    I'm sitting here looking at the color chip and trying to figure out what color hue it has?? All I am seeing is a very neutral beige. I'm just curious as to what hue it would give off??? Thanks

    Ah, see, it's in that group of paintstrips that have SO many great beiges in it. Those are some of the best neutrals out there. It really IS a pretty neutral beige...if it has an undertone, it'll be toward the tan (orange) side. The next strip over is quite orange. Look further down the strip to see the darker colors. A lot of times they'll show the undertone more than the light ones (until they're on the wall Wink).

    Casey - Until they are on the wall is sooo right!! LOL - With all the sample paints I have I could open up a small paint store! Thanks! If I may, I'd like to ask you another question. I currently have beleivable buff in one room. I'm liking the color most of the time, but am not fond of the green hue - any suggestions to a color that's close to this without the green? Thanks a bunch!

    A lot of people like Blonde and say it doesn't have the green. (but in my light, Blonde is green and BB is not. Big Grin) Sundew SW7688 is the same LRV as BB but MAYBE a bit more golden. You might look at it. Monroe Bisque (BenM) HC-26 is a 95% match and it doesn't look a bit green to me. hmmm, Monroe Bisque is what I would look at.
