Great that you informed about the orientation of the house. With two exposures it is a toss up. I concentrate on which is the dominating light, South or East?

South light controlling, I would choose B.M. Gray Owl or B.M Grant Beige.

East light controlling, I would choose Weston Flax.

Your new house looks lovely!! Love the windows and the woods - what a great buy!!

I've been reviewing similar paint colors like crazy for my new house as well and looking at very similar colors to yours. I have tested so many on my walls that I have lost count!!! It is a huge investment so you don't want to mess it up right? We are also painting everything the same color walls and ceiling. Our base boards are white so we will keep those. After about a month of other renovations, I have to make a decision now. And I think I'm almost there but testing one more color - putting it on the walls tonight. Anyways, here is what I learned in the hopes of helping you....

SW and Benjamin Moore are good paints but BM is a higher quality. So to get the most bang for your buck, you should go with BM. It has higher pigmentation for the paint color to last and the consistency of the paint goes on the walls much smoother. If you get testers between SW and BM, you will see the difference.

Play with sheen's - I haven't done that yet, but so many people have told me to do so.

With vaulted ceilings, if you are going to paint it the same color as the walls, it will make the room warmer. It is a personal preference on ceilings white - personally, I'm not sure if we are going to like it but it will save us $700 and I decided to go with a color that will work with a ceiling if we decided to change the wall color later. Painting ceilings are a pain!

Okay.... to answer your question: SW Alabaster was way too stark white for my home. I started testing BM after that and I liked Navajo White but that would require ceilings to be painted white (I decided). I am trying BM White Dove tonight which is suppose to be a universal all around good color. I even read it in the Architectural Digest as a fave. I hope it works for my home (although I'll go back tomorrow several times to test it out with the light, etc.) I also really like BM Sugar Cookie - but a lot of folks on here told me it was way too yellow. I didn't see that, but after searching online, it doesn't seem like a good choice. If I was going to go with SW, my next color to try was creamy. Paint for the trim and doors can all be the same color as your walls but with a higher sheen. Or what I read is BM Chantilly Lace is really pretty.

Here's a website that I have learned so much from! https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/

But seriously, I've had the most stress picking out a paint color then anything else in our new home. I didn't hire a consultant but with contractors in our house, I don't hesitate to ask their opinion. I had a gal over from the Closet Factory and she specialized in SW with her other clients. She was a huge help in seeing how undertones work!! I almost regret not paying for someone to help but I'm spending so much money on renovations and now organizing our stuff and buying new stuff for our new home that I just really didn't want to. I'm smart - I can figure this out! Well a month later... :) All the best of luck to you and congrats on your new home!!

A darker grey.

A warm white everywhere but the kitchen, where I think the finishes require a pale gray.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts! I'm leaning toward acm's suggestion of a warm white everywhere but the kitchen, and doing a pale gray there. The frontrunner right now is BM Swiss Coffee for all the other rooms with Swiss Coffee trim and BM Simply White on the ceiling. Thoughts?

For the kitchen, it's tricky because the cabinets are a cream color (not obvious in the photos), but the countertops and floors are quite cool and gray. What is a light wall color that would harmonize those two different elements well but also complement the rest of the house's Swiss Coffee walls?

Would BM Pale Oak do the trick? Or maybe BM White Dove?

I forgot to mention that there is a skylight in the kitchen, in case that should be taken into consideration.

So I had to share because I ended up paying a designer to come in. Well worth the money and stress reduction!! We are going with BM Swiss Coffee for the walls and ceiling. She also helped me with painting the fireplace color and our bedroom which will be Swiss coffee on the ceilings and BM Healing Aloe for the walls.

Bonnie, thanks so much for sharing what you decided to do! Would love to see what it looks like after it's done! I'm still torn and weighing BM Swiss Coffee, SW Alabaster, versus a peachier off white to counteract the green through the windows.

It’s really worth it to bring in a designer for paint colors. It is so much more difficult to pick colors that really work than it seems .
