Hello Kindernut,

You may find a pretzel-like beige in our 2011 Top Paint Colours video:

Good luck with the painting!

I used that colour in my son's room, its very nice:)

I chuckled when I read "pretzel" colour. Then I looked in my entryway and main floor powder room and thought, yup, that would qualify as "pretzel" coloured. LOL.

I used a Pratt & Lambert colour called Arizona. It's a warm medium brown colour - I actually matched the paint chip to a brown eggshell that I liked.

A great neutral that works well with red accents is BM Lenox Tan.

Have a look at Auburn or maybe Russet shade, depending on how dark you want it.

Take a look at BM Woodstock Tan. A friend of mine painted her main floor this colour and it is beautiful.
