Help with cabinet paint color! BM Natural Cream or Nature’s Essentials

4 years ago

I am desperate to figire out what the paint color is on these cabinets. I have samples of BM Natural Cream and Ballet White that are in the running for my cabinets. Ballet White is pretty, but i think it is a little too light (especially when i look to this photo for inspiration, which the cabinets appear darkwr than ballet white). I love Natural Cream, but I am a little worried it is SLIGHTLY too dark and SLIGHTLY too cool. This has led me to order samples of both BM White Sand and Nature’s Essentials.

My cabinets receive light from the south, but the source of the light is from windows that are somewhat far away (but not blocked by a wall or anything). I would say most of my decor and wood tones are neutral to warm (but no reds), and i have a few warm-black furniture pieces.

Anyone want to take a stab at identifying this paint color?

I did an image search and found the original blog post from the designer, Lindsey Brooke Design. I looked her up on instagram and went through every comment on this project to finally find the cabinet color because I just had to know too. LOL It's surprisingly Sandbar by Sherwin Williams. Looks so much lighter and less gold here than I would have expected, but maybe the images are filtered.

Is it a factory finish. If so, and you know who made them, you may be able to find out the exact color that way.

@cat_ky what makes you say it is a factory finish? everything i read from the blogger, who has yet to identify the paint color to the people who have desperately asked, said they were repainted in a greige color

Yeah, unfortunately looking at paint colors online is a futile exercise for several reasons.

Maybe Lori could suggest a lighter color than BM Natures Essentials which is the same as BM Natural Cream. I have that on my walls but not cabinets. It’s a very lovely color.

@paynerobin Can you tell me what trim color you used with Natures Essentials/Natural Cream? I just had kitchen cabinets in Natural Cream installed and now struggling with wall/trim color. Would like a white/soft white paint color for walls and trim. I was considering Cloud White, White Dove. I like Swiss Coffee but not enough contrast. I know I do not want Chantilly Lace on the walls,,any recommendations for a white that goes well with Natural Cream/Nature Essentials?

@loriasawaya Lori, do you know of best white paint colors for walls that work well with Ben Moore Natural Cream cabinets-south facing room? Any guidance will be so appreciated.

@eevartt We have BM Natural Cream cabinets too! I think we are going with SW Alabaster for our walls but we get Northern and NW light in our kitchen so we needed something warm and I wanted a slight contrast. Studio McGee used natural cream in the Mountainside retreat house. Good luck!

@courtneyh thank you-I ended up using Ben Moore Cloud White and it looks great with Natural Cream. It is very soft but still has a contrast. I tried Swiss Coffee first but there wasnt enought contrast between the two for me.

We have natural cream cabinets. What do you all suggest for the walls? Our trim is a bright white. We are considering using natural cream for the walls at 100% or 75%. Thoughts? Any other suggestions?
