- I'm excited to share one of the best warm neutral paint colours with you, Sherwin Williams Natural Linen. Call it beige, call it tan, call it whatever you want, but this warm neutral is a great fit for MANY rooms, particularly those with beige tiles and carpets.

I used SW natural linen several years ago throughout my shore home with bright white trim. The color is perfect and adds warmth and brightness to each room.
I love reviews like this, they help other readers so much, thank you!
These are exactly the characteristics I’m looking for. I am considering purchasing a west facing home with a little over 1000sqft. It has a bit higher ceilings. Nonetheless, I want a just slightly warm, welcoming and light color to open the space.
I just love how you share colors and tones of color; you are awesome and beautigful
Thank you so much. I think this is what I will use in my family room
Thank you! This is super helpful 😊
I am intrigued by the look of Moderate White next to Natural Linen. I think this combo might work in my home. My great room has a lot of beiges, browns, and creams with dark red accents.
We just used this in our kitchen remodel and ended up using it on our living room and hallway too ! The person at SW recommended it and it goes so nicely with our maple cabinets. I really wanted a warm color instead of a gray. I’m hoping it goes well with our quartz countertop too !
I love how this color looks in our new kitchen! And our other living areas!!
@@katiestorck6876 is it north/ south facing?
@@luzelenacazares1336 we have some areas that face north and some that face south.
Please do a video on best tans or whites to use with lighter pine trim. It seems mostly yellow toned but also some orange so a bit tricky! One of your blog posts mentions the flexibility of Canvas Tan, would that be a good choice? Thanks for the great insights you share!
I'd love to see a review on SW Natural Choice! I haven't found a review by anyone. :)
Hi there. Painted my entire ten year old condo from "Trauma by Taupe" to Natural Linen. The floors are quite orangey maple and this colour really toned things down and looks stunning when the sunlight pours in. Ahead of painting out the very small U-shaped kitchen Maple cabinets, I experimented with the bathroom and used SW Antler Velvet. It looks amazing with renewed matte black accessories BUT would look awful in the kitchen even though it is the same granite countertops. Was thinking SW Portico might be the answer. Have you reviewed this one??
How am I just seeing this video! I am so torn right now between Wool Skein and Natural Linen. Our whole house has plenty of natural and artificial lighting ranging in the 4500K range. We painted a wall with Wool Skein and we love it! It is by far the absolute best color we have tried out of the last 8 colors. I would highly recommend doing a solo review on it. It is however slightly to dark, just by a tad. I was gonna ask SW if they could lighten it by 25% (or just do it myself by weight in a 5 gallon bucket)... But I think I will try Natural Linen first to see if it is the perfect match. I'm just worried Natural Linen may bring up those pink undertones even though we have ZERO red and pink in the house. We shall see, thanks Kylie!
Would love for you to review SW Realist Beige.
I love the review, and selected this color for our new build. However, the builder mixed up the interior and exterior colors. I now gaff be e SW sand beach on my interior walks and Natural Linen on the exterior- and they will not correct. Any way you can review these two combinations- especially Natural linen for exterior. Home front faces west.
I just painted my whole house with this and using Cyberspace SW (instead of a more black color) for kitchen island, master bedroom walls, Fireplace wall and my office accent… My fingers are crossed this goes as good as my imagination…
Great informative videos
Glad you think so!
Do you think Honest Blue or Notable Hue cabinets would look ok next to Natural Linen on walls?
Please do a comparison of SW Taupe of the Morning. I am right in the middle of picking paint color for new house build. I found out that Taupe of the Morning is only available in their designer line ($95/gal YIKES). So I'm trying to find a comparison. Found BM natural cream, natural tan, natural linen, muslin, etc. I definitely don't want builder beige and I do want a warm house but not yellow. Have a lot of Eastern light. We have quite a few antique doors that will take center stage, therefore I am painting casing the same color as the wall, just with a sheen so it will appear a little lighter. Also thinking of painting all baseboards Revere Pewter. Would love to see how you think the colors work together and which one is best to accomplish the warmth in Eastern light without going yellow.
Could you do a review on Sherwin Williams Downy and colors that could compliment it. Thank you.
Please please do a review of Maison Blanche by SW!
Kylie, I really need help determining the color to paint my walls in my open concept home. I am wondering if you can help. I just moved in this house and I am not sure what color the cabinets are. They are a medium cream. They almost look like SW Irish Cream 7537. The granite counter tops have a lot of black and cream with a rust veining. Comparable to Giallo Napoli granite. The trim and windows in my house is cherry. Floors are Canadian maple with a slight red undertone.
I love all of your videos but I am swooning with choices and don’t know what to do now. I began “knowing I was going to paint the whole (east/south facing townhouse (with only windows on the front side) white to make it feel open and airy. 1200 square feet isn’t big. The kitchen adjoins the open concept living room is gleaming white. Shiny (ikea-like) cabinets, white counters and a grey dominant wood floor). I would love some idea direction to make this space comfortable but not dark and closed in and helps to pull warmth from that cold floor). I like fresh and clean and colour in the decor.
I really like how atrium white looks in there and understand it can help offset the cool toned floor. Which I would do in the entrance up the stairs to the living area and then I was considering edgecomb gray for the kitchen and stairs/upper hall to the bedrooms to add some dimension and warmth. Wondering if Linen beige would be better? I haven’t slept in nights as I spend them combing paint theory and ideas. Time to choose and I feel more confused than ever. Pah-lease help me ground myself with solid options. :)
Love your tips! What can you suggest on walls with BM Navajo White trims (North facing windows)? I originally wanted Accessible Beige or BM Edgecomb Gray but i thought i might need more beige than those 2. So I hent to SW the other day and they suggested Natural Linen. I like it but i find it too beige. Is there a color that sits in between Natural Linen and Accessible Beige (but lighter than AB), so still kinda more beige but has a bit of gray? Thank you!!
I need a color for my bathroom with tan tiles! I’m so stumped. I have agreeable gray right now but would this better? Any recommendations?
My color sense must be off. I don’t see any orange it looks green to me. So confusing😋
So glad I found Kylie
You know, it COULD be your lighting!!!
Would recommend SW Greek villa for a trim with SW natural linen walls
Can you use this color with snowbound for the trim? Thank you
how about SW westhighland white for celing and trim with natural linen?
I have travertine tile throughout my house, and I am in need of a great color other than gray for the walls and high ceilings. also live in Florida.
Could you please review Sherwin Williams 7017 Dorian Gray? Am loving the idea of using it for a moody, romantic entrance and master bedroom, but am a bit scared of the low LRV. Thanks for considering my request!
I have this color in my DR & LR and love it !
I love watching your reviews and use your recommendations often! Sometimes it's confusing to know during a 2 color comparison to know which of the 2 you are commenting on. For instance "you can see the green tones really coming out on this one" ... which one?
Completely agree. I’m like- spell it out for me
I agree completely. I never see those undertones she’s talking about and have no idea which one is being referenced
It looks gorgeous in the can, but not on the walls. I had it in an office and it looked heinous with beige carpet and was too orangish and pink for me. Thanks for the video! Your videos are very informative.
Thank you Blayne! It does have some undertones, and while it's milder than a lot of the other 'versions', it can still be too much for some people :).
What color did you end up using?
@@132carsonk I went with City Loft paint and Snowbound trim.
Would you consider reviewing Sandbar and Shiitake by SW?
Would natural linen on a wall look ok with a bone white trim or cream colored trim? It seems like it’s too close in color to the trim. My room gets morning sun from the east. I have beige tile.
My bedroom is Irish cream, can u do one with that? What colors will go well with it? I seem to have sage green in my mind all the time. But I also use pinks or taupes and can’t figure out which pop of color to use.. green or pinks or is there any other o could try?
How does SW Natural Linen compare to SW Casa Blanca?
I'd love to see Realist Beige against these other neutrals.
Hi I'm wanting to paint my kitchen cabinets which are a cherry. I had someone come in to give me some color ideas and said Natural Linen for upper cabinets and Shitake for bottom cabinets. I'm still not sure. What do you think of these two color combinations for my kitchen cabinets. I need some expert advice. Thank You.
Thank you for this review! What decor colors coordinate best with it? The SW site shows "Gris Morado" which isn't appealing to me. Are there certain shades of blue, green, or orange (my fave decor colors) that would pop with this neutral?
I am curious as well. I love this color but I wonder if grey Upholstry will work with it?
Hi Kylie, I appreciate all your reviews but unfortunately I’m still confused on my paint color. I want a soft room. My room is a north west corner with two windows on the north and two on the west. I believe A soft beige would be my preference. The color you have on the wall behind you it’s quite pretty! I like the way your linen shades on your lamps look with it. Do you mind giving me that color, thank you!
Hi Janice, thank you! That wall colour is BM Balboa MIst which is LOVELY! But it's far from a soft beige as it's actually a warm gray with a violet undertone. You could try the warmer, but still not QUITE beige Winds Breath as well.
I have accessible beige in my kitchen and living room. I really like it in the kitchen, but it looks too gray and dull in the living room. Could I use natural linen in living room with accessible beige in kitchen. The rooms are separated, but still open enough that both colors need to look like they go. If this color doesn’t go, do you have another recommendation?
Could you please review Sherman Williams Oyster Bar?
I need a light warm neutral colour around LRV no higher than but not too much darker than about 80 with peachy/reddish undertones..have dark brown, engineered hardwood with peachy/reddish undertones. Open concept room with 2 bigger south windows as well as, one each, smaller east and west windows. Despite the number of windows, it is not exceedingly bright. Would you mind reviewing Mountain Peak White..and any other off whites or light neutrals with the above undertones?
I’ve been in a rabbit hole for hours watching your videos! I love them. I’d love to see this color compared to Grizzle Gray!
I'm remodeling my kitchen & I don't care for gray. I'll have light natural maple cabinets & using Wilsonart Baja Melange countertop. Would you please review SW6456, 6455. I think a soft green would maybe work? Thank you in advance.
What about cloud white for trim?
Does this color go with white kitchen cabinets?
Thanks for another great video! Would you consider listing the colors, in the order presented, you show for comparisons?
Hi Bethany! Do you mean like in the video description? I could do that!
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint yes, ma'am!
I am looking for a custom color to paint new kitchen cabinets. I do not want white. Many of the creams look yellow. I also don't want them to look grey. I want a very neutral color. I found Windfresh White and can not seem to find any reviews on it. (I know it is very close to City Loft but I'm liking WW a little more) I have all golden oak trim and medium oak floors. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Hi! So is beige coming into major style now? And gray kinda on the outs?
What color paint is in the room you filmed this video ? 😊
I painted a sample using a quart of flat natural linen from lowes. For my final finish I chose eggshell. However the eggshell is a shade lighter than the flat version. Im not talking about reflection but the color is truly lighter in eggshell. Is this expected or did lowes mess up?
Well, it could be a few things. #1 - Lowes could have messed up, definitely. #2 - when the sheen shifts sometimes the paint 'recipe' shifts, especially if you change LINES of paint at all. This can result in a shift (and drives me crazy when this happens). Have you compared both to the original chip to see which one is the RIGHT one? If the eggshell is a bit lighter, they should be able to fix it and if not, I would HOPE they'd make you a new gallon in the right colour :)
With natural linen walls, would tricorn black go well for interior doors with either pure white or high reflective white trim?
This is the same color combo I want to go with? Answer to this question would be great Kylie. Love 💕 your channel! Thank you
Hi!
I wonder what do you think of SW Siitake. My house faces East. I have a light tone blue sectional sofa, with medium tone stained wood cabinets & carrara marble counter tops, dark brown floors. Some decor elements in soft green. It is coastal, tranquil atmosphere.
The color will be used on walls, trim & ceiling throughout the entire house. Any suggestions?
Thank you, very informative video.
The sun moves
Our public education on display. Well yes, all the planets move. But Kylie is referring to the sun “rising” and “setting” in a given location. This is due to the earth’s rotation. Class dismissed.
@@guitarsan But that is not what our eyes see. We see the sun moving . Kylie was initially right!
If I use Natural Linen on the ceiling (9’ up) in a room with a window from the north and a window from the East, can I pair it with something like Tradewind or a color that has a tiny bit more blue? I already have fixtures that are Burnished bronze. My husband wanted the room to be on the beach house or Nautical side. I’m clueless, but learning a lot from watching your videos. I also followed your Instagram. Thank you
Maybe Hinting Blue by SW?
Would you say this is close to BM OC-10 White Sand. I looked at the RGB codes and they seem so similar. I have 4 gallons of untinted SW paint and I got spooked to get a colour match to OC-10. I also think SW Natural Tan is similar to OC -10.
White sand is pinkier while natural linen is lighter and slightly more orange. Haven’t looked at natural tan yet but I believe its natural linen without the orange/pink tone
What Benjamin Moore color is closest to this color PLEASE?
I have chosen the Natural linen for my walls, but trying to decide on a color for my kitchen cabinets. Would Creamy or Cotton White compliment Natural Linen? Or should I choose Downy, Pure White, Moderate White or Pure White (all colors I think you mentioned)
What color did you end up choosing? I'm in the same predicament right now.
Warm based Light Color is my choice for South and West Facing Directions, as Warm is my choice over blue cools.
Beige's become Tan with Warm Yelow and Peach.
5th is a new and returning after a long absence in Basics Neutrals. It was very popular in the 70's
I need a paint color for our whole house. I painted two walls Ballet White. I love the Ballet White but the rest of the family thinks it is too light. White Sand seems a bit too orange. Would Neutral Ground or Natural Linen be a better choice. Our carpet is light gray. (We have some orange oak cabinets but planning to paint them white.)
Ooooh! What did you decide to do?
This color with chantilly lace, yay or nay
YAY!
I've done walls, trim and ceiling with Chantilly Lace. I'll be using Natural Linen for kitchen cabinets. Crossing fingers colors do well together.
I have high ceiling 16 feet with a lot of windows and natural light. Do you think natural linen will work? Please help. Thank you
I have high ceiling and I used Benjamin Moore Muslin OC-12, 1037 and it looks spectacular
What color is a little darker than Natural Linen. I would like to paint my mantel and think a little darker would work.
SW's China Doll is almost exactly one shade darker in every color used.
Is Natural Linen more beige than Accessible Beige? AB keeps coming out too gray in my lighting.
Same problem!! I painted my south facing family room Accessible Beige and it looks straight up cool gray and clashes with my tile floors which are warm/cream/brown so I’m going to try Natural Linen and cross my fingers.
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?
Hi Sophie I just put natural linen today in my master bedroom and looked light beige I keep telling myself it’s a soothing relaxing color remind me sand on beach 🏝️
Would SW Natural Linen work as a wall color with SW Steamed Milk as a trim color?
What color is on the walls? It's beautiful
Thank you Maureen, that's BM Balboa Mist!
@@KylieMInteriorsPaint Balboa mist
Do you think that natural linen goes well with red undertones in wood cabinets?
Yes, she said it in another video about red toned wood 👍🏻
Could you please review Sherman Williams Natural Tan?
Hmmmm, you know, that one just might be in editing! I'll check and see if I can get it bumped up :).
Nope, it's not there, but I'll do it in my next batch. That CAN take a month or two, but I'll get there!
I used sw natural tan in my bedroom and find it really boring.
Hi kylie I have just painted ny entry wall BM elmira white, I need to paint out my trim, what color do you recommend?
Hi Charlene, while it can depend on the surroundings sometimes, I would suggest the simplicity of BM Chantilly Lace :).
The current trim is very similar to chantilly lace and I'm finding this slightly too stark in contrast. Which other color(s) would you suggest?
I have a large sample board of natural linen. I soooo wanted to like it. It's pink in my room. Is that due to the yellow beige carpet and honey oak trim??
Hi Jo, YES, it could look more pink 'in comparison' to a yellow beige and honey oak :). Sounds like you need a colour that leans less on orange-pink and grabs a bit more cream :)
What color would you recommend that meets that criteria? I’m in the same boat! Thanks!
@@celiahagan9727 Me, too. I love natural linen, but I almost have to talk myself out of seeing the pink.
After looking at your videos and your blogs, I think I have decided to move away from Canvas Tan and to chose Natural Linen (maybe darkened 25%? Since we have east-facing light). We have orange undertoned wood and from what you have shared with us, it seems that Canvas Tan might clash a bit with this wood. Does that sound like an correct assessment?
yes, this sounds like the better choice - good researching!
Would you pick this with halle navy cabinets or canvas tan or natural tan for northfacing?
I am looking to create a really warm and cozy home.
Hello! We live in a new build, and didn't pick any of the colors. We have Natural linen floor trim and all the interior doors are that as well. They painted the walls Antler Velvet (which I don't love). I'm wanting to not paint all the doors and trim, so want something to compliment the Natural Linen. I'd like to lighten the downstairs, so maybe a white or a really light grey? Any recommendations? Thank you!
If you haven’t already selected a color, I recommend doing the walls in Natural Linen flat and leave the semigloss Natural Linen. The contrast would be lovely.
*leave the trim and doors semigloss Natural Linen
( ? ) hi I did natural linen cupboards per these videos thank you ... but now I'm struggling with what is the best white for walls not to pull the pink tone... is Dover white or Westinghouse?
Will Benjamin Moore Atrium white trim work with Natural linen? Love your videos!
Kilimanjaro beige
I searched lights bulbs and nothing came up in my search results.
Hi, can you review City Loft please. :)
You know what, Karimah? I think I've done City Loft and it's in editing (I think...). I'll see if I can get it bumped up for you, okay?
Bloxburg people:
Linen lights, linen floor, linen walls, linen dirt, linen plants, linen roof, linen decoration
How would Greek Villa or Westhighland white go with Natural Linen?
Nope, they're both too yellow, although Greek Villa is BETTER. I'd lean into SW Pure White :).
Kylie, architectural paints don’t have “undertones”. If you’re going to review colors, you need to learn about the other color data values (hue, value, and chroma), not just LRV.
Hi
That looks similar to natural tan... am i right
If you have pure white trim and natural linen walls, what color cabinets?
Oooo, if you're thinking white cabinets, I'd be looking right at Pure White, rather than mixing and matching whites :)
