Complementing paint pairings
From light to dark, there are several coordinating paint colors to accompany your shade of Greek Villa. For a minimal contrast, choose a crisp shade like White Snow (9541), as its stark appearance will bring more attention to the off-white tone. For a light color pairing, you might choose a subtle hue like Limewash (9589), which incorporates equally delicate amounts of beige, brown, and gray. However, you'll achieve a greater contrast with a mid-tone selection with its more distinctive level of color. Additionally, you might explore muted versions of aqua, eucalyptus, or other grayish-green colors, which can add character to an accent wall or other space.
Establish a vivid scene by applying darker shades of navy blue, forest green, onyx, or brown.

While many neutral and rich shades pair well with the warm, beige-toned paint, you might also consider the option of dusty pastels. Whether it's traditional or whimsy, you can energize a ceiling, staircase, or the backer board of a bookcase with a light pink, green, or yellow for an additional level of refresh.
