breezygirl, thanks for your input - it really does look yellow green in this room, no matter what time of day. I don't think I'll be using it, too bad I stupidly bought an entire gallon already! I did pick up a bunch of samples of whites from BM and Behr (while I was at HD to pick up the sample tile) to study over the next week or so, and thankfully I have not done all the work of cabinet painting - I'm just out $45 for the gallon of White Dove, better to cut my losses now and repaint the ceiling when I do the cabinets rather than go to all that work and not be happy. The subway tile is a soft white but not as yellow-green as the White Dove, and looks GREAT with the James River Gray and the appliances etc. I'll be taking pics throughout the project to document, I'll either be really happy at the end or I'll have filled my kitchen with a lumpy mass of concrete! To me, this is great fun although there is often a point about halfway through when I just wonder why I'm doing it, don't think it will ever come out right... but when it ends up well in the end the feeling of accomplishment is worth it. It's actually the second time I have made a major mistake purchasing white paint. At least this time it was only 1 gallon. When I was painting and doing flooring in the whole house (had less than 14 days to finish everything and move in as we only had a short term apartment after selling our condo) I bought *4 gallons* of Super White for the ceilings for some silly reason - having chosen Mascarpone for the walls (I thought I had to do "plain" white on the ceilings. Partway through the first gallon I realized it looked terrible. I just hated the idea of wasting that much money on the paint, but could not stand the idea of finishing the job that I would hate. So I bought more Mascarpone and did ceilings the same color (which looks great) and tried to sell the Super White unopened cans on Craigslists to no avail. Ace wouldn't let me return them even for a store credit or restock fee :( I ended up donating it. I thought I learned my lesson but I was so sure that White Dove looked lovely in everyone else's photos and was such a universal favorite (and who could not like the name) that I would love it too. Lesson learned - test the color in your own space even if it's "just" white! On the other hand, they do not have test sizes for the whites in my paint store and a quart is $17 vs $45 for the gallon - so it's better just to buy the gallon.

according to the BM website for white dove, http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/oc-17 there are 4 "similar colors" Oxford white, steam, vanilla milkshake, and Swiss Coffee. Although, maybe you want to take something from the Summer Shower pallet. Patriotic White might achieve what you are going for.

If you don't have anything showing you the color of these cabinets then I would first give the company a call. Its a real good possibility someone else has inquired about matching their colors. They might even have some formulas for you for BM paint line or something. If worse comes to worse just get started with priming, caulking & filing nail holes. If you can get something close maybe you can put one coat on & then do the last once your cabinets arrive. Prep is most of the work in painting so you can still get ahead. Good luck!

Hi Julia, I purchased Levalor Designer Colors Whisper #19470101. The light filtering is a good color match with the paint. The blackouts are darker, and maybe slighter gray-er due to the backing, but I'm happy with how they coordinate and function in the bedroom. I used blinds.com. Two arrived fine, one was damaged and had to be remade. They reordered immediately but it still took several weeks to arrive. Hope that helps!
