I have never liked that beige it always reminds me of fleash color . As for a white to work with it maybe pure white from SW I would check out the Creamy inside Mixing whites is always a bit of a challenge since they all have undertones I like a pale grayed/ green for wall color it is neutral but always looks good with whites .I love silver strand SW

We recently painted all the living areas Alabaster in our home and did regular white ceiling paint on the ceilings. The crisp white ceiling does make the yellow tones in Alabaster more obvious during daylight. Just keep that in mind. Alabaster needs a warmer white on the ceilings. I would just paint it Alabaster though. Can't go wrong there. Like mentioned before, you can always paint the cans if they bother you.

Beth H... That is too funny... ‘’copious amounts of alcohol’’... and I believe it! In fact, I would hazard a guess that alcohol may not be the only ‘creativity facilitator’... ;) Seriously though, I have personally not had a drink in many years, but I remember being drunk... on more than one occasion, and there is no way, no how - even in my most inebriated states - that I can imagine I would have come up with ’’Salty Dog.’’ I really think I would have needed something stronger to come up with that... But then again, I am sure these people are under a lot of pressure to come up with catchy names... amazing what you can do when under pressure! It is funny, though... the BM ‘’Cheating Heart’’ is funny, too... amazing. Thank you for your response.

I have been looking forever for the best white paint for the majority of my house. To include ceilings walls in the kitchen halls living Room dining Room family Room. I got several Ben Moore paints and 2 weeks ago got a sample court of Sherwin Williams alabaster. I love Greek villa also and wanted to see what it looked like at a 125% because it just seems too light to me I wanted something a bit richer with a little bit lower lrv around 80. Tonight I popped into my local Sherwin Williams the same place that made the alabaster and I asked for Greek villa at a 125%. The girl told me the formula and I knew that Greek villa at least I have another gallon of enamel paint Greek villa has black and deep Gold in it. She fed me some mumbo jumbo about it being a different formula. She was also unhappy that I was there at like 10 till 5 because they close at 5 never mind that I leave my house at 8 o'clock to work all day and I hadn't even been home from work yet. I took the paint out to the car and thought this doesn't really look like Greek villa at a 125%. And lo and behold when I got home and put them side-by-side the formulas are exactly the same it's the same kind of paint Sherwin Williams cheap satin court but those paint formulas are exactly the same. Do we think that a mistake was made with the Greek villa 125%. The only way for me to be sure is to go to another Sherwin Williams store tomorrow and inquire about take both cans of paint both courts and show them. I do know this because of the constant screw UPS this is not the 1st time I've had difficulty with Greek villa. I had my whole house painted during an extended stay away and when I get home I don't think they put any color and into the ceiling paint I believe my ceiling paint is high hide extra white ceiling paint with no colorant in it. I will be going with a Benjamin Moore probably dune white or white dove at a 125%. But I want my money back even though it's $7 I deserve my money back for the mistake does anybody know if it's possible that those 2 formulas would be exactly the same I don't think they would be because I know Greek villa has black in it. thanks to the sw color experts on the forums.
