Funny, I had posted my (final???) color choices but a bunch of the posts seem to have disappeared. The walls, window/door trim and upper cabs will be BM Revere Pewter (might do walls a bit lighter). Base cabs Gray pinstripe or one color deeper on that strip, which is a blue-gray and similar ot a Farrow & Ball color Down PIpe that I read was used in woodwork in old English homes. Ceiling will be a Silver Sage type color, there are a few I like. Grout is a med/dark gray. Oceanna, I wouldn't post comments like that if I were you. That's really a sick, thing to say. I will refrain from saying what I really feel about your post. Not all grays are "suicidal or depressing" and neither are my kids. I don't know what experiences you may have had in your past to find that comment appropriate, but it isn't.

I looked at all of your helpful suggestions on the largest paint chips each store had available. Here's what I tried out with painted samples and how they looked with my marble: *White Dove--sickly yellow-green undertone *Gardenia--very pretty but had a slight peachy undertone *Mascarpone--too yellow *SW Snowbound--very close but had a slight pink undertone *a few of my own formula concoctions *color match to the Kraftmaid white cabinet sample door I haven't returned yet And then I finally tried Simply White. Winner!! It's perfect. Chantilly Lace was a very simple white, but too stark. Simply White is also a simple white and has a touch of yellow, but not enough to turn it yellow like Mascarpone. It's just warm enough not to look sterile, but not so warm it's yellow. And now I will use Simply White for all the trim in the main part of the house since every room is basically open to each other, and the trim on the cabs will run around the entire ceiling. Thank you everyone! Fori, Drjoann, Pps7--loved seeing your rooms again. (Fori, tell me again why you left that great space! ;))

Hi, I have some pics in my inspiration files that might help. Have you gotten samples and set them up in place? That would give you an opportunity to see them in your kitchen's lighting, etc. Also, what are your countertops like? In the meantime, here are some pics: This one is a starker white tile [traditional kitchen design[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-kitchen-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_709~s_2107) Maybe slightly starker tile, could be the lighting [traditional kitchen design[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-kitchen-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_709~s_2107) by new york architect Austin Patterson Disston Architects Definitely stark white with creamy cabs [traditional kitchen design[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-kitchen-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_709~s_2107) by chicago kitchen and bath The Kitchen Studio of Glen Ellyn Matches cabinets, counters are whiter than tile [traditional kitchen design[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-kitchen-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_709~s_2107) by other metros Witt Construction And you can't go wrong with a match [traditional kitchen design[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-kitchen-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_709~s_2107) by san francisco general contractor Mueller Nicholls Cabinets and Construction I think I like the slight difference between the creamy cabs and starker tile best. Although if you have slightly off white cabs, it helps to consider the undertones of the cabs (pink or yellow?) when making your decision. Also something to keep in mind: I'm no expert....... hopefully, you'll get more weigh-ins!

The stock subways both carry are more of a creamy white. If you want bright white you can special order Dal arctic white from HD or whatever the american olean version of that color is from lowes. I did a backsplash for my parents for a rental with the off the shelf Interceramic from lowes (I think in some areas the Lowes stock AO, in others Interceramic) and it was almost exactly the same color. The Interceramic one might have been a tiny bit whiter but I can't remember The other difference was that the Interceramic one had separate lugs instead of a continuous lug at the edges and was slightly flatter than the Dal one. The quality and price were the same.
