How to fix white cabinets turned yellow

Our walls are White Dove satin with White Dove semi-gloss trim, all latex Paint provided by independent painter using Sherwin Williams paint mixed with BM color. The cabinets are also White Dove, but the cabinet maker used BM oil-based paint. The cabinets were installed last December, but the doors just got installed in early September(Long story). The house has no electricity, but the kitchen has lots of natural lighting due to two large windows on south and west side. The cabinets have turned noticably yellow, but you couldn't see it until the doors got installed. See pictures. The cabinet maker took a door and cabinet to the Benjamin Moore store along with a Can of paint. The paint store says it's a function of the oil-base paint turning yellow with a lack of light. It's the same paint on the doors and cabinets. The recommended solution is to match the new cabinet color and repaint the doors. Another solution is to leave the mismatched doors and let them yellow to match. Our concern is we don't want a yellow color with our white Carrara marble. Also, the wall and trim color won't match. Plus, what happens if the cabinets continue to yellow and now the doors are mismatched again? (Or don't yellow equally if we leave doors as ai)? I will say the yellow was not obvious until the doors were installed.


Any advice?
