Behr Livingston (N330-5) is a rich, versatile neutral that strikes the perfect balance between warm and cool tones. This medium greige (a blend of gray and beige) is an excellent choice for homeowners and designers looking to create a sophisticated, grounded atmosphere in their spaces. Its understated elegance and ability to adapt to a variety of design styles make it a standout shade in the world of interior design.
Livingston features soft taupe undertones that lend it a warm, inviting quality, while its subtle gray base keeps it modern and refined. Depending on your lighting, you may notice Livingston shift in personality throughout the day.

This chameleon-like quality makes it incredibly versatile for any room in your home.
To create a harmonious color palette, consider pairing Livingston with these complementary hues:
Soft Whites and Creams: Shades like Behr’s Swiss Coffee (12) or Ultra Pure White (PP100) provide a crisp, clean contrast that enhances Livingston’s warm undertones. These pairings are ideal for trim, ceilings, or cabinetry.
Earthy Neutrals: Add depth and richness by incorporating darker neutrals like Behr’s Intellectual (N370-6) or Falcon Gray (N360-4). These shades create a cohesive and layered look that feels grounded and sophisticated.
Muted Blues and Greens: For a pop of color, consider soft, muted tones like Behr’s Watery (HDC-CT-26) or Sage Gray (N340-4). These nature-inspired shades bring a sense of calm and balance to the space.
Warm Accents: Add warmth with terracotta or mustard tones such as Behr’s Moroccan Spice (S220-5) or Glorious Gold (M300-5). These colors make Livingston feel cozy and inviting, perfect for accent walls or décor elements.
Livingston’s neutral yet complex character makes it an excellent foundation for a variety of design schemes. Here are some creative ways to incorporate it into your home:
Livingston can create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere in your living room. Pair it with plush furniture, natural wood tones, and textured accents like woven rugs or linen curtains for a comfortable yet chic space. Its neutral base sets the stage for layering with colorful throw pillows or bold artwork.
In bedrooms, Livingston delivers a serene, tranquil vibe. Use it on the walls to create a restful retreat, and accentuate its warmth with crisp white bedding and soft pastel accents. Add metallic finishes, like brushed gold or silver, for an extra touch of elegance.
Livingston shines in kitchens and dining rooms, where its greige tones can complement a variety of materials, from marble countertops to wooden cabinetry. Use it for walls or even cabinetry to achieve a modern farmhouse or minimalist aesthetic. Pair it with matte black hardware for a sleek, contemporary look.
In bathrooms, Livingston’s neutral tone evokes a spa-like ambiance. Pair it with white subway tiles, soft gray towels, and natural elements like bamboo or rattan for a space that feels clean and calming.
For home offices, Livingston creates a professional yet inviting backdrop that promotes focus and productivity. It works well with darker furniture finishes or modern shelving, helping to balance warmth and sophistication.
Don’t overlook Livingston for exterior applications! Its versatile tone works beautifully as a primary color for siding or as an accent for trim and shutters. It pairs wonderfully with stonework and natural landscaping elements.
To bring out the best in Behr Livingston, pay attention to your lighting conditions. In rooms with plenty of natural light, it appears warmer and cozier.

Testing it in your space before committing is key to understanding how it will interact with your unique lighting.
