Whole House White

Hello! I am hoping for some advice on what undertones I should look for in a white paint.


We have been renovating our house and will be moving into it in a few weeks, so I am needing to pick out a whole house color. I have spent many hours looking at paint samples, reading blogs, etc but I was hoping to get some advice with more information about the house. Some of the rooms (especially bedrooms) will likely have a color change after we have been in the house for a little while. We will have recessed LED lights through the Living/Dining/Kitchen, but also additional lighting through lamps/island lighting/over head lights. LEDs are all on dimmers, and have the capability to switch between color temp, from 2k to 5k I believe.


1) The house does not get a ton of natural light, so it can feel pretty dark after late afternoon. The house is surrounded by trees currently, so it gets a lot of green through the windows.


2) The kitchen cabinets are KraftMaid Dove White- the living/dining room is open to the kitchen. Counter tops are "Ocean Storm" Quartz, appliances are stainless steel. LED under cabinet lighting.


3) None of the bathrooms have natural light, they all have white vanities, toilets, sinks. Two bathrooms will have LVP flooring in a medium wood tone.


4) I lean towards a more MCM feel - my husband hates the farmhouse feel.


I am worried about picking a white that will play too pink or yellow against the kitchen cabinets, or get too green from reflecting the surrounding trees. I am leaning towards SW High Reflective white but haven't gotten any samples (kitchen cabinets not installed yet, so I won't know how it will actually look for a while)
