Paint the colour of v.v.milky latte?

I'm looking for a neutral paint which is beige toned rather than pink or cream as most seem to be. I visited a house today which had just that, the paint was the shade of a really milky coffee, milk with a hint of coffee really Grin The owner couldn't remember the colour though.
Can anyone recommend a paint shade matching this description?
TIA

It's amazing how different paints look in different rooms, but I'd suggest these two:

F&B Cornforth white (grey in many rooms, but very beige toned in mine)

House of Colour (Homebase) Putty

F&B Oxford Stone? I spent ages trying to find a pale brown/cream colour. Most things looked too pink in our hall. We had a peach nightmare there a few years ago!

Dulux Calico is latte coloured.

Oxford Stone looks quite beige in my sitting room, although I do have London Stone on the woodwork. Nice though.

Thank you all, I had looked at Oxford stone. Ive tried calico and am.considering it for the hall but its more of a cream I think? Just shows how different paints look in different lights!

Tell me about it! Everything looks darker in our hall and a hint of pink is emphasised horribly. London Stone was the recommendation from MN but I realised in the F&B shop that it was too dark. I think the extra pigment in F&B paint helps the colours look truer to the paint charts.

White pepper b&q

Dulux Natural Hessian. I used it in my bedroom and it's lovely. Like a very milky coffee. B & Q have it on offer this weekend too.

Just walnut from dulux looks like milky coffee

Duluz York White? it is a heritage colour and a traditional hall and stairs colour - i have it in my kitchen and it doesn't look pink, yellow or too dark.

Dulux Soft Stone sounds similar to what you are describing, just painted most of our lounge in it :)

kojackscat · 28/02/2015 20:08

Crown picnic basket is similar to what you want, I think.

Have a look at homebase sanctuary "cosy". It's a warm, v pale beige.

Dulux Warm Parchment?

Look at Paint and Paper Library - lots and lots of neutral shades. Little Greene too though not quite so many.
