do you know the name and maker of the paint color?

You just need some nice warm wood floors and soapstone counters. The cabinets are fine.

We do have warm brown floors (you can kind of see them under the cardboard boxes there). The cabinets are by countryside and the color is divinity.

Thank you both!

I don't see any yellow but a white off . This is yellow

Your cabinets don't look yellow to me either. They don't look chalk white, they look like a warmer white, which is very pretty. Before you jump off the ledge, live with them for a bit. You may find you like the warmth.

FWIW, we went with a very similar color vanity for a new bathroom that we just had put in our newly finished basement. We went with a dark slate/grey tile for the floor. I think it turned out great. Sorry I don't have a picture to post right now.

Edit - our floor tile is from Floor and Decor and the color is called "anthracite". The link shows it a bit brownish in color but in real life it's dark grey.

The cabinet color is beautiful and soft, not harsh. It blends wonderfully with the wall color and the floors.

Thank you all, this makes me feel better. I guess I should have said "yellow toned" not actually yellow of course. I will look into the dark greys for flooring.

Your cabs aren't yellow. Your lighting is.

If you change your bulbs to a higher, cooler temperature (4000K) the cabs will look whiter.

what you have is casting yellow light. change them and take a new pic

If I'm interpreting the OPs initial post correctly, they already tried a cooler bulb temperature. But it doesn't hurt to check and try especially since it looks like the kitchen is in a corner without a significant source of natural light.

thanks miss enigma.. didn't see that. but she said she changed the Canned Lights. Did she mean bulbs? based on her pic, the light coming from that bulb is not a bright white. It's yellow. I'll also add that I don't think there is enough lighting. It's very dark against the wall.

I realize there are pendants, but it's still not enough task lighting overhead.

So, AJ, what is the bulb temp that you are using? if it's not over 3600K, then it's too yellow. try a 4000K or higher bulb.

Oh yes, I meant the bulbs. We tried a warmer light in the can because the bright white gives me headaches. However, I am going to try at 4000k or higher and take a new pic. Thank you!

It could be you need a cooler light or warmer walls.

I think your cabinets are beautiful - and with your paint. I love a soft warm white over cool stark white. Personal preference of course, my closet is full of warm white ;0)

gives you a headache? lol. 4000K mimics natural daylight. shouldn't bother you that much. give it a try with a good, quality bulb. Go to an actual lighting store if you have to, since they have far better selections than the orange box store (take the current bulb with you so you know the size)

also, do you have under cab lights? that will help. And what about a backsplash?

Are you doing a, sigh, white subway? Right now that darker wall color doesn't help much.

notice the lighting, the placement and how there are no yellow tones to the under-cab lighting or the recessed lights. it's just a natural white.

The partial wall…paint it the exact color of the cabinets. I bet it helps.

Not exact, but close enough for a visual:

I also think the kitchen is under lit. I'm SLOWwwwly plugging away on my own remodel in a space that's about 7 1/2' x 17'. I have 12 can lights.

I wired them into three separately switched groups:

- Countertop Perimeter

- Main Row Down Center

- Single Spotlight for Artwork Wall

Plus I'm installing under cabinet LED tape lighting.

Here is how things look with the cabinets partially installed. These were taken at night.

In your photo the uppers appear much more yellow-ish than the lowers, so I too think it is the light bulbs washing the fronts of them that are the culprits. Try changing them as suggested.

I hope a cooler light works, because I can't make those cabinets white by painting the walls. This is the best I could do.

I agree with the others and think its the bulbs... An easy test - take 2 pieces of the same white paper - tape one on the upper cabinet and one directly below on the lower cabinet and step back - if they look different from eachother then the bulbs are your culprit...

It looks great - really stark white cabinets are not as inviting...

@groveraxle - Always to the rescue to help with the perfect visual and with a dose of welcomed humor. :-) Not sure of your gender but I think I have a girlcrush? mancrush? on you! LOL.

I have gotten headaches from canlights also. I have gotten headaches from sun light also

I think your kitchen needs a lot more light. I would want twice the number of recessed lights. Did you wire for under cabinet lights?

I hate a dark space. Separate the light control with 2 or 3 switches and install dimmers. I like to be able to light up a room for emergency procedures and dim it down for relaxed activities!

Thanks all for your help. We do have undercab lighting and also will have three pendents. I think I have enough info here to make something work. I appreciate the helpful advice.

Sigh. I got lost in sadness back here.

"We ordered white cabinets not realizing there were three types of white. We apparently got the most "yellow" one".

If it's any consolation, they aren't yellow. They are a softer white: )

If you haven't chosen your tops yet, accept that your white is warm and soft and don't force a cold color on your counters...no matter how beautiful they are. It will bug you just like this does. I hope the bulbs give you peace :)

Thank you @luckyblueeye. This is helpful!
