What color to use?

last month

Should I used what or ivory outlet receptacles and light switches?

We are getting electrical work done before we move into a condo. We won't paint for at least 6 months so I don't have wall color selected yet. It will be some version of warm white. White won't match if the wall color is too creamy, but if I get ivory it could end up looking too yellow.

Is white the safest choice even if it ends up popping against an eventually creamier wall color? I also always have resale in mind....

White. So you found a place? Big relief for you I'm sure.

I would choose white. White tends to look creamier with time. I wish it didnt, but, in your case, it will probably be just what you want.

Well thanks for the resounding and unanimous vote for white.

@kcooz07 - Yes, we close on Friday and it will be a tremendous relief! This place is so near my mom and dad's apartment. It needs a tiny bit of electric and simple plumbing to make it move in ready.
