On the freshly painted (ugh) wall is Palace White. on the leftmost sample on the mantel is Papaya, center is Cloud White and right is Chantilly Lace, all Ben Moore.

I had been leaning toward Papaya, which has a bit of orange undertone that I felt coordinated well with my furnishings, but was afraid it might be too something-or-other, so I chose the Palace White instead. The two whites are candidates for trim and wainscoting.

After spending 5 hours just on the top half of the walls yesterday, the Palace White looks faintly lemon-y to me, and disappeared almost completely at night with all of the (warm) lights on. This morning, the color is a bit more creamy, even with the overcast day and low light in the room.

I’m thinking I made a mistake (again) and should have gone with the Papaya. I didn’t really want to use the Chantilly on the trim, I like Cloud White better and have used it many times in the past. Should I just suck it up and repaint? I do this a lot, and my husband is going say he told me so.
