Which white for trim/cabinets?

12 years ago

We are remodeling our master bathroom and it's time to start painting some trim and doors but I am stuck on the whites.

All our trim and bedroom/bathroom/closet doors are SW Dover White. Most of the time I am fine with it. Sometimes its a bit creamy/yellow. But I've also been refreshing it as I've redone some of the rooms and that seems to help.

My biggest problem using Dover in the master bathroom is the white subway tiles for the shower. They are a bright pure white. They are from Build Direct and make Dover look really yellow.

I've been considering using SW Pure White for vanity and trim. Trim and tile will not be directly next to each other. It has almost zero natural light (1 small north window). But where do I stop the Pure White. Master bedroom will be getting some updates after the bathroom and trim will also be repainted in there.

Would the difference between Dover and white tiles be noticeable? The closest they would be is the backsplash and vanity.

Other elements are walnut wood look tiles and chrome fixtures. Countertop and accent tile are not finalized yet.

I forgot to take a picture of the tile and Dover painted trim to post.
