Undertones

Bungalow Beige has warm red undertones with just a touch of brown and orange mixed in. That’s what gives it such a soft, inviting feel.

In a south-facing room with plenty of natural light, it’ll look even warmer and a little lighter. It brings out the cozy side of the color.

In a north-facing room, it can shift slightly cooler and might even take on a subtle greige tone. It still feels warm overall, but the lighting really changes how it shows up.

I’ve learned the hard way that lighting makes a huge difference, so I always recommend swatching first. You want to see how the color looks in your space throughout the day before committing.

What's the difference: SW Accessible Beige vs Bungalow Beige?

Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige and Bungalow Beige are both warm, neutral colors, but they don’t look the same once they’re on the wall.

Accessible Beige leans more gray, while Bungalow Beige feels warmer and a little more saturated. The undertones are different too — Bungalow Beige leans red-orange, and Accessible Beige leans orange-yellow.

If you're trying to choose between them, I’d recommend swatching both side by side. You'll quickly see which one feels better in your light.

What color trim goes with SW Bungalow Beige?

Since Bungalow Beige is a warm neutral, it pairs best with other soft, warm tones, especially when it comes to trim.

I’d try Sherwin Williams Alabaster, Benjamin Moore White Dove, or Behr Cameo White. These whites have a creamy quality that works really well with beige and won’t feel too stark or cold.

Swatching the trim next to your wall color can help you spot any undertones that might pop in your specific lighting.

Even though both are warm neutrals, Sherwin Williams Bungalow Beige and Agreeable Gray are pretty different in tone.

Bungalow Beige is a soft beige with red undertones, while Agreeable Gray is a greige. Bungalow Beige feels warmer and a little richer, while Agreeable Gray reads cooler and more toned down.

Sherwin Williams Bungalow Beige and Shiitake are both warm, neutral colors, but they’re not identical.

Bungalow Beige is a warm beige with red and orange undertones. Shiitake leans more toward a stone gray, so it feels a little cooler and more earthy.

Shiitake has a slightly lower LRV at 51, compared to Bungalow Beige at 53, so it's just a touch darker. I’ve compared the two in real rooms before, and even though they’re close, the difference is clear once they’re on the wall.

Definitely swatch both if you’re choosing between them. What looks “just right” in one home might feel totally off in another.
