What furnishings and their colors will go in the space? What Lighting will be in the space. I realize you are under construction, but will you have recessed lighting? Under cabinet lighting? Pendants, etc. That floor tone will suck up color and with your covered porches that will greatly diminish natural light. I would consider BM Oxford White walls. It is a great white and will bring nice contrast without messing with more grays. You need sample boards that you take to the construction site and see what they do in what light you do have. I assume you are at least framed and closed in?

do you have an option to see the color first in your space, with your other selections if possible? say our cabinet maker made 4 samples for us.. (I didn't like any lol even though I myself chose the colors. They were beautiful, but looked wrong, put vertically. Luckily he had another eight or so samples from previous jobs and was kind enough to let me have them for a week or even more. I was dragging these samples around like a monkey with her glasses..turning them, putting in this light, that light...In the end I went with somebody else's custom color. I didn't pick between whites, but I'm not sure picking between whites is easier. Light and surrounding materials change your perception of color)

I do like Pure White for the trim. But I don't like Pure White for the cabinets as my Sea Pearl Quartzite needs something with a bit more warmth. I tried Alabaster, but it's a bit yellow and I like Greek Villa but it's still not quite right. The Aesthetic White looks very pleasing to the eye with the quartzite, but I am concerned what Aesthetic White will look like on acbinets. I am doing SW Grays Harbor for the Island. I don't find much about Aesthetic White on houzz, pinterest or instagram. All the colors the designer came up with are very pretty but I am having a hard time visualizing.

We closed on our house today wahoooo! I only got to spend about an hour there but looked quickly at the samples for trim/doors/ceilings. I think I've narrowed it down to three possibilities: BM Simply White, SW Extra White and BM Super White. I thought about BM Chantilly Lace too. Basically, looking at the finishings, my first gut is that BM Simply White looks the best. I just worry it may look too yellow once up on everything. At least that's what I read (and you know how reliable the internet is). First question: has anyone had experience with BM Simply White? Does it just read warm or do you see the yellow in it when it's one trim/doors/ceilings? So I may go that direction, or wonder if I should go with a cleaner white but something close. Something still a little warm... As for the runners up, from what I can see SW Extra White and BM Super White are very similar but Extra White maybe looks a little warmer? Maybe because it has more chroma? Is this understanding accurate, Lori A. Sawaya?? And it seems to me that the order of warmth would go SW Extra White, BM Super White, BM Chantilly Lace... is that a correct reading? Again for context - East/West exposures with a lot of shade. Wall colors aren't chosen but would likely be something along the lines of BM Edgecomb Gray, BM Ballet White, BM Chelsea Gray, BM Natural Cream. Daughter's room will be BM Opal. I'll try to take some pics of the finishings tomorrow but would love any thoughts on this. Thanks!
