white cabinets on white walls in kitchen help
Comments (4)gsciencechick - I have seen pictures of white wainscoting and antique white walls and it looks very elegant. White is a common color for trim and cabinetry, so that's what I would choose for your cabinets. Then go different on your walls. I'm not sure about the wall color. Ask at the Home Decorating Forum....See MoreXP: need help with white kitchen cabinets on white walls

Comments (10)@Gaby Buller Take a look at SW 7042 Shoji White, for the walls. You can definately do a beautiful white palette. Since all color has a DNA (Hue family, Value and Chroma), you can be guided by framework to create a palette that is harmonious and pleasing to your eye. When pairing whites, a good principle that works is having at minimum 0.2 difference in Chroma (last number) between your whites. A little spacing on the color wheel also helps. This principle ensures there is enough contrast between your whites so that one will look more neutral than the other, and they don't look dingy or dirty. The other way to add contrast is to change the sheen level. For example, you can play with sheen levels on BM White Dove and use it as the Trim Color, in a higher sheen than the cabinets and use BM White Dove in Matte on the walls. This will also provide the contrast your eye needs without looking dull. Other colors that may fit your vision and work with the above mentioned framework are: SW 7013 Ivory Lace SW 7010 White Duck SW 9586 White Sesame BM OC-13 Soft Chamois...See MoreDoes SW Shoji White look pink?
Comments (2)we have paper covering the floor that is red/brown That stuff is the bane of my existence. Yes, it is possible that is where the pink is coming from. It's evil. Ok, so that may be a bit dramatic but I've seriously thought about manufacturing that paper myself - in a neutral gray. Munsell N7 to be exact. Can't be sure it's pinkish or not until the paper is removed....See Morechris45ny
