The kitchen island is delacatus white, Wolff stainless steel appliances. There is a door from kitchen w windows that leads to outside- should that area be trimmed in sw site white (and door also) interior doors and trim need paint). There is a column that separated the family room which is a vaulted 2-story space. If possible, I’d prefer to start using white trim/doors/windows in this area and rest of house. What’s another option for wall color in both/entire space—Dorian gray or amazing gray?

Thanks all! Glad to know I can stick w/all Simply White - I had a million other whites and griege colors but the SW almost glowed. We've expanded all the windows so I want to maximize the light-and-bright feel. At the same time I love color so it's a little hard for me to walk away from a chance to have a big bold paint color in every room. We'll have a lot of old Persian carpets plus some changing out furniture and linens so maybe that's where I'll go a little wilder. @Judy Graham, the window pictured is staying and is sized for egress. Originally there was a second window on the wall opposite the map that was removed when we added a new master suite. The plan called for a skylight but due to the truss structure it will have to be only 14" wide, smaller than originally anticipated. Overall the room feels a lot more compact than it did before (despite the fact that we were able to raise part of the ceiling in removing a dormer.) So I'm thinking hard about the paint here for keeping things bright.

I tried a sample quart of Crisp Linen recently Because it is full spectrum ( no gray) there is a lightness and vividness to it that I really liked and I think would be good for low light situations (which makes most whites look dingy and gray) However depending on lighting, time of day, and what other colors are around and bouncing off of it - it can vary wildly in how yellow (or white, or in some instances a pleasant very light beigey-brown) it looks. Some people like the changeable-ness of full spectrum. Im not sure I do but like it enough to move ahead and try out on a wall or 2 - I think I need to see a wider area to understand what it will do.

You don't need to paint directly on the walls. Create a sample using poster board or watercolor paper. Paint two coats and let it dry. Then take that sample and hold it up to the cabinets and hold it up next to the sample flooring. Have you ever gone shopping and purchased a pair of pants or a shirt that you know will be the perfect piece to go with something you already own only to come home and find that the two pieces clash, one looks dingy or way too something. This is what you are risking by not following the advice to look at these colors next to the colors that you already picked. You can paint every wall in your house and until you see the color next to the flooring you will not know if these two will work together or clash. You can see the color in 20 other people's homes and not know if it will work with the finishes you chose for your home. So often I wish people would have asked what color to paint before they went ahead and painted and we had to tell them that the color doesn't work with their flooring, but here we are, your asking before painting, but won't listen to how it needs to be done. I guess you should pick the one you like best and we will all keep our fingers crossed that when you get the walls painted and the flooring installed and cabinets installed that everything works together.
