVE it. It's so warm but not too dark. We also used Honeyed Almond and Antique white in the bedrooms.

I don't have a picture at the moment but we just painted our living room, dining room and hallways with "Lenox Tan" by Benjamin Moore...it's a beautiful beige/tan color.

You should definitely play around on their site and check out all the different color beige and browns.

We used BM Adobe Beige in our Living Room.

Hope you can see in this pic... the base mouldings weren't done yet so it's hard to see the contrast.
