That's definetly not white. It looks like an off-white paint that's been glazed, but it's hard to tell on the iPad. Whites are difficult to pick. I suggest getting a sample of the granite and taking it to a Benjamin Moore store. Pick several chips that look good and take them home. Look at the BR and chips in your light. Then get a sample can of the colors your like best and paint some poster board (or your cabs if youre ready) in big swatches. Hold them up in your light in the kitchen with the BR. Then ignore. Try to catch the color out of the corner of your eye and see if one pops out as the best. Granite slabs vary a great deal within a particular name, and paint varies with light. What looks good in a photo may be all wrong for you.

Here you go: I confess, I've never quite mastered the official directions for doing this, so I use the tried and true HTML method. You can skip #1 & 2, because you already did that part. Start with #3. 1. Open a Photobucket or Flicker or whatever freebie photo storing site you like. I randomly chose Photobucket and it's really easy to work with. 2. Load your photos from your camera onto your computer. From Photobucket (or wherever), hit the "upload" button and follow the directions. 3. When you mouse over one of your stored photos a box comes up with a list of things like "direct link," "html code," and "image code." The one you want to click on is "direct link." It begins with "http://" and ends with ".jpg" 4. Whenever you want to place a photo in a post, you type in this script: <img src="Your URL location here" </img> Paste the direct link address you copied from your photo between the quotation marks (replacing "Your URL location here"). 5. If you want to use a photo from somewhere else on the net, click on the photo and a list comes up which includes "copy image location." Click that to copy and proceed as above.

Foxes, I don't know if you are still following or have given up, but Id have mixed feelings about wallpaper. It would allow you to have a more easily removed look in case you don't' like it -- if you put it up to be removed, and the investment would be more in time than cost. But I keep going back to the stained glass. That's the wow in your staircase, and you have nice woodwork. You don't need all that detail on top of detail. Chances are that painting the walls of the stairwell will lead into more halls or rooms needing to be painted too. What about using your ombre idea but starting with a warm gold at the bottom and fading up to a pale honey? Get a sheet of luan (very thin plywood) and cut it into pieces the size of your risers. Painting them and then attaching them (velcro or silicone some to mind) would allow you to work at a table or a more comfortable place, not worry about them getting marred while drying and curing, work with the shading until you get it just the way you want it, not worry about getting paint on the stairs, remove them without stripping wood -- all the advantages of wallpaper, but on a smooth surface without the detail you don't need. It would be a way to test the idea you originally liked. I would just do it with color (what you probably liked in the first place) and be easy to work with or change. Get one pint of the darkest color and one pint of white and you'll have plenty of paint to mix yourself.
