   I have a dark house without a lot of natural light currently painted a very deep mustard gold. Scary! Thankfully, there is a lot of wood work and white cabinetry and I’ve done white sofas with light area rugs,as the floor is a darker wood and I wonder if Intricate Ivory has enough depth to not go dirty looking due to the lack of light? It seems to contrast enough with the white woodwork. Any thoughts would be helpful! P.S. we don’t like gray, and are glad to see it wanning in popularity!,
   Thanks,
   Nancy

     Let me know how it works, I have the same exact situation and about a million color samples hung on my walls!
     I have reddish/oak trim around my windows, lots of light from the east and south, but I’m afraid intricate ivory may have too much of a pink undertone to it.

       Hi Gail,

       I agree. Intricate Ivory can actually have a peachy undertone that won’t look as good with your reddish oak trim. I would look for a cream color with more of taupe undertone or to tone down the reddish wood, I love a soft blue-gray. It will compliment the trim while also toning down some of the warm. Let me know what you decide!

       Thanks so much,
       Laura

     Hi Nancy,

     I do think that Intricate Ivory has enough depth, but it can honestly have a slight peachy undertone. I would look at a few other creamier paint color options that have a bit more of a yellow undertone, but won’t look “dirty” at all next to your woodwork. Test out some other creams to see how they look in your lighting. You are on the right track with white rugs and accessories to lighten your space up! Keep me posted on your progress.

     Thanks so much for reaching out,
     Laura
