The list of the best beige paints is longer than you might imagine. As a color, it has seemingly endless variations, ranging from off-white to an almost-amber, and designers love experimenting with it to bring warmth to neutral schemes.
'We’re allergic to bright white, which often feels too stark and make all the pieces we’ve chosen stand out too much,' says Azar Fattahi, one of the co-founders of the interior design studio LALA Reimagined. Instead, she favors playing around on the beige end of the paint spectrum, imbuing the walls in her schemes with a calming sense of comfort. 'We like a color called Kashmir from Portola Paints which is warmer [than white],' she adds. 'It’s not white, but it’s not quite off white, either.' The perfect summation of what beige is.
