    I am painting my reproduction saltbox with Sherwin Williams Bungalow Beige on the siding and Kestrel White on the trim. I need a darker color for the shutters — preferably gray or brownish gray. Can you recommend one?
    Thanks!

        Hi Peyton,

        Thanks for reaching out! Here is how I responded to Leila:

        Try the darkest shade on the Bungalow Beige paint strip. That is a good rule of thumb that I like to go by if you are trying to stay within the same color family with the same undertone.

        Let me know if I can help further through an Exterior Color Consultation!

        Thanks, Peyton!

      Hi Ludwina,

      I assume that you are staining your fence? If so, Sherwin-Williams has several different colors of exterior stains. I would pick a medium-toned brown that has similar undertones to Bungalow Beige. If I can help through an Exterior Color Consultation, please let me know!

      Thank you for reaching out!

    We are considering using bungalow beige as a whole house color. It works great in the very large, open, with one wall that’s completely windows kitchen/family room/breakfast nook area but seems too dark in bedrooms and bathrooms. Any suggestions on a complimentary color for the smaller rooms?

      Hi Kim,

      If you like the Bungalow Beige, see if you can have your local Sherwin-Williams store mix it up at 50% so you can get a lighter look in the other rooms that have less natural light. There are also a few lighter taupes/beiges in the same color family that are lighter and would work well with Bungalow Beige.

      Let me know if I can help you find the perfect color through an Interior Color Consultation. Thanks so much for reaching out, Kim!

    We have used bungalow beige as our whole house interior color and want to paint a darker accent wall in the family room and a bolder blue color in the dining room. Any suggestions as to what colors would coordinate well? The spaces are separated by a long entryway/hallway but can be seen from each area.

      Hi there,

      Bungalow Beige has a taupe undertone, so a darker taupe color would work well as an accent wall for the family room. There are lots of options for bold blues! I would love to help you find the right colors through an Interior Color Consultation. It’s the best way for me to see your space and find the right colors to coordinate.

      Thanks so much for reaching out and I hope to hear from you soon!

    Hi,

    Debating between either SW Accessible Beige or Bungalow Beige for my condo. I do not get much natural light. My sofa and love seat or sage green and tan wall to wall carpet. I have wood medium brown cherry furniture. Which color would be the more warmer, soothing color?

    Thank you

    Our exterior stucco is an odd color that looks pink or purple but is actually a cocoa color, and our stucco trim color matches to Bungalow Beige. What would be a good lighter color (lighter than Bungalow Beige, but not too light) to paint the main portion of our exterior. It is a large area facing west. We cannot repaint the trim because the gutters and downspouts were just replaced to match, and we want the main part of the house to be neutral and not too dark. Thanks.
