Colors are not selected without a reference. Can you post images of the cabinets and the countertops? Otherwise I'd select one of these for the total house.

Thank you, I added photos of the cabinet color and the approximate color of the countertops.

My fear with the white paints is that it will be terribly washed out with all the natural light, is this possible?

hard to give you exact colors without seeing the furniture/flooring, art, rugs.

here are some color combos that you try:

These colors should work w/the alder cabinets (the granite in the pic is Alaska White)

Try looking at these warm and welcoming colors from SW:

A Frame homes have typically so few actual walls, white paint seems a natural for the home. You have plenty of other items in a home to add color, like your floors, furnishings wall decor etc.

what climate do you live In? do you want the interior to feel very much a part of the nature outdoors, or a delghtful surprise that is your personal expression, a space that you love to share with others? Do you have a lot of art and photos you’ll want to display on the walls?

We have a lot of the same finishes you’re talking about for your new home. We have used Benjamin Moore Gray Owl. It is a beautiful neutral. Good luck and Congratulations!

I chose kitchen cabinets nearly that exact color. I found that white shades for the countertops were a bit startling in contrast to the natural wood tones so I went with a brown tone quartz (Silestone Ironbark). I have seen other examples using black and that also worked well.

But go with what works for you.

cant you wait to pick paint until you see the space? how else will you know what looks good?

It's difficult to select paint colors from online information with no photos and without being in the space. If you can't afford to hire a color consultant for one to two hours (which would probably cost you a few hundred dollars), then select one white color for the whole house. Benjamin Moore White Dove is a nice neutral white that would probably work with your kitchen cabinets and provide a good backdrop for the rest of the space. Or Simply White, Chantilly Lace, or Decorator's White. I would not go with anything pale green, gray or beige with your cabinets--it could turn out terribly wrong.

When we built our vacation home we had the same dilemma--the living room, dining area, foyer and kitchen are open to each other. The builder wanted a color-fast. So the whole house was painted white (I can't remember now which one!) We changed bedroom colors as we decorated those rooms, it's easy to do bedrooms since they are separate rooms and relatively small. That would be the easiest path to take.

Good luck with your new home!

I would avoid any color in the blue family (or even neutrals with blue undertones) because it will make your cabinets read more orange.

I find this “color quiz” helpful. Take it a couple times if you find yourself leaning towards more than one answer for any of the options. It will give you a good starting point.

We have a lot of the same natural wood elements as well, flooring, stairs, cabinets and trim with black steel railing, & beams. We asked our architect to help us find a modern white and he recommended Benjamin Moore Cloud Cover OC-25. It is a quiet background that compliments the wood tones and is very versatile.

Can only comment on colors I’ve used and love that I see mentioned here. In the master with a large skylight, and in a south facing office/guest room- BM Pale Oak. In the master bedroom, large room but north facing - BM Collingwood. BM Balboa Mist was an option for both rooms from a professional but I always saw a lot of pink in it. A cousin did her new kitchen great room in Balboa Mist (hated it, same reason) and then immediately had it redone in Collingwood. In my daughter’s room, also north facing with a small ensuite - BM Fog Mist. Her choice, not the professionals but I think it works well with her more creamy bedding and tiles. Still a “griege” but not as “grey”

We built a cabin in the mountains of Arizona. Rustic alder cabinets, doors and baseboards. Tongue and groove ceilings in great room, hickory floors, south facing, all windows, lots of light. At the time, I won a charity auction for a consult with an interior designer. She suggested three combinations. We settled on Dunn Edwards Chaparral for the walls; Celtic Linen for the ceilings that were not wood. (We did the whole house these colors.) The color looks great in all types of light. I will send pictures if you are interested.

My comment is very simple... we painted our living room and kitchen in Behr premium one coat color “Dolphin Fin”. It is such a very subtle light neutral grey that we ended up painting the entire interior with it. Yet, each room keeps its own individuality based on the accessories and complimentary colors used and the natural light coming in from the windows.

Go to your clothes closet, and look at the colors that repeat... pick a favorite bright color and a favorite neutral and then keep those in mind when looking for wall colors.

Ben Moore. Edgecombe grey. Very neutral goes with a lot!! Our customers love it!!

I suspect that white will look very dated in 3 years, just as it did 20 years ago. Go with a warm gray - you might even want to consider a camel to be more fashion forward.

Grey is not "cozy and comforting". Go with greige, tans, natural neutrals in the brown spectrum. The link you sent shows a more casual, cabin style. Using colors in the brown spectrum goes along with that style home. I do not understand the use of grey as a neutral. Depressing.

Agree with eliminating grey (especially dark grey ) as neutral. It's the "in " color right now, but bet it will look dated - and depressing - in a matter of time.

I am a fan of actual color and contrast though I do love the majority of the light and neutral color suggestions. I have lighter wood tones like your cabinet and I have white trim and lighter countertops. I went with SW Needlepoint Navy which I would describe as a dusty navy. I have patterned chairs in a darker gray, a basic beige armchair and a dark brown leather couch. I think it feels warm and inviting. I think an A frame can handle color on the walls with all of the windows.

The advice i always give is to balance the color with the natural light ie if ur room has a southern or western exposure choose a cool version of whatever color u like. North or east would b best painted in a warm tone of ur color. the other advice is to paint poster boards with several sample choices and view them at various times of the day on ur walls and with lighting on in the evening. U will b surprised how light affects color. Be aware that lightbulbs are available in cool to warm tones Measured on the kelvin scale which would be on the package. Above all take your time. I had my house painted a neutral white and as I lived in the house I made decisions carefully, I also made mistakes. Most of all remember it’s only paint. Also very important to measure when u buy furniture. I moved in with what I had and lived in the space for a while. Furniture is expensive take care and take ur time. Good luck

Benjamin Moore's white "Chantilly Lace". I've used it the last 2 houses and will probably continue to do so.

Also, remember if you're totally stressed out white will fit the bill for now. If you want to add some color later you can do that. That's what I did this last house: walls, trim and ceiling in Chantilly Lace. I may paint the bathrooms at some point, but it's not a burning urge. Take the pressure off - white is very livable, and bright: the moment you add a color to your walls you make them darker.

I totally understand the overwhelming task of choosing one or a few wall paint colors from the vast number of choices out there. I have just finished painting the house we will move into next week. I cannot recommend heartily enough to buy a few sample pots of the wall paints you think you will like on more than one wall of each room in which you will use that particular color. You've been given some great suggestions by pros already in the above comments. I also painted the home we currently live in, and used the cooler tones of SW Crushed Ice and Repose Gray on walls, and SW Pure White on all the trim. In the new house, I went a bit warmer with the beautiful greige BM Edgecomb Gray, and again used SW's Pure White on all trim. In the children's room, used BM "Quiet Moments" (maybe a little subliminal suggesting???) which is a gorgeous blue with a tad green, and looks beautiful with the Pure White trim.

Congratulations on having a new home for this brand new year! I wish you all the best!
