Paint color suggestions with Cambria Summerhill countertops

5 years ago

I’m remodeling my kitchen with cloud white shaker style cabinets, Cambria Summerhill countertops and a light grey tile floor (slight wood look). I’m struggling with paint colors - I tried the Cambria color match tool but wasn’t crazy about the suggestions. I love being in my kitchen and want it to be a”happy place”. I’m concerned about going too monochrome but want to make sure it’s coordinated. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Is the Cloud White of your cabinets BM Cloud White?

What were the suggested colors you did not like?

There is nothing wrong with monochrome. It is restful. If you want white walls they need to be as warm or cool as your cabinet color.

I believe the cabinets are he BM Cloud White, but will double check. Here are the paint colors Cambria recommended - while they go nicely, I was afraid of everything being too neutral.

New Cambria countertop defect?

sfp: Cambria has very specific written criteria as to what is and isn't acceptable contamination, however, they bend their own rules in their customer's favor more often than not. They'll probably send a technician to fix this for free, but I would advise you to live with it for a bit please. I had a potential replacement sink customer tell me "Absolutely not!" when I offered to drill and fill her bright red spot out of her white estone: You may learn to like it. I could have made the above disappear, however, you're always going to be able to find your repair if you look for it. Your guests and the home inspector for the buyer of your house someday won't though.

Torquay doesn't have any green. It has some cream/taupe veining, but that's about it. I took some photos of our counter (I was going to take it some with the island, but it has too many things on it since the project is still ongoing). The lines in the first photo are just shadows from the light above

your pic is tiny. ***sorry. Houzz has been having issues w/loading pictures for weeks. don't know why they won't fix it. I'm trying to upload pics to show your choices, but it's not working. Check back later and I'll see if I can add the pics to my comment*** why a stained island? and what kind of wood are you using? Brittanica is rather modern looking here it is w/medium, warm stained wood I like this one w/more of a lighter oak. maybe a natural oiled white oak or hickory. Ella w/Acacia floors, just so you can see the wood tone but I think it's also pretty w/the natural color oak flooring. ellesmere is cool if you have wood. would look great w/walnut and white (I don't care for it w/these old oak cabinets._ more of a modern style walnut would look better ignore the far left. the others would look great w/any of your choices Ella and a white oak, similar to the cabinet 2nd on left^

I like the silver fox BM that was suggested. I think once you have your other elements in the space that there will be other colors from dish towels to dishes to artwork. The elements that you are using all go nicely together.

Sallie have you seen that back splash in anyone's home? Glass can look more blue than expected. Since this is not a new build I think you can wait for the floor and counter top to be installed and choose other features then.

@emmarene9 -I havent seen the glass tile installed, but I see your point. I already see a slight grey tint to it.
