I couldn't take it anymore! Originally, I thought I'd wait until the kids went back to school before I started painting, but the wheat color surrounding us was beginning to feel suffocating. I showed you my top 3 neutral paint picks
here. Any guesses which one I decided on?...
I color matched
Benjamin Moore's Natural Cream (OC-14) with
Behr's Premium Plus Ultra. I'm all about going the easy route and Behr's paint has the primer mixed in so you're only painting one coat instead of multiple coats. Love that!
I'm really pleased with how much brighter the rooms feel. This color definitely reads light gray instead of cream in my opinion. In fact, I don't see cream at all.
So here's the dirt on these colors...
Seashell has a slight yellow undertone. Beautiful, but I'm not a yellow person.
Swiss Coffee is great and if I had all the mid-century modern furniture I wish I had the budget for, I would have gone this route. It's very light and looks white. Since I live in reality and have to work with my existing furnishings,
Natural Cream was the winner. It provides just enough contrast against my white trim and doesn't scare me when it comes to having kids
running into gently brushing against it.
