For over a year, a rumor has been going around that the color beige is coming back in style. But I wonder if it has ever completely gone out of style?

Popular Behr Beige Paint Colors

So what do you think has shifted the decor from cool to warm tones? In recent years, farmhouse decor and matte finish cool colored paints were the trend. Then last year, Cottagecore decor came onto the stage with its cozy maximalist designs and moody tones. I personally think warm paint color palette was re-birthed from Cottagecore, as well as other designs.

You can see how it looks with these dreamy Cottagecore bedroom ideas.

But warm colors have never left us, all the farmhouse decor just played them down, white painted shiplap walls and so on, and since they are back as a great option, here are the top colors to make selecting your paint color much easier.

• Blank Canvas
• Swiss Coffee
• Antique white
• Off white
• Navajo White
• Linen white
• Cottage white
• Spanish sand
• Even Better Beige
• Aged Beige
• Sentimental Beige

Because Behr paint has been a more recent favorite paint brand choice, I have only used it several times so in this post, I will be sharing one of the colors I have used in my home and then cross reference some Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore colors that look similar to these Behr beige colors.

I hope you love these beige neutral colors. Let's find your new perfect color!

Project Tips:

• LRV – You'll read the term LRV throughout the post. It stands for Light Reflectance Value. The highest LRV is 100. The higher the number, the more light will reflect from the color. A high LRV is a highly reflective white and is great for a small room or a room that you want to be bright and sunny. You can learn more about understanding LRV in paint in this post.
• RGB – RGB is the amount of red, blue, and green in each color. The colors with higher red levels will have warm tones, and a higher blue will be a cooler white.
• Paint Delivery: Did you know you can select your BEHR® Paint online and have it shipped to your door? If you plan ahead, this will save you so much time because your paint will arrive in the mail. Consider purchasing other supplies like paintbrushes and trays at the same time.
• Curbside Pickup: Add the paint to your Home Depot cart on the app when you decide on your paint color. Order the paint on the app for car delivery at the store. You will save yourself so much time and frustration from waiting in line at the paint counter. (Order a day or two in advance. Because of staff shortages, sometimes it takes a couple of days to get notified that your order is ready.)
• Trim Paint Colors: When picking paint for your whole house, I recommend you pick the same trim color throughout your whole house. It is a great way to keep your home's appearance consistent and make your life easier.

Blank Canvas by Behr

Let's start with looking at the white colors with a warm undertone.

This photo is a little darker than the color appears in person, but Blank Canvas is one of my new favorite creamy white colors, and it was Behr Paint's color of the year. With an LRV of 84, it has a color balance of  R 241 G 237 B 225 giving it a creamy undertone, this is a gorgeous light color with a warm neutral undertone. Anything above 90 is pretty bright, making this white a nice calming warm white. You can see how I used it when I turned my closet into a pantry.

Blank Canvas is a popular color for a reason. This is a great paint color for interior walls, trim, ceiling, furniture – just about everywhere!

Behr Swiss Coffee

Swiss coffee by Behr is so similar to Blank Canvas that you probably cannot tell when they are painted side by side. I love this color also, and it is very similar to Alabaster by Sherwin Williams, which I used in my niece's home.

Because this paint color is another warm white, we used it in her guest bathroom. Look how lovely it turned out. This is a great paint color for walls, trim, ceiling, floors, and more. It even works great as an exterior paint.

The LRV, light reflective value on this color is also 84, making it a nice warm color but still bright enough to look great in small spaces and nicely reflect natural light. It has a color balance of R 241 G 237 B 224. If you want a white color with a beige undertone, this is your color but if you want a more beige-beige color, then keep reading because I have some beautiful ones to share.

Swiss Coffee is great for walls, trim, doors, furniture, accent walls, cabinets, ceilings, and exterior.

Behr Antique White

Antique white has a little more color and shows an even warmer white look. It is a beautiful warm neutral paint color. It is similar to Benjamin Moore Bone White, and here is an example in my living room.

I love this color because it gives just a hint of contrast up again a white white color like ultra pure white by Behr. The LRV is 73, so it's a nice warm shade. The color balance is R 232 G 221 B 202. With the higher red balance, it's a warm and cozy color.

Great places to use this color are walls, trim, doors, cabinets, exterior, and furniture.

Off White by Behr

Off white is similar to antique white by Behr but ever so slightly darker. I have a paint color in my hallway that looks very similar to off white so you can get an idea of what it will look like in your home.

Off White has a LRV of 76, so it's a little brighter than Antique White.  With a color balance of R 231 G 226 B 210, it's heavier on the reds and greens, so it has a warm undertone.

The best places to use this color are walls, doors, cabinets, exterior, and furniture.

Even Better Beige is so similar to Accessible Beige by Sherwin Williams, and if you know anything about Sherwin Williams paint, then you know this is one of their top colors.

If you use this on a ceiling, keep in mind it will make the ceiling feel lower. So if, for example, you have very high ceilings in your dining room and want to make the room feel cozier, Aged Beige is a perfect choice.

Sentimental Beige

Sentimental Beige is more of a greige color, which means it has grey and beige put together. It has an LRV of 69, so it's a nice warm color with a deeper look that isn't too dark but not too white. If you'd like to learn more about greige, check out this post.
