Need Paint Color Help

last month

So, I recently bought a house that has cream trim, cabinets, plantation shutters, and cream tile backsplash and floors in the kitchen, bathrooms, etc. I’m not a fan of cream mainly because I find it limiting when choosing wall paint colors. My past two houses had light grey walls with bright white trim and while yes, I know supposedly grey is out - It worked amazingly with my decor (think coastal vibe). I’d simply paint both the walls and trim if it werent for the fact it would require expensive other changes (countertops, toilets, backsplash, tile, plantation shutters, etc). I think the cream trim etc. could work but I need some sort of wall color that would match, still keep the coastal vibe and could be used throughout the whole house (I'm not a paint rooms different colors girl)! I'd really like some sort of gray or maybe another complimentary cream color. Any advice would be welcome!!

It’s a bit hard to comment without pics of the space - but there could be some good ideas from Kylie:

I also am a gray / white girl and always find beiges and creams hard to work with. I just moved into a great house all redone completley but not with my fave gray walls but an off white . The blessing is the trim is all white . I often use Healing Aloe for situations where wall color is aPITA to choose I cut it sometimes 50% for a tiny hint of agreen that is really neutral maybe get a sample can and a large poster board paint two coats and see if it will work for the other stuff you have , Theboard gives you the real color and allows you to move it from room to room. BTW the other thing is change all the lighting to LED 4000K to keep as little yellow out as possible in the lighting

Is it a yellow cream, a pink cream etc etc. There are paint colours and even lighting that can help neutralize the undertones of colour but pictures of the space will certainly help.

Consider a light blue wall color.

You can still have grey walls with cream trim, it is just a matter of finding a warm grey and one with undertones that don't clash with the cream undertones.
