I'm already a fan of James' adorable personality and silly sense of humor from many other videos (I think "Not now, Chantilly!" is my fave) and now we find out he sings too?! All this in addition to serious color skills. Are there any more talents you're hiding from us, James?
James, love learning from you. I bought a Park Moble mobile home to retire in. Small but nice windows and high ceiling. I want to paint the "mobile home" type walls. I hate them. Wish you would do a video on paint choices when painting smaller living areas and walls being some sort of vinyl. What sheen, color choices and what will stick. Love you.❤
An element that would be nice to include is the type of flooring colour some wall colours would go well with. This is generally a fixed element in most homes and what compliments dark flooring or a light oak wood floor would be quite helpful. Maybe a video on that subject or just throwing an example when talking about each colour could really help people move into the right direction for overall cohesive colour choices. Really enjoying the content and just putting it out there as an idea.
Thank you James!!! I finally gave the colors to my painter last night!! Yea!! I went with Cyberspace for built-ins, SW Natural Linen for walls and trim, and SW Antler Velvet for bathroom vanity. It feels like a tractor trailer has been lifted off my shoulders!! Thanks again for all your help!!! Your videos were a major help!!
I’m not here for this colour particularly. I just love colour in general. And also I’m a huge fan of James and the paint people videos. The vid’s informative and very very inspirational. Cool stuff thanks heaps
Just painted my kitchen walls with natural linen but very confused about picking cabinet colors. West facing. Off white just feels too boring but the greens are tricky. I say tricky because the back splash is off white tiles with a few green tiles here and there. Thinking of matching the green tiles but I want to change the backsplash eventually. Eventually is the operative word here. Don't want whatever color I choose to clash with the tile. The tiles look very close to Benjamin Moore Bunker Hill. Not quite as sophisticated as I would like
Looks like the kind of colour I'm looking for to go in our grandson's bedroom. It has to go with a deep blue and I want it light reflective with a warm' tone but I don't want it to look yellow against the blue. Natural linen might work 👍
Hilarious and informative as ever! At this point, I’d tune in to a livestream of paint drying provided you were hosting it lol (I wonder why Black Bean Soup’s undertones are so brown when the lighter swatches read so blue? I would have expected it to go indigo, but there you go!)
I would like to know how this color compares to BM Plaster of Paris, which is a strong consideration for our new home. Thanks, I watch and give a thumbs up on every video you do!
Hi James- was wondering difference between BM natural linen and SW natural linen and which one you think would be best for an east facing stucco house with clay tile roof?
Thinking of using BM natural linen for kitchen cabinets in a north facing room- very hard to find any examples of this on Pinterest- what do you think about natural linen as a kitchen cabinet color (slate gray tile, white quartz countertops, white walls and backsplash)
I can't believe I have seen one of your videos before today. You do an awesome job. Thank you. Would Natural Linen look too dusty in a north facing fairly dark living room? I want to lighten and brighten it up and would like a warm neutral...dark enough to contrast nicely with the trim. Thanks for the Vapor suggestion. Be well.
I am a big fan, you speak colors well!! I’m looking for something to go with my knotty pine ceiling and walls. The living room has paneling that I want to paint. Would natural linen and black bean soup trim go with the orangey golden pine?
Hi James, Love your videos. Using Natural Linen to moderize a Tuscan gold home. Trying to blend the gold/browns out and bring in 2022 without replacing flooring. How do you like Brandon Biege and Raccoon Hollow as complimentary colors? Trim is KM 45 White Shadow already and looking for a black brown for the huge precast fireplace? Ideas or comments? Tracey
I need a paint color to match with beige/brown tiles in my new bathroom. They are on the floor and in the shower. Can you recommend a paint color? I was thinking a creamy neutral/white
James, I love your videos and I appreciate how you take your time to answer. I am looking for a creamy color so I tried shoji white paint and bought a paper color sample of creamy SW 7012 but both look too white and bright. My kitchen cabinets are Greek villa( looks too white for me) and my furniture and decorations are warmer tones. Do you think that white duck or natural choice could a choice. Your opinion is important to me. Thank you.
Hi! Those choices might read too white for you also if you think Shoji White is too bright. I know it's hard to tell on those small samples where you can see the undertones of the color more but on the wall it'll still read basically white. Have you looked at something like Accessible Beige??
Hi James love your videos need advice , we just bought our new house need help in choosing entry way color from Benjamin price does meter we both like warm color and the house happens to be dark we want to brighten it up but with warmer tone . Please help us thank you .
Love your informative yet entertaining videos! I am moving into a new house where the primary bedroom is long with a vaulted ceiling and a single north-facing window (I live in Canada, btw). I want to paint all the walls and ceilings in the same colour and was considering both natural linen and muslin. I've used both in the past but in rooms with south-facing windows. I'm worried about any green or peach undertones which I had before. Would the colours behave differently in the north light? Can you suggest a Benjamin Moore neutral beige colour without the undertone issues in a northern light? Thanks SO much! :)
Hmm. North facing windows give off cooler light, so going warmer will help counterbalance that, so you could look for something with a hint of yellow like White Chocolate, but your best bet is to test a couple out and see what feels right.
We’re remodeling our kitchen and don’t want white on cupboards. Would Natural Linen be a good cupboard color and go with any of the new greens for an accent color, like for our island. Would prefer a mid tone green and not dark. Mainly East exposure. Any help would be appreciated. Love your videos! (Flooring hasn’t been picked out yet.)
James please help. I have a room that leads off my living room that is painted Benjamin Moore Affinity color Flora. I am looking for a nice bege or neutral color that will pair. Suggestions please. I am getting dizzy looking at colors. The floors in the living room are wood and have a bit of a golden hue. Wish they were a more modern natural wood, but it is what I have to work with right now. The living room also gets a lot early morning light, then darker as the day gets long if that helps at all. ;)
Any ideas for a deeper grey to pair with CC90? I like the Pewter in the video.. but looking for something slightly darker. Any ideas would be most welcome😊
Great video! Thank you! We used BM Natural Linen throughout most of our home. It looks great in the primary bedroom and the living/dining area. It actually looks different on the different walls in the living/dining area (which is a 700 sq ft L-shaped area) - it looks more gray on some walls in the living/dining area and more tan on other walls. But, it looks TERRIBLE in the guest room and guest bedroom. It looks too GREEN in these rooms! I really don't know why the Natural Linen looks green in the guest bed/bath but not the rest of the house and am bummed this happened in these rooms. Any thoughts on what we can do to "tone down" the green? Or are we just stuck with it unless we re-paint those rooms? If we re-paint, any suggestions on which color to use? I'm scared of the French Canvas since this video said that color can also look green. We tested the Natural Linen - but apparently did not test well enough to see the green in the guest rooms. I appreciate your video and any additional feedback!
Sorry to hear that Lil Red, that could be the light and/or undertones? Not sure what you can do in that case, but if it's the lighting thats contributing then I'd consider a lighter warmer color like BM Barely Beige?
HELPP, unrelated to natural linen but!!! I painted my cabinets with BM creamy white and it’s BEAUTIFUL. Butttt I painted the walls cloud white and they look to similar and clash way to much to where the cloud white looks very yellow and dingy. I’m thinking I need a brighter white to contrast? Do you think Chantilly lace would look good with my creamy white cabinets??? What are your recommendations? Also I have brass fixtures and stainless appliances.
I thought I’d add too that I bought three gallons of cloud white 😵💫 I was planning to paint the living room and dinning room cloud white still and I’m hoping it’ll look good since it won’t be beside the cabinets.
I painted a room this color and I hate it so much, it's undertone is peach and the only thing that looks good with it are related colors, maybe turquoise would be a complimentary
I wonder WHY there are ZERO images of BM's ROYAL LINEN paints in real rooms - neither videos nor still shots!! On paper at least, the Royal Linen is a true classic and amazingly beautiful. But NO - there are only still images and videos covering every other kind of linen hue out there, just not royal linen. Shame on Benjamin Moore!
Do you guys ever do actual color? Or is always just slightly not white? Because if it's just these same colors over and over, I'm out. But if you guys do actual color, I'll stick around.
You make a good point! We mainly put out videos based on people's requests, and neutrals are still more of the requested colors. We try and incorporate more variety in our lists, but maybe we should dabble more in bold choices for colour code. What sorts of colours do you gravitate towards?
@@thepaintpeople I think it'd be interesting to talk about the types of yellows to avoid and to choose based on the person's needs... yellow is so beautiful and refreshing but it intimidates me. Everyone I know ends up with a yellow that looks too highlighter bright for my taste. I've used mustard yellows before but want to explore bright yellows for either a sunroom, den, or bedroom vine. Or even exterior paint! ♡
I hear you! I have actual colour on all my walls, I can’t imagine living in variations of off white lol. Behr Pale Honey in my West living room makes me so happy.
I'm already a fan of James' adorable personality and silly sense of humor from many other videos (I think "Not now, Chantilly!" is my fave) and now we find out he sings too?! All this in addition to serious color skills. Are there any more talents you're hiding from us, James?
Wow, you can really sing!! 👍
Who knew James had some pipes? 😃 Another informative video. Thank you James!

They’re not giving that away for free 🤪
Liking the video for the sing songing of Natural Linen. LOL. Looking forward to more songs on colors.

Awesome Janet! So happy we were able to help!
Just put this on my exterior window trim. Gorgeous!!
Nice video- I like Natural Linen with Cloud White with trim!
I’m impressed with your singing skillz !😲🎶🎶
Ok... um... paint people can sing!! Lovely video, and super lovely voice!!!
Thank youuuuu 🎵🎶
Yes! James! You can sing!!!
I was like “ooo he got vocals”, I hear you 👏🏿👏🏿

Would like to see a video on colors for oak honey kitchen cabinets
Just did my kitchen it’s beautiful

Hi ,being from the UK, could you do more Farrow and ball, especially drop cloth
Painting is hard, so I paint everything in Edgecomb grey and cloud white.
You like the colors?
@@icedteamama176...Oh yes and the colour changes slightly throughout depending on the amount of sunlight...Dover white is a nice trim color too.

Can you do some aquas and differences between a few of them like spa, swimming, gentle aqua marine ect. Tone wise

Can you just come to my house and pick out my paint colors for me. 😊😅
I’m sure you could walk in and decide within seconds.

HELP! I put a swatch of Natural Linen on my wall and it looks green 🤢 what color can I get that looks lighter, warmer and creamier?

Benjamin moores website does provide complimentary colors, just put the name in their search.
Singing was very good

Have a look at Bm Steel Wool.
Wondering if you are compensated by the paint companies you promote?

Chantilly might contrast even more, would you think about going darker on the walls?
What is yiur optimism about grand Teton white for kitchen cabinets ?
Quite optimistic! Nice and warm!
@@thepaintpeople sorry I meant opinion ? Lol
I painted a room this color and I hate it so much, it's undertone is peach and the only thing that looks good with it are related colors, maybe turquoise would be a complimentary
Did I miss something or was it a joke? Where does the tan come into it? 🤔
