For what it's worth, I've found Valspar color samples to be very accurate to their actual paint color. And you can buy a sample jar of the paint for less than $3. I did that to touch up paint in my sister's new home, we had no idea what paint was used. But by using color samples & getting a sample jar, we got a perfect match.

Thanks for the input everyone! We would be doing a similar shade in cabinet paint to the trim paint--both would be shade of white. The trim will be a SW Linen White to match the interior windows--this is not a standard color they carry, it is apparently a special formula they make for Pella (the interior of the windows were pre-painted at the Pella factory). There will be at least 2 places in the kitchen/breakfast/great room area where trim and cabinet would be right against each other, and probably a similar amount of spots in each bathroom. So, I'm thinking from your responses and, given my answers to your questions, I probably should try to match the trim and cabinets--if we do an off-white shade on the cabinet. ontariomom, it's interesting that you feel glaze is not as timeless--I've thought the same thing about the gray, beige, green, etc. painted cabinets that seem so popular right now. My husband and I both really love the weathered or aged look that glaze provides. We did it in our last remodel and were very happy. However, I've heard others in addition to you mention that they feel glaze is not classic or is "out." So, I'm going back and forth on doing what we love (glaze) with chance it may look dated relatively soon, trying a painted "color" cabinet such as light gray or beige, or doing a painted off-white cabinet with no glaze. tcufrog, I'm trying to work with the cabinetmaker to get sample boards, so hopefully that will help the decision!

It's not likely you'll be able to find an exact match. You could try finding a tile with similar colors at a tile store, then buying exactly one sample tile from the manufacturer to carry around with you. Another option is to take photos of the tile with a small index card piece of white paper to help the camera color balance. If those two ideas don't work for you, consider buying a fan deck from your favorite paint store. It will have a vast number of beiges and tans.

So many factors to consider in choosing a new color. Sherwin Williams offers complimentary virtual color consultations. I used it earlier this year and found it helpful. You will need to use your phone or tablet during the appointment. The consultant emailed me a few days before, and I was able to send pictures of the room ahead of time. https://homeowner.sherwin-williams.com/colorconsult/?_ga=2.150239798.1694960993.1624475043-1191168829.1624475043
