looking for a white/off white cabinet color for Q glacier white quartz

4 years ago

I bought msi glacier white quartz countertops thinking I was going to paint the cabinets a greige. After sampling many, nothing looked good in our lower light east/west kitchen. I dont love the white cabinets we have now because they feel cold and dingy without great light. Now I’m trying warmer white / off whites. i like bm swiss coffee but in some lights the counters look a little dingy or too similar compared to it. I have bm simply white on my walls in hallways and living room but it turns very yellow in lower lights. It doesn’t bother me but I’m worried that would look odd on the cabinets. Is there a color slightly lighter than swiss coffee? The cutting 25% did not work. I looked into white heron but it seems to not be great for low light

@Susanne Woolley its a long story, but we eneded up having to return the glacier white because it was an oddly printed slab. we have msi trevi because it was one of the only options availabe. i went with bm white dove. it has enough warmth and grey in it to look good in both east and west exposure. kitchens not completly finished but im happy with it so far! the trevi is a littke darker and warmer than cabinets

counter sample is balancing on cabinet painted swiss coffee in first photo, the door to the right is soft chamois but thats too dark. The second photo is sapmlle with swiss coffee in a different light, the white cabinet to the right is swiss coffee 25% lighter which is nowhere close to swiss coffee

Have you looked at BM Cotton Balls? I haven't used it myself but several posters on this forum have described it as luminous so it might work well in low light. It has a higher LRV than Swiss Coffee.

We’ve narrowed our countertop choices down to Glacier white and Blanca Statuarietto, and are also going back and forth between SW Greek Villa or Extra White for cabinets. I’m curious to read any feedback you get on paint recommendations with the Glacier White. It’s really beautiful!

Greek White is a warmer white you might wish to look at.
