ISO of a light tan paint color...
I need paint help! I'm thinking about doing a light tan/cream (like first picture) for the nursery. It's a smaller room, so I want something bright/light. The furniture will be white/light blue painted. I would love to do a gray (like second pic) but I think since we have a dark brown chair, we should stay with brown/cream walls.
Now, the problem is I love the first pic but I have no idea what paint color it is! (or would you do something a bit darker, like the 3rd?)
Which color would you do...and anyone have paint color recommendations?

Re: ISO of a light tan paint color...
I'm really not crazy about all the true grays running around. I think we're all going to look back on this as our Wet Concrete Period and wonder WTH we were thinking.
SW Moderate White (check the master bath of cosmetic updates site in my siggy) looks somewhat close to the first one.
SW Sandbar in the paint bio (lemme know if it's not there - it's from my 3rd house) would be worth considering for the 3rd color.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
That's going to look really nice! We have that same color in our living room and it looks terrific. It has VERY slight grey undertones and looks very good with brown wood. The color is Linen from Restoration Hardware. (Warning, it won't look the same on the RH web site-- it looks almost white on my monitor, but it is actually a really nice light tan.) We got it color matched with Benj. Moore paint because the RH paint was very thin and drippy. We love the color!
Good luck!
The first picture looks a bit like Behr's Ocean pearl. We used this color in our kitchen and I really like it. It really pops against white.
The second color you have is nice too. That picture is of BM revered Pewter. I was really close to using that on my daughter's bedroom, but we ended up going with Behr's Wheat Bread. It is a browner griege. I'm really happy with it and will probably use it else where in out house in the future. (not my pictures)
