@cat_ky, it's in the design phase and nothing is built. It's a new home that hasn't started yet. So I don't have a photos to share.

All the walls are supposed to be painted not an accent wall. How far up to the ceiling is the question. Thank you

why not do the walls, crown and ceiling in a bright white? Decorators white, super white, are all bright whites. Then for the baseboard and window trim, do a soft gray, or sage or blue or even charcoal. they did the crown w/these two

Sorry I've been MIA. Been super busy. So, my analysis of the DNA (scientific notation) of the colors we have been discussing is as follows. First, these all fall into a category of being able to "contrast" with the Greek Villa cabinetry. Greek Villa has a LRV (light reflective value)- or how light or dark a color will appear (0 being black to 100 which is pure white and reflects all light). Greek Villa has an LRV of 84. So very reflective on that scale. All the others that have been suggested are all in the 70-73 range. That means they are not as reflective so would give enough of a difference to be at least somewhat contrasting. HOWEVER, your light in your space both natural and artificial is very important to these values. Since you are struggling a bit with this, I suggest you consider ordering a "package" of samples the "warm whites" from samplize.com They have sets that are available and much easier to use than making your own samples and buying many sample pots of paint, poster boards, brushes, etc. and then having to dispose properly of left over paint. I use these all the time. I think the kit will really help you and you can see these colors much better in your own light conditions. Otherwise, we are just hunting for that "needle in a haystack". Hope that helps.
