Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige (7036): Undertones, LRV, & Best Uses
Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige is a light, warm, neutral beige paint color. And with beige being today’s hot color, you’d think it would be right up there in the ranks…and it is.
However, just because a color’s name gets thrown around a lot doesn’t mean it’s the best color for your home. Sure, it can look good on interior walls, especially in open-concept spaces or whole homes, as well as on trims and cabinets, but that doesn’t mean it’s YOUR best color.
As with any paint color, interior finishes, light bulbs, and exposure can directly affect how a color appears on a surface. This is why learning about a color and sampling it carefully is the best way to find your perfect shade.
So, without further ado, let’s find out if Accessible Beige is the hue for you…
WHAT TYPE OF COLOR IS SW ACCESSIBLE BEIGE?
Accessible Beige is a neutral beige paint color. With its unique blend of undertones and LRV (which we’ll hit shortly), it’s also one of the more popular beige paint colors on the market, beating top shades from its own line and Benjamin Moore’s, too.
However, beige has a bad rap thanks to the beige-on-beige-on-beige trends of the early 2000s.
Does Accessible Beige fall into that category of colors?
HECK NO—it’s not that kinda beige; instead, it’s bodacious, beautiful, and begging to be on your walls (and more…but we’ll get into that shortly).
When I have E-Design clients who like warm gray/greige paint colors, this one comes up quite often—even though it’s beige.
Why?
Well, if a client has a north-facing room, they sometimes find Accessible Beige grays out just enough to hit their comfort zone without falling cold and flat as some greige or gray paint colors can.
That said, Accessible Beige is rarely an ‘easy win’.
IS ACCESSIBLE BEIGE WARM OR COOL?
While Accessible Beige is a warm neutral paint color, it’s not nearly as warm as more traditional shades of beige. This bodes well if you have south-facing light, as rooms with that don’t necessarily need much more warmth.
However, if you’re looking for a somewhat timeless approach to temperature, Accessible Beige is a bit too cool.
CAN ACCESSIBLE BEIGE LOOK TOO GRAY?
It depends on your personal tastes and how it pairs with your finishes, but yes, sometimes Accessible Beige can look too gray. This doesn’t mean it IS a gray paint color – it’s not – but it can lean that way in some lighting situations.
In some lights, Accessible Beige can look more grayish, but one person’s ‘too gray’ is another’s ‘just perfect’!
If anything, Accessible Beige is likely to look a bit more greige-taupe than beige (greige and taupe are between gray and beige). To demonstrate that, look at how Accessible Beige compares to Benjamin Moore’s Revere Pewter (a warm gray-greige paint color)…
See how Accessible Beige is warmer but still picks up some gray? Keep in mind that while it can look grayish, it more often looks warmer.
99.5% of the photos in my blog are of REAL HOMES from my Online Color Consulting clients, readers, and friends. While not always magazine-perfect, they’re packed with ideas and proven color choices to help you create a home you’ll love.
As shown in the next image, Accessible Beige looks as cool as I’ve ever seen it. It also shows how much a color can change in one room depending on the light it receives…
THE UNDERTONES OF ACCESSIBLE BEIGE
When you look at Accessible Beige, you’re really looking at a beige with a gray base – a reasonably strong base, at that. A lot of the more old-school beige paint colors can flash quite yellow or orange—not this bad boy. Accessible Beige is softer, subtler, and neutral, leaning slightly toward the gray side.
If you aren’t really sure what undertones are, in Kylie M’s Color System, it’s a term that helps describe how a color may lean. Keep in mind that this will change in different lighting conditions.
CAN IT LOOK GREENISH OR PINKISH?
As for ‘other’ undertones, Accessible Beige can pick up a tiny wink of pink or green; it’s subtle (and not common), but if you have an aversion to either, sample it carefully and compare it to similar shades (which we’ll do shortly) to see which settles best with your finishes.
While it doesn’t ‘contain’ green, Accessible Beige can be encouraged that way in different lighting conditions and when paired with more orange-pink surfaces.
Why pink or green? Well, while its readings suggest that it favors pink (red), it’s SO MINOR that with just a touch of encouragement, it can look green. This is common with neutrals that don’t commit HARD to one undertone or another – they can flex!
What does ‘encouragement’ involve?
- The quality/color of the light coming in your windows, including any green grass/landscaping.
- The Kelvins and quality of your light bulbs, for sure.
- Comparison. For example, if you put it next to a finish that caters hard to pink, it can seem a bit greenish in comparison. It’s just not that committed.

My favorite light bulb Kelvins with Accessible Beige are around 3000K for the average room.

THE LRV & DEPTH OF ACCESSIBLE BEIGE
According to Sherwin Williams, Accessible Beige has an LRV of 58, so it’s not quite in my magical range, but it’s getting there.
Not sure what LRV is? You get three slaps with a wet noodle and should probably read this blog post—it might just save your paint-lovin’ life!
The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Paint Colors with LRV
This LRV means that Accessible Beige is a light paint color, but on the slightly lower end of the range – it’s not a ‘bright, fresh shade’. This means that even though it’s in the light range, it can fall flat in darker or low-light rooms due to its combo of depth and neutral look.
Colors need LIGHT to come to LIFE – especially neutrals like this.
On the other hand, if your room gets reasonable light, Accessible Beige is an awesome depth. The same goes if your room gets more light than average, but know it will wash out to a degree, as any color will.
WHERE ACCESSIBLE BEIGE DOES (& DOESN’T) WORK
Accessible Beige does well on a wide range of paintable surfaces (even your toenails, if you’re so inclined). Let’s shortlist the most popular ones along with a few duds, then get into more details after.
- It works just as well in single rooms as in open-concept spaces and even in whole homes.
- While it can be a gorgeous exterior paint color, make sure it coordinates with your roof, stone, brick, etc.
- Be careful in dark rooms, as Accessible Beige can look overly muddy or dingy without sufficient light.
- Accessible Beige is a great, light neutral cabinet color, but it will limit your wall color options.
- Rarely works with pink-toned woods, but can be fabulous with others.
- While it’s currently popular as a trim and interior door color, unless you have a Heritage home/committed Modern Farmhouse, this is a trend that will pass – unless you love repainting ALL YOUR TRIMS AND DOORS every few years (wooooof).
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty…
IS ACCESSIBLE BEIGE GOOD FOR KITCHEN CABINETS?
Accessible Beige is one of my favorite beige paint colors for painted kitchen cabinets. This said, beige cabinets generally don’t rank high on my list, as they’re only a trend – it’s just my fave of the OPTIONS available.
Here’s Accessible Beige compared to a sample of Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray…
The thing to watch for with Accessible Beige on cabinets is its depth. The lighter a color is, the harder it can be to find wall colors that go with it – your options are very…very limited.
Here it is looking RIDONKULOUSLY pretty on these painted cabinets…
IS ACCESSIBLE BEIGE A GOOD EXTERIOR PAINT COLOR?
That’s definitely a loaded question. It all comes down to the color preferences of your roof, stonework, brick, and even your driveway, which can call the shots! However, with its passive warmth and moderate depth, Accessible Beige has found its way onto many exteriors, including siding and trim.

As shown on the exterior of this next home, Accessible Beige looks great on the trim and garage door, as it coordinates with the brick…
Here it is compared to a few other popular neutrals. We’ll be looking more closely at a few of these shortly in the ‘Colors That Are Similar’ section…

DOES ACCESSIBLE BEIGE GO WITH CREAM CABINETS & TRIMS?
With the very rare exception based on lighting conditions and other surroundings, it’s a no from this color cowgirl.
But I bet you want to see that exception…
Here’s a bedroom with low natural light, Sherwin Williams Casa Blanca trim, and Accessible Beige walls…
Why does this work when most other situations don’t?
- The room is low-light, so Accessible Beige looks darker than it would in a well-lit space.
- The dark wood floor helps ground the rooms
- The trims are narrow, whereas big slabs of creamy cabinet doors or wide trims could overwhelm Accessible Beige a bit more.
Accessible Beige is too light and off-kilter to look good with the degree of yellow in cream cabinets and trims. I know you’re probably spinning your wheels trying to find a good combo—cream is tough. You might want to read this blog post about the best paint colors for cream cabinets and trims.
DOES ACCESSIBLE BEIGE GO WITH OAK WOOD CABINETS & WOOD TRIMS?
In the words of the Great Stone Cold Steve Austin (I was a teen in the 90s), CAN I GET A HELL YEAH?!! I mean, it’s not a one-size-fits-all situation, but if you have wood trims, cabinets, flooring, or furniture, Accessible Beige is a great color to start your sampling adventures with.
Before, this Tuscan-style entryway was heavy and murky with its yellow-green paint color…
After, see how Accessible Beige picks up a subtle gray cast (considering this area doesn’t get much natural light) without becoming greige or flattening out. It also looks beautiful with the wood trim…
Where you need to be cautious is with overly red-stained woods, as they don’t always love the muddy nature of Accessible Beige.

THE BEST WHITE TRIM/CABINET COLOR WITH ACCESSIBLE BEIGE
Accessible Beige is reasonably flexible towards a range of white paint colors, but it draws the line at overly creamy ones.
Here are the three best shades…
- Sherwin Williams Pure White, for a simple, classic look without too much shocking whiteness (unlike my pasty Ginger legs, which are shockingly white).
- Benjamin Moore White Dove, for a slightly more subtle warmth.
- Sherwin Williams Alabaster is about as warm as I would go.
Of the three, Alabaster is the tip of the iceberg; anything more yellow is TOO yellow for Accessible Beige.

WHAT COLORS ARE SIMILAR TO ACCESSIBLE BEIGE?
This is the fun part (wait, isn’t it all fun?) You never want to pick a paint color based on how it looks alone. COMPARE COMPARE COMPARE. Often, you end up with a totally different color than the one you thought you wanted!
ACCESSIBLE BEIGE COMPARED TO AGREEABLE GRAY
When it comes to popular warm neutrals from Sherwin Williams, these two are near the top of the list. However, they rarely vie for the same spot on your walls as they do different things.
Accessible Beige is a beige; Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray is a warm gray-greige-taupe (based on perception). Agreeable Gray is more ‘gray-centric’ than Accessible Beige’s ‘beige-centric’ look. Agreeable Gray is also a smidge lighter than Accessible Beige, with an LRV of 60.
Really, unless your finishes happen to accommodate both of these colors (which isn’t common), there should be a clear winner between the two.

ACCESSIBLE BEIGE COMPARED TO NATURAL TAN
With trends leaning warmer, it’s no surprise that colors like Accessible Beige and Sherwin Williams Natural Tan pop up on our Instagram feeds (follow me HERE!).
Accessible Beige left / Natural Tan right.
Natural Tan has an LRV of 65, so it’s a good chunk lighter than Accessible Beige’s 58—in fact, it’s smack-dab in my favorite place. If you have a darker room and worry that Accessible Beige is too dark, Natural Tan could be a good option to check out (even though it can struggle too, depending on conditions).
Color Review of Sherwin Williams Natural Tan
There are also shifts in undertones. While Natural Tan doesn’t grab a ton of green compared to Accessible Beige, it’s a wee wink more inclined this way. It’s also a bit more COLORFUL than Accessible Beige, meaning its warmth is more noticeable/less gray (but still quite passive compared to the usual bunch).
SHERWIN WILLIAMS ACCESSIBLE BEIGE COMPARED TO SHIITAKE
While Accessible Beige gets a lot of attention, something must be said for the comparable Shiitake.
Here’s your Peel & Stick sample of Shiitake…
Depth-wise, Accessible Beige’s LRV falls within the light range at 58, whereas Shiitake’s LRV is in the light-medium range at 51. This lower number means Shiitake is a light-medium depth paint color.
When you compare these with white trim or cabinets, you’ll see Shiitake offers a bit more contrast.
Where they’re most similar is in their approach to beige. Like Accessible Beige, Shiitake picks up a soft gray backdrop, which calms its color, at least compared to the usual bunch of popular warm beiges. Sure, it can pick up a TOUCH more pink than Accessible Beige, but neither shade is overly inclined.
DOES BENJAMIN MOORE HAVE A MATCH?
There are ALWAYS alternatives, but nothing exactly the same. And while getting Accessible Beige color matched into Benjamin Moore paint might be as close as you can get, know that it won’t be a 100% match (no matter what they tell you).
Instead, I’d rather you sample a few similar colors…
ACCESSIBLE BEIGE COMPARED TO EDGECOMB GRAY
I love comparing these two popular shades. Starting with LRV/depth, Accessible Beige sits at 58 (on the lower end of the light range), whereas Benjamin Moore’s Edgecomb Gray has an LRV of 63.09, making it the lighter option by a noticeable jump.
Where these two really hit each other head-on is in their general warmth, which is why they’re so fun to compare.
Of the two, Accessible Beige is warmer and more beige; Edgecomb Gray is a greige-taupe, so it sits that touch cooler than Accessible Beige, but not by a ton.
If you’re looking at Edgecomb Gray and worry it’s too cool, Accessible Beige can be a great alternative to sample. Likewise, if Accessible Beige comes up too warm/beige, Edgecomb Gray could be just the tweak you need!
By the way, of the two, Edgecomb Gray tends to be more flexible for a range of interior finishes, but don’t tell AB I said that.

WHAT COLORS GO WITH ACCESSIBLE BEIGE?
Tim can only wish I were as flexible as Accessible Beige. Oh, honey, if you only knew me 20 years ago—toes to nose, baby! Being neutral with minimal undertones, Accessible Beige is pretty darn accommodating.
While it depends on whether you need a coordinating color for an accent wall, cabinets, or adjoining room (or otherwise), here are some to check out…
- DARKER BEIGE PAINT COLORS: Darker beiges with similar undertone profiles can be great in adjoining rooms.
- GREIGE PAINT COLORS: Some greige paint colors are amazeballs with Accessible Beige, as long as they’re darker than it. In particular, I love medium to dark greiges as accent colors, islands, or feature doors.
- DARK BLUE-GRAY: Darker blues can work with Accessible Beige, but be careful that they aren’t too colorful – more muted blue hues (blue paint colors with a bit of gray) are better.
- EARTH-TONES: Light-medium or darker depth earth-toned paint colors can look wicked pretty.
- GREEN PAINT COLORS: Greens are some of my favorite partners to Accessible Beige; not just lighter shades, but darker greens, too.
- GREEN-GRAYS: I love it with light-medium to darker shades of green, especially those with a warm gray/beige base to calm them down. Check out colors like SW Cast Iron and Grizzle Gray—they’re great places to start.
- OFF-WHITES: It can handle some of the popular off-whites as long as they aren’t too yellow, and more so in adjoining rooms.
And much more!
PROS & CONS: A QUICK SUMMARY OF ACCESSIBLE BEIGE
- Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige is a light, warm beige paint color with a gray base.
- Its undertones are non-committal. If it flashes overly green or pink, it could be due to situational/environmental factors. If you have a finish that NEEDS one of these undertones, AB might not be the color for you.
- While it thrives in well-lit rooms, it can be a bit drab in dark rooms or hallways.
- It works best in spaces with reasonable (or more) natural lighting and coordinates with a wide range of wood stains.
- Its best use is on walls, both single rooms and whole homes. It’s also a great exterior color.
- It has a warm look, but not an overly ‘fresh’ one due to its LRV and the amount of gray/reduced chroma. This creates an organic, calming look in many spaces.

Wow, I feel like I hit the lottery when I stumbled on your blog! THANK YOU! I just painted my hallway Accessible Beige, recommended by a SW consultant, and I LOVE it! My kitchen is softened green with maple cabinets and believe it or not, this works! I plan to take the Accessible Beige upstairs and into the hallway. My bedrooms are SW Wool Skein, SW North Star, and PPG Toasted Almond (I know, it’s not quite in the family but my son’s bedroom.). Anyway, I am thinking of painting my bedroom Repose Gray. My bedroom can be seen from the hallway – shotgun entrance. Do you think Repose Gray will look okay against the Accessible Beige hallway? If not, can you recommend another grey color that would work?
Thanks much!
Sharon from Ohio
Oh I believe it girl, that’s a great combo! I’m a big Softened Green fan myself. And I have no problem with Repose Gray running off of Accessible (I mean, without seeing your home), just keep in mind that it’s a SUPER ninja. Generally, it’s a soft, slighlty warm gray that has a main (but vague) undertone of purple. However, i’ve seen it flash green and blue. I’ve written a blog post on it, if you haven’t seen it yet. https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/all-about-sherwin-williams-repose-gray/ And I don’t know what look you’re going for, but I’m a bit Agreeable Gray fan, which is more of a greige that leans into gray (and can sometimes look even gray-blue). https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/all-about-sherwin-williams-repose-gray/
And I’m so glad you found me, I love when comments start out that way!
I hope that helps!
I too am glad I found your blog. I hadn’t even thought about the lighting and the direction of the windows. I’m confused enough, oh my. We are painting a house for rent. I am leaning toward accessible beige. The house has tan tile, medium woods, and an orangy patterned tile in one bathroom. It has granite with different browns in the kitchen. My question is how does accessible beige go with swiss coffee trims and doors?
Hi I am also curious if accessible beige pairs well with swiss coffee? Want to paint cabinets accessible beige and house will be swiss coffee
It’s not bad, although I might darken Accessible Beige by 25% with it. I do prefer White Dove with Accessible Beige OR SW Pure White 🙂
Hi Kylie,
Does Accessible Beige work with honey oak kitchen cabinetry, bathroom vanities, fireplace mantle, handrail in stairway, and/or with honey maple antique bedroom furniture?
Sincerely,
Marcia
Just painted my kitchen AB and it’s almost perfect! Every greige paint I tried had a purple undertone or blue. AB didn’t do that! I am happy with the color, but I wish it was a little darker! It looks good when there isn’t any light, but near a window it was a little lighter. I’ve tried Sherwin Williams balanced beige and bungalow beige I even had them darker AB 25 percent more. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong I want it just a hint darker. I’m looking at all RGB that are close to AB. I might try York Gray from Ben Moore. I would love to hear suggestions though. AB is the perfect greige In the no lit rooms, but when light hits it, it looses some of its color.
Hi
What is the best trim color to use with accessible beige?
Laura
I like the looks of SW Alabaster, for a softer approach or SW Pure White for a cleaner touch 😉
How would AB work in a basement with a black ceiling and white crown and base. Not much natural light but loaded with can lights
Hi Joyce, I haven’t seen your space in photos, but it ‘sounds’ okay to me!
I just painted my family room AB (I’ve done one coat and it’s a south facing room). Against it I also just white washed my stone fireplace with SW Pure White which I’m planning on using for all my trim. So why is AB looking a bit PURPLE on my walls? I’m wondering if I will like agreeable gray better.
HI there-Did you ever find out the answer to this? I am definitely using Pure White and also whitewashing my fireplace with it…..but I am not so sure about Accessible beige.
I cannot thank you enough for your post and videos on paint color! My father asked for white paint in his home. After reading and watching several times I decided to go with Accessible Beige at 50% for the interior of my fathers home. It looks fantastic! Looks great with the wood floors and maple kitchen. Thank you!
Jennie, that is fantastic, thank you for letting me know – i LOVE getting feedback that my info has helped!
Eoukd Accessible grey go with light maple cabinets and a dark green countertop that has a blue undertone.
Help! Cabinets look pinkish! Used SW Simple White (by mistake????) with AB walls. Can not change cabinet color. Ceiling is SW Pure White. Countertops Nuevo Azul granite. What is causing pink undertones in cabinets? Not sure what color white the trim should be now? Should I change the AB walls?
Hi Joan! Ooo, there is a big difference between BM Simply White and SW Simple White. And it’s no surprise you’re seeing pink coming up as Simple White is a soft white/off-white with a purple/pink undertone to it. I do know that Accessible Beige WON’T be helping your situation and you’ll want to look at some neutrals that embrace more of the undertones that are in your cabinets. I would keep going with Pure White on the trim for simplicity and consistency, unless you’re okay with picking up a bit of the purple/pink on the trim as well. It’s a tough spot you’re in! If you want me to take some time to look at things, I do have an Edesign where I can pick out some wall colours for you once I see photos of your room/countertop/etc… 🙂

How does AB work with travertine ? I have a master bathroom full of Travertine and trying to freshen it up. Gets tons of light (eastern). Will the gray show too much for the yellow – peachy travertine tones?
Hi Kylie, I’m trying to find a whole home color and have swatches all over my walls. I’m wondering what you think of Accessible Beige with red oak floors?
Hi Kylie,
Thank you for your blog and videos – so helpful as a new homeowner repainting room by room (throughout the whole house the original trim was a dark taupe with pinkish-white walls ????).
Weve decided to repaint all the trim in the house in Pure White and went with Accessible Beige in the living room, which we love! Now working on a color choice for the adjoining dining room.
Would White Duck work as a complement to Accessible Beige? Or would Aesthic White or Creamy be better options?
Thank you for fun and informative posts!
Hi Laura, I much prefer the idea of Aesthetic White with Accessible Beige, they make sense together!
Thanks for this post! We are building and I just searched AB and shiitake from SW. north facing great room with lots of windows. Shiitake is too dark, I like the depth of AB but there seems to be a “wee Willy wink” (I stole that from you and use it often) of purple in it…am I imagining things? ????????♀️
Hey Kylie! Which Benjamin Moore colors in the light to medium range do you think would pair really well with Accessible Beige? I have a few bedrooms to paint in my house and the main area is all painted AB. I am struggling HARD to find a color that looks nice with AB and has a nice contrast.
Hi Kylie
I have the Honey oak cabinets . I have sage green roman shades that are like brand new . I am trying to update but cant spend a lot. Do you thing the accessible beige paint color will work with that ? Also I need to do a backsplash but have no Idea what to put up. My floor Is a off white and light beige color. I was thinking a tan color but thought it would be to dark.
Thanks
Hi Shelly, from the SOUNDS of it Accessible Beige could work just fine as long as it suits the countertop. If it feels off, you just might need a BIT more warmth :).
Thanks Kylie
I think I will try both , Maybe another Sherwin Wlliams ( relaxed kahki )
. I hate being stuck with the Green but the window treatment are in my kitchen and hallway /entry way. Just trying to find a way to make it all work!!
My counter tops are a tan formica with a very faint green. I might have to update those also.
Thanks for the help!
Looking to go with a beige paint from SW, north/south exposure the amin body of the main level, two story entry and upsatirs hallway. Woodwork is brazilian cherry. Currently dark taupe and need to lighten up.
I am thinking of painting my almost 12 year old son’s room SW Accessible Beige with a navy feature wall. Do you think that works? And would you recommend SW Naval or a different blue? Thanks!
I think that could be a GREAT choice. However, be careful with Naval as in some lights it can look pretty darned dark and you can lose the BEAUTY of it. Cyberspace isn’t as powerful/punchy, but has a slightly higher LRV and shows up a bit more :). I also LOVE BM Hale Navy!
Thanks, Kylie! I also love BM Hale Navy. If I went with that color for an accent wall, what BM color would be close to SW Accessible Beige? My son’s furniture is a mix of dark wood and also a navy blue desk from Pottery Barn Kids. Will use red accents throughout since it’ll be a sports themed bedroom. Thank you again!
Old thread here – but did you end up using AB and Hale Navy? We’re contemplating that pairing now.
Dear Kylie,
Your review of Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige was sooooo helpful! The before/after photos were especially useful as the “suffocatingly” warm dining room looks a lot like my current situation. Can’t wait to receive my AB Samplize and try that beautiful color in several areas of our bright, open home. I’m also digging Canvas Tan, after watching your GREAT YouTube piece on that one! Thank you – I wanted to let you know how much you have helped me!!
New Fan,
Christine
CHRISTINE, what a nice comment to get – THANK you for letting me know :).
Hi! My friend and I were having lunch today and I was telling her about my paint selection struggles and she told me that I had to watch your videos! I told her that I have been watching them all week!! Thank you for your insight on color-truly helpful! I am in a quandary of color! Painted my south facing dining room SW Light french grey. It looks great (lots of natural light). But the north side of my house (entryway/living room, upstairs and hallway) cannot be light french gray. Too chilly and too blue in my opinion. Looking for a color to seque into that room. after watching/reading your info I am leaning accessible beige for my north facing living room (which has 6 windows so not totally dark) . Any advice ???? been driving myself mad.
Ahhhhh, I just LOVE to hear this! And I can TOTALLY see how LFG could be too cool for northern spaces. Now, I don’t love nor hate LFG with AB, but AB does feel a bit ‘dirty’ compared to it, you know? When I put them together, LFG looks much more violet, just in comparison. Have you looked at SW White Duck? It’s lighter than AB and more of a hybrid, but it does flow a bit nicer. I’m also eyeing up SW Natural Tan, but still, lean into White Duck. Of course, you can check out the videos on those. Just make sure they suit your interior finishes! It’s MOST important that they suit your interior finishes FIRST and LFG second :).
