We had it mixed to match the paint we had above the chair rail in our family room -- and that was a color that we tried to match and tweaked, so I don't have a paint color name to give you. We were thinking coffee ice cream, but I'd say it might be closer to a butterscotch. I needed a color that worked with the blue in the kitchen and the red brick fireplace in the family room. Does that help?

White cabinets really give you a lot of options. What are you considering?

Hi lascatx, thanks for responding! Yes, that helps a lot!

Wow, that's cool that you worked out a color to go with both blue and a red brick fireplace! I'm having Cambria Bristol Blue counters, so am trying to balance a color that won't clash with that dark bluish-gray, and not make the kitchen seem too 'cold'.

Here's what I'm mulling through:
- The trim in the dining room next to the kitchen is Benjamin Moore White Dove at 150% (color matched by the local Ben Moore store as that trim is its current color).

- So, I'm thinking of having all the casings/trim in the kitchen be that same White Dove, just to make that decision easier.

- The White Dove seems pretty close to the Brookhaven Nordic White cabinets, so I'm looking for a shade that'll go with both that white shade and the Bristol Blue countertops.

I like the idea of having a warm tone on the walls, as long as it doesn't clash with the cooler whites of the cabinets and trim. (And then of course is considering the light in the room, both the window light during the day and then the electric at night).

Over the weekend, I looked at some varied color strips from the paint store and liked:
- Ylang Ylang (on the more yellow side)
- Mayonnaise
- White Blush (next to Mayonnaise on the color strip)
- Vapor (which is a little grayer than the White Blush)

Our dining room has one wall that's Linen White with the White Dove trim, which looks ok there, but the Linen White looks a little too cold when it's up against my Bristol Blue sample.

Ah, decisions decisions! There are just so many colors available. The Cambria site actually gives some Ben Moore color suggestions for their counters. For Bristol Blue, they suggest Refined, but that seems too gray in the room. (It's a northwest-facing kitchen.)

Thanks so much for describing your paint color--it helps a lot to hear that a color towards the yellows would work out.

The paint I just got for out trim was matched to my cabinet and we came up with BM Snowfall White. I thought my cabinets were pretty stark white until I saw that the trim paint was creamier than the primer.

I'm looking at repainting our entry and living room in BM abalone with accents in silver fox. The silver fox would be very pretty with the white cabinets, but I've only seen the Bristol Blue in an online photo, so I'm not sure how it works with that. It's hard to tell if it reads like a soft black or whether the blue is more pronounced.
