For reference purposes, I am posting before and after photos of 15 year old oak cabinets painted with BM Everlasting, a light creamy beige. Everlasting looks like a cool cream color in natural light during the day and deepens just a bit at night under artificial light. So if you are fearful of going stark white, a soft neutral beige may be an option for you. I tested several colors before settling on this one. I highly recommend testing colors first! You never really know until you test them in your room.

Note: I may be painting the walls with the same color (and losing the green), for a monochromatic look that I understand makes the cabinets almost look like built ins. Doing this would also make the beige look a bit darker since the beige would run up against the white trim.

Hope this helps someone who is considering painting their cabinets. It really freshened up an old kitchen!
