Maybe a grayish/green untertoned cream?

Cloud white is nice. Although, hard to tell on a monitor.

I love these colors...Maybe you would like them too.

Glass Slipper Benjamin MOore would go with both floors

Mystical Blue BM

A creamy white that is super pretty and might brighten
up a space without windows.
Swiss Coffee by Behr

Some other great colors we've used are SW Sea Salt and SW Comfort Gray (both greenish grays), Raffia Creme by Behr, a fabulous color if you want something with just a hint of color.

I took a brief look at the Color Stories Deck
I have to order it to get a better feel - monitor colors are hard.

I'm leaning on something like Mascapone for the laundry room and something less creamy white --- Silken Pine for the main room.

I had recommended Mascarpone on your previous post based on the picture of the flooring. But now that I see that you have a white/grey tile and thinking of white cabinets I dont think Mascarpone is the way to go.

Since you have colors with both cool and warm undertones I'd move to a color as the other posters are suggesting; green, or blue, maybe even yellow. Not white.

The paint tests I made prior to doing some more work - I actually have marscapone, and light yellow-2022 for the laundry room.

My cabinetmaker just left - we debated on a couple of finishes/wood for the sink base (doing a farmhouse sink). I was dead set on white polished lacquer but after getting a crazy cost (it's laborous), I think we'll keep it in the same theme and do a pickled or whitewashed white oak for the sink base.

I DO think the cremish-whitish may go better in terms of contrast. The fooring is darkish, the white oak stairs will be finished in a similar hue in a darkish sorta way but lighter than the floor, and then the custom cabinets I have going underneath the stairs will be walnut cabinets.

So the *lighter* paint is not because there is no natural sunlight, but just to do the contrast versus the wood tones.

I do like the lighter green like the silken pine. And yes, I know color is subjective but methinks the white-creme may be a better color at the end of the day.

Thoughts, suggestions

BM carrington beige? i would not go dark. PRetty floor too!

I did a couple of test swatches.
For the light tile *laundry room*, I tested both Marscapone, Light Yellow 2022 and Silken Pine. Silken Pine way too dark but the colorings worked will with the hue in the tile. Light Yellow too *bright* of a yellow. On the swatch, it appeared softer. Marscapone was okay....

For the main room, Silken Pine a tad too dark. No natural sunlight. Love the color in natural sunlight. Marscapone one shade too white. Anything else ya'll might suggest that is 1 or 2 shades lighter than Silken Pine and or 1 shade a hint more creamier than Marscapone & or any other color alternatives ?

It seems wrong, but rooms with little light don't look brighter with light walls. If you want a light and bright room ... add lights.

A richer color scheme would look warm and inviting, while the pale ones tend to look dim and depressing.

I am color blind. Any suggestions on colors would be great ;-)
Like the title said...never been a fan of whites. But I would think the creme would good with the flooring no ?

Still in color limbo for both the laundry and main room. Nothing really says this is it. I do think the Marscapone is a good fit to a degreee.....Kinda like a sterile lightly creme white.

Main Room. I'm still not sure where to go on this......

Hi Chefwong,

I want to reiterate a previous posters comments about white paint in dark space; white won't make your room look brighter lighter. White needs alot of light to come alive. If you look at white rooms in magazines you'll notice they have a tone of daylight and they light the room professionaly. In dark rooms it's really better to go mid tone colors. What colors do you respond to? Blue, green, yellow? You might get a paint deck from Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore and browse the deck and see what you respond to. Also, the site below might be useful to help visualize colors in room. But note too that most of these rooms have alot of light when they are photographed.

I've got the BM , PL, DK and EK paint decks. It's like one having the 120 ct Crayola box of crayons when I have a better working with a 9 ct Crayola box .

Here are some crude pics I took. The quality sucks but the color is close to true to life

In order of color,
