Warm or cool tone?

[sweetoj]

I am so bad at this.....

Do you think this is warm or cool? I am looking for a nice warm (kind of muddy/earthy) tone for my kitchen that is not too dark.

If this is too cool, do you have any suggestions?

There's absolutely no way to tell from an online swatch what color a paint actually is. Go to the store, grab every tan card that appeals to you, then take it home and see how they look in your light.

Thanks! I would certainly do that before making a final decision. Khaki's can be so tricky. I don't want it to look pinkish, nor do I want it to be too gray. Even when a swatch is on my wall, I have a hard time looking at it going "this is too yellow, too pink, etc....."

You have to compare them against each other. Tape a big piece of white paper on the wall, then take painter's tape and tape up all the tan swatches. When you see them beside each other on a white background, you'll see which ones go green, lavender, etc. Pull down whatever colors you don't like as soon as you realize you don't like them. It's important to do this on a white background and not your walls if they're painted a color now.
