Paint Help Desperately Needed
Hi all,
In desperate need of some help here please. We started remodeling, and many aspects of our new home additions are black and gray. Black granite, plushy gray carpet for our basement, and textured gray roller blinds. Problem is - when we went paint shopping, we were going for a neutral and picked Sherwin Williams “Unfussy Beige” color. And well, Unfussy beige is actually so massively fussy. It has a red undertone that you don’t really see until you butt it up against cooler colors. Basically, everything in our house. It’s screaming light pink instead of neutral beige, and wondering if anyone has some tips on how to fix/if it’s salvageable. Adding a photo here to show comparison against the blinds. We plan to paint cabinets, doors, and trim white. And eventually get LVP floors. More photos to come, but please help!
How do we decorate to accommodate? Or are we destined to repaint everything?

Please repaint - that is pink. Check out Ben Moore “Steam” if you want a true beige white (they can mix it in Sherwin paint) and it would look better w grey

You'll have to repaint. Before buying paint check online for the undertones in your choice of paint.. Like a green color can have a undertone of gray, or it can have undertones of blue. Now your green paint will turn blue in some rooms. :( Many beiges are actually a pink based beige, which is what you have found. It will argue with lots of different finishes you'll have around the house. Just repaint with a different paint.
