the cupboard is original....the best one i've ever had! sorry i don't remember what i used on the base cabinets. it would surely have been from either benjamin moore (in the HC/hisorical color group) or farrow & ball. but it's always best to test colors in your own environment. start with chips, then buy a few quarts to test...and look at them in both natural daylight and at night. light really affects colors. have fun!
