Christopher, does BM even sell Satin Impervo any more? They don't show it on the website. I bought some about a year ago and I had to special order it and it was only available in quarts. Maybe it is still available in other places besides Cali ... ? Their new Advance line specs say that it won't yellow as quickly as oil based, but the Impervo said non-yellowing. I don't know why they discontinued the non-yellowing Impervo for a paint that could yellow in the future.

@Lori A. Sawaya Happy Thanksgiving !! I am looking to get some idea before appointment as first time buyer for Kitchen. I am looking for 2 tone kitchen cabinet, Thanks a ton for above thread, upper could be PPG Dedicate white and lower equivalent to BM Hale Navy, would you please help to find equivalent of BM's Hale Navy on PPG, I checked Cavalry & Annapolis Blue both are near to that but I am not sure, if those are accurate. Ceiling : PPG Dedicate White, Trim - PPG Dedicate White , Counter - White & Grey Granite, Cabinet : Upper Fixture : PPG Dedicate White, Lower : BM Hale Navy equivalent., Island : BM HN, South Facing large open concept Kitchen with Family Room, Breakfast Nook : PPG Whiskers equivalent to Agreeable Grey. Attached catalog pages for reference.

Do you trust your contractor? If yes, allow him the freedom to do the best job he can for you, using his favorite products. If no, find a different contractor you can trust. Familiarity with products and suppliers allows a contractor to deliver consistent results. Occasionally, there will be a manufacturing or storage issue with paint, and if the user knows how the product should perform, the problem will be obvious. However, if he is working with a new product, he may just continue working and hoping that the problems will go away as the product cures. When it doesn't resolve itself, the contractor has lost time and money and now has a problem surface to correct before proceeding. All the major paint manufacturers sell a range of products, aimed at different markets, different price points, and different quality levels. The top line from any major manufacturer will be more than adequate for your purposes. A successful paint job is not just the product used, instead it is a combination of product, prep work, tools and workmanship. If you stay towards the top of the range in all those aspects, the final result will be good. Go low end on any component and the final result will not be satisfactory.

Zory, there is definite contrast, enough that you know the walls are not painted the same color as the trim. But it’s not super high contrast. I am going to attach a few photos. They are not ideal but I am out of town and these are the best that I have on my camera currently. I could take some better ones for you if I were at home. My kitchen cabinets are painted the same color as my trim and my ceiling is painted Heron Plume like my walls. If you focus on areas where you can see the white trim or cabinets next to the painted wall or ceiling, hopefully you will get an idea of what it looks like.
