Shaker Beige HC-45 by Benjamin Moore … “This inviting mid-toned tan evokes the elements of a lazy beach hideaway—smooth sand, burnished driftwood, a woven sun hat the color of café au lait.”
I absolutely love this color, it’s versatility and sophistication makes it a go to for me ~ nancy
The photos below are examples of Shaker Beige HC-45 in 3 very different design styles.

Below, is a family room that was painted in Shaker Beige HC-45 by Intentional Designs, Inc.
Shaker Beige works beautifully in a casual transitional style family room, it lends itself to a color scheme of rich deep chestnut leathers and wood tones combined with accents in red. The view below is from the family room looking into the kitchen. The kitchen is painted in Benjamin Moore Powell Buff HC-35.
Powell Buff HC-35 by Benjamin Moore … “A quintessential neutral, this soothing shade creates a relaxed atmosphere. Perfect for transitional spaces or where an all-over dose of barely-there color is desired.”
The window treatments are custom-made from Intentional Designs, Inc. in scarlet with a tan banding to coordinate with Shaker Beige.

Thank you
Hi Bertha, So glad you stopped by to read our blog post! I agree that it is a great combination. However, I don’t have any further paint information on the Living Room.
