need help choosing a white paint for cabinets

12 years ago

I am building a new home and want white cabinets (and maybe walls!) I have been looking on your site for ideas. Considering Benjamin Moore Super White, Simply White or White Dove. Don't want the color to be too yellow--but warm. Thank you Jolynn

You'll only know what white is best for your home when you paint samples of each color you are considering on large poster boards and look at them in the light of your new home.
You could also consult with your Benj. Moore dealer who can advise you on color direction.

Just had my cabinets painted. Love them! Used Sherwin Williams Greek Villa. Perfect white!

It's also important how the white works with your wall color.

Thank you Carolyn! I am really leaning towards Simply White as I think Super White may be too white. Any suggestions you may have to a little bit of a warmer wall color with simply white? Most of my walls on the main floor are wood-tongue and groove. Thank you.

just another suggestion... (and, please note, I haven't actually "seen" Simply White" yet,... so just another color for inspiration:) > "Sincerely White" -it's an old Duron paint, but I believe SW has it in their paint swatches...

I just had the interior trim of my new house painted with BM Frostline...very warm white despite its name!!

...I should add, not only the trim is this color but all of the white cabinets in my kitchen, pantry, dining room built-ins and master bath bead board and cabinets... So you know I liked this white!!
