Get all the details about one of my favorite cream paint colors, Benjamin Moore Soft Chamois.
I discovered Benjamin Moore Soft Chamois from one of my favorite designers, Phoebe Howard. I love how warm it feels, yet still very light, giving the illusion of space in our foyer bath and creating a relaxing retreat in areas like our master bedroom.
When we moved into our home, we had the entire upstairs painted Benjamin Moore Soft Chamois, and have never looked back! In fact, we loved it so much we repainted our foyer bath in it as well and I often contemplate repainting our dining room with it because it’s current color feels a bit too cool with its lighting situation.

This is one of the most versatile paint colors I’ve used to date. It’s a great fit for a lot of spaces and it’s so soft.
During the day it looks light and beautiful, and at night warm, but not yellow or dirty.
To help you decide which paint color is right for you, I’m breaking them down with pros and cons of each, where they’re best used, etc.

I have my heart set on soft chamois for the hardi board siding of our new home. I a not a color person and like muted shades. Can you recommend a contrasting color for the posts, door and peaks? I was considering BM hazy skies? Appreciate your input. Btw, trim is pure white.
I’m sorry, I haven’t tested that color though it does look like it will work quite well.
