white paint question

12 years ago

We're painting our kitchen white - probably "Greek Villa" from SW. Its a warm bright white, to allow art to jump off the walls. Our ceilings are a warmer white " Timid White" from BM. How important is it that all be the same white? The ceilings are done, I have to decide today to finish the painting by tomorrow. Thanks in advance to all respondes.

I don't know the colors you are referencing, but I have found that when you have two white colors that are close in tone and proximity to each other, the warmer/ yellower one will look dirty. I would paint both the walls and ceiling the same color white.
