Where I’d start
Agreeable Gray is a good sample when beige feels too tan and a cooler gray feels out of place with your wood. Start by looking just above the baseboard and near the darkest corner. The middle of the wall usually has the easiest light in the room.

Start at the edge where the wall meets the existing finish. Then step back and compare the whole room.

Accessible Beige

Repose Gray

Before you pick a sample
Choosing between shades?
Agreeable Gray or Accessible Beige with oak?
Put both samples right next to the wood. Accessible Beige is the one to try if you want more warmth. Agreeable Gray is the one to try if the oak already brings plenty of warmth.
See the Accessible Beige guideWill it look gray all day?
The color can read differently under daylight and warm bulbs. Tape the same sample near a window and in a spot you usually see by lamplight.
What white trim should I put with it?
Hold the gray beside the trim you already have before shopping for a new white. If that edge looks good, you already have a pairing.
What if I want a warmer beige than Agreeable Gray?
Try Natural Linen beside Agreeable Gray. Check both against the same wood or flooring and look at how each reads after dark.
