Beige Rage
For a very long time, I've been averse to beige in all its ever so slightly different incarnations. However, after about a decade of cool tones finally having their moment to shine, the average homeowner, DIYer, and space enthusiast are looking for the muted warm tones that beige offers.I've finally come around to genuinely enjoying it when paired with black – I know, truly shocking, right? It's this darker, more mysterious twist on Bohemian style that I just can’t seem to shake or get away from! The soft beige throws introduce a warm, subtle freshness that beautifully balances my otherwise brooding and deeply moody dark tones, adding a gentle yet inviting contrast that breathes life into the space without overpowering its mysterious allure.
I thought it would be fun and quite interesting to compile a few beautiful beige colors that share the same names from the renowned brands Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams.
Latte
While Ben’s “Latte” embodies a creamy, fresh, and delicate light beige, Will’s version presents a richer, warmer, and more authentic true beige—perfectly capturing the essence of this inviting and cozy name.
Sand Dune
Ben’s “Sand Dune” is a bright, fresh, and inviting yellow undertone option that instantly uplifts any space with its warm and sunny character. On the other hand, Will’s choice introduces a subtle, sophisticated twist, showcasing an almost taupe side of beige that adds depth and a quiet elegance to the room.
French Vanilla
A classic warm tone like “French Vanilla” from Ben is a timeless choice that will never go wrong. On the other hand, Will’s offers a cooler, lighter, and more modern take on Vanilla, perfect for those seeking a fresh, contemporary vibe.
