Stone House is alllll beige with its beautiful warm undertones (which we’ll get into below), and being a beige, this makes it a WARM paint color. If you have north-facing light, morning western or afternoon eastern light, Stone House can help balance that cool flat light out with its pretty warmth.
However, if you have south-facing or afternoon western sunshine, be aware that Stone House can lean into its warmth quite a bit!
