Help! Simply White looks too yellow
Comments (12)repaint my walls a light gray like Farrow and Ball Strong White is BM Classic Gray, will that help tone down the yellow in Simply White with the trim, cabinets and ceiling? that seems to be the case in my master bedroom. I still have the Simply White trim and ceiling in there and it basically looks white with the Strong White walls. Both rooms get the same western light. I seems to me that you've answered the question better than any of us could. Again, repainting with a warm color (not blueish or cool) will likely work best. Unless someone here is familiar (ie has used) either of those colors in combo with Simply white, I'm not sure anyone can answer -- looking at colors over the internet is too unreliable. my Navy island, gray sectional and blues don’t seem to work with yellowish walls. Navy is pretty neutral most of the time, IMO, and should work with Simply White. I have some cobalt accent pieces in that Simply White room and they are fine, and my blue/cream rug looks great. It depends, again, on WHICH blues and grays you have. More purplish or cool blue grays will not work, warm grays will. Purplish/lavender blues won't, navy and warmer blues will. If you are not replacing the sectional (I thought you said your were getting new) and it is a cooler gray that truly doesn't work, then you have to either warm it up/disguise it with throw pillows and afghans, or repaint....See MoreSherwin Williams Pure White? Benjamin Moore Simply White?
Comments (0)<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><md>Long story long our current trim is a discontinued paint line that cannot be color matched. Whatever I paint the trim colorwise will eventually go on our bathroom and kitchen cabinets. I have tried what is locally available. Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, PPG. I need something that will brush and spray well. PPG Delicate White Satin- dried to quickly and went on streaky due to the drying factor. Sherwin Williams Pure White in Emerald Urethane Semi for trim is awesome, paints and levels like a dream, however tactically the trim feels chalky not silky....See MoreIs "simply white" Benjamin Moore a good color for kitchen cabinets?
Comments (35)Thank you for sharing the comments and pictures. They are so helpful to me! My husband and I are about to start a total kitchen renovation, but it has come to a halt because I can’t select the cabinet color. Everything has been chosen and ready to go. If anyone could help with a color, that would be terrific. Attached is a picture of the quartzite countertop that I selected. It’s white with warmer grays and even some hints of cream. The house is a 1920s traditional and we have selected warmer whites throughout. All trim is SW Dover White. I feel like a brighter white is needed for this countertop, but I’m worried about going too white, yet I don’t want to go too warm and clash with the quartzite. The backsplash will be dolomite marble. Any suggestions?...See MoreDoors, Trim, Ceiling paint - Simply White Benjamin’s Moore or other
