I am in the process of building and I am having a horrible time with the kitchen cabinet color. I chose navajo white (sherwin williams color) as my trim and ceiling color. After a long time I decided on having the cabinets in the same color as my trim. The cabinet maker is also making the book case in the den. When it arrived it was very obvious that the color which was suppose to navajo white didn't match my trim at all. My bookcase was more of a butter creme color. When the sunlight hit it through the window it almost looked yellow. Apparently, laquer paint is hard to color match to latex. I have NEVER heard of anyone having such trouble matching paint on their cabinets. The guy went and tried to color match again this time taking a shelf from the study bookcase which the painter painted with navajo white color. I got a sample cabinet door today with the new color and it still doesn't match up.

I have three choices...1)choose a different color 2) Have them glazed 3) Let the painter spray paint them with his navajo white color.

I'm scared of choosing a different color. It may not turn out to be the same color. I didn't want my cabinets glazed. He did provide me with a door that was painted in the color gone wrong color with glaze on top. It made them darker and would match IF I wanted them glazed. I'm also scared of the painter painting my cabinets. I really would like the lacquer paint the cabinet guy would use. I'm not sure what kind of paint the painter would use. I know Sherwin Williams has a paint that is supposed to be for cabinets.

I'm not even sure of what question I should ask. Do any of you have navajo white trim with cream colored cabinets? Any one have a paint color suggestion that would give me creamy colored cabinets? What would you do in this situation? Any thoughts appreciated!
