50 Shades of Beige

Beige, just like any other color, can have many different undertone colors to it. You can have a blueish beige, you can have a greenish beige, etc. Predicting how a particular color will turn out once onto the wall can be a challenging 

One tip I can propose is to compare the color you're considering with others that are of a different color family. Having various shades of beige together will be much easier to tell which ones lean more towards the blue, green, red, orange or purple side.
