It isn’t always a simple process to find the perfect paint color. Kate Riley has gotten lots of questions about how to find a good matching paint for the oat-colored cabinets in a picture of a remodeled kitchen that she published last year. Kate recommends taupe, a color between grey and beige. To find just the perfect shade of taupe, Kate then collected a wide variety of taupe paint swatches from different companies and compared them to her cabinets. She decided that Sherwin Williams’ “Shitake” and Benjamin Moore’s “Affinity” were the two best matches.
