BM Cloud White cabinets

10 years ago

My cabinets are being painted BM Cloud White and now I am concerned they will be too creamy or yellowish. I was thinking Cambria Devon for counter top but now am concerned the dark gray will bring out the yellow. I appreciate any thoughts or advice. Thanks!

    Do you have any pics?

    No. The cabinets are not installed yet. It is a very popular color, I thought maybe someone was familiar with it. Thank you Lily.

    My cabinets are Cloud White and every day I'm grateful I chose that color. It's definitely creamy and luscious. My counters are dark gray quartz and my floors are warm red oak. I love everything together.

    Time of day and light conditions affect how your cabinets will look, from whiter to more yellow. They are not yellow at all. You don't say whether your kitchen will be more traditional or contemporary. Mine is neither. Cloud White has a warmth and homeyness. When my kitchen was done and I had the usual negative reactions people have with their new stuff, I second-guessed if I should have gone with Simple White, my other favorite. Soon I realized that CW and I were meant for each other.

    Thank you Linelle. So glad to hear you don't see yellow. Sounds like you have a beautiful kitchen, too.

    Linelle, it's a bit off topic but why do we have negative reactions to new things? I seem to second guess all of my choices. Should have done this, could have done that. Would this have been better etc etc

    is it just human nature?

    Lily, I think it is human nature. We spend so much time, money, energy, brain cells on getting something "right" and "perfect" and often it doesn't measure up to our idealized vision. Or the slightest imperfection sends us into a fit of rage or despair.

    We build up the importance of something (stuff) and it's pretty natural to experience let-down when something is 1/32" off somewhere.

    It is weird how people fixate on what's not perfect. I read a quote on one of these threads that said "chasing perfection is a fools errand." So true. It stuck with me.

    OP- I am sure your choices will be lovely. Enjoy your new kitchen :)

    I believe it is human nature. I'm a full time artist. Won awards, have work hanging around the world, teach, been written up in art magazines, etc and yet there is not a single drawing I've done that I didn't think could have been better "if I'd only have..."

    At some point though we need to let go of the idea of perfection because nothing in life or nature is perfect. We have to instead look at the big picture instead of focusing on minor details that only we could ever see.

    As for the OP, don't second guess yourself. As someone else said, the color will change throughout the day depending on the light hitting it. I'm sure it will be fine and beautiful.
