Which BM white with Caesarstone Blizzard?

12 years ago

Hi all,

I have chosen Caesarstone Blizzard and for my countertops and am trying to pick a Benjamin Moore white for my cabinets. I know everyone with white cabinets agonizes over which white to pick, and I have read a number of threads on the topic, but has anyone here done white cabinets with Blizzard and can share with me what you chose? People at my architect's office say they are leaning in the direction of Cloud White, but they think I'd also be OK with White Dove (I saw an example of this combo on Houzz and it looked great, but pictures can be deceiving). I was also considering Simply White. I keep thinking I'm almost done making decisions, but they just keep on coming and getting more and more tricky!

Hi Leslie, I ended up talking to a color consultant who looked at all of my whites and recommended Benjamin Moore White Wisp OC-54 for my cabinets. It plays really well with all the different whites (counter, fridge, sink, backsplash, walls (Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee OC-45), trim (Benjamin Moore Decorator's White CC-20, and ceiling (Benjamin Moore White Dove OC-17).

I am one of those that agonized over which white. Do you have a sample of the Blizzard? I would get posterboard or foam board & paint big samples of those four colors & put them next to the Blizzard. If you can get into your kitchen space (a new build?), try the samples in your kitchen's lighting.
White Dove leans toward gray. All the trim in my home is White Dove. I never saw the gray until my new cabinets were installed (not White Dove).
Simply White is a popular color on GW. As is Cloud White & Chantilly Lace.

Thank you guys. Yes, I should probably put Chantilly Lace on my list as well. The funny thing is, we did have our painter make us large samples of these 3 whites, but we can't tell them apart! What he did was paint big pieces of wallboard, which was already white to begin with, and I think it just overpowered the new colors. I suppose we should get some pieces of wood for him to do for us instead.

I might also add that it's not just the Blizzard we're talking about here, but I'm also having a white subway tile backsplash and a white refrigerator as well, so that's a lot of whites to coordinate. I just want them all to play well together. I saw this picture on Houzz today which is somewhat the direction I'm going:

The designer said that she colormatched the cabinet color to the fridge, which I suppose is another option for me.

Hi! Fun to revisit this old thread. We did go with Benjamin Moore White Wisp OC-54 for the cabinets, Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee OC-45 for the walls, Benjamin Moore Decorator's White CC-20 for the trim, Benjamin Moore White Dove OC-17 for the ceiling. It sounds like a lot of different whites but we think it all goes together well!
