Why not use the Chantilly Lace on the cabinets to in a satin finish?

Without any additional context or photos, agree that chantilly lace is the correct choice for the cabinet color.

Thats what i thought too but my painter uses Sherwin Williams apparently theres a line that theres really good

Don’t use a stark white white on your cabinets. Either Chantilly Lace or the same color in a different paint line. Each manufacturer should be able to color-match.

I would do cabinets in Chantilly Lace and get a different painter if necessary.

What are they using to paint your cabinets? You need to ask exactly what product they are using. Professionals don’t use regular paint (even expensive ones). They use a finish that holds up in a kitchen.

HRW and Extra White "colors" are actually SW's untinted base paints, no colorant.

Chantilly Lace is only Chantilly Lace from Benjamin Moore; not going to get a qualified match in any other product.

This is the difference between the colors.

I suspect HRW isn't really an option.

Because all SW products that are *acceptable* recommendations for use on cabinets do not come in a HRW base.

*Acceptable product recs is not the same as an ideal product choice for cabinet application. E.g. professional grade product like Milesi or Renner.

Well, you’ve now had the “color expert“ provide you with the info you needed re: HRW and Extra White. FYI - I’ve heard that some SW stores will ”doctor” their Extra White base in order to provide “HRW” to a customer for a line that doesn’t offer it - BUT it won’t be an exact match to HRW.

Lori - I was drawing blank re: Renner and Milesi when I posted yesterday! I knew it was 2k (or sometimes 1k) polys - but I could not remember any product names!

FYI, Lori has many great posts about color - and how to select ones that will work with each other. It’s technical - but easy to understand.

I’ve searched ”Houzz” and “Lori A. Sawaya” + whatever issue I need an answer for re: paint colors - and have always found very detailed information that she’s already posted for someone else before (example, “how to select white paint color for trim”). I’ve kind of been her Internet stalker!

You could use Chantilly Lace on your cabinets - since it will be a different sheen, the color will look different on the cabinets when next to your walls (in a good way)

I may be more fun to stalk on Instagram. Because unlike here, I don't worry about being polite and playing well with others. 😜
