Repose gray, on the other hand, has more green undertones. Repose Gray is warm toned, but not nearly as warm as a beige color. Next to warmer beiges, it almost looks cool toned!
How do I decide between these two colors?
If you want an earthy, warm, cozy and comfortable color, Accessible Beige might be for you.
If you prefer a more calm, cool space (but not cold or stark), you might prefer Repose Gray!
Grays have been trendier than beiges in recent years, so Repose Gray has been more on trend. However, we are starting to see more warm tones come back, so Accessible Beige is by no means out of style!
