Dover White (SW) and Grassland (SW) fix suggestions
Comments (0)Hello! First post! I just painted the powder room Grassland, and now the room feels darker. Could this be because the painter painted the ceiling Grassland also? (By mistake) There is white crown molding and door trim in Pure White. I need to lighten up this room somehow without repainting. Cabinets are oak and accessories are brushed nickel. The house has all new interior doors and closet doors, and they were all painted Dover White. This color now looks to me to be more of an ivory than white in one room, especially when set against bright white trim. I am thinking this color for trim and doors does not go well with lighter beige/ivory colors (BM Hawthorne 1/2 formula) as it seems to fade away in the master bedroom. The two other rooms have Restrained Gold and Sedate Gray, and in those the Dover White looks like the chip--a slighty creamy white but white. I can't paint all the doors over, and I left the ones in the hall with the original brighter white trim, so I have 2 questions: Does a differnt trim color from door color look dumb? And what should I paint the trim in the master bedroom? Sorry soooo long of a post!...See MoreSW paint color recommendations that go with SW Dover White cabinets

Comments (8)Oooo, I'd be careful as marble countertops don't looove overly creamy colours, and Antique White is CONSIDERABLY creamy - I wouldn't do it (I consult on this stuff all the time). Dover White is also a bit too yellow for the bit more yellow-orange look of Antique White and IS too yellow for your marble. The whole combo is making me nervous! Sometimes, what we want and what our home wants are 2 different things and between your trim/walls, I'm not feeling the marble at all - I'm sorry, probably not what you wanted to hear!...See MoreSW Dover White cabinets with SW Pure White walls
Comments (2)Yes. You're exactly right. I was just wondering if the 2 can jive together. I've painted some samples on poster board and in some areas looks great and in others comes off a little blue. My husband will paint 2 smaller walls in the area to know for sure. Thanks for your advice!...See Morehomechef59
