Anyone tried SW Wild Bamboo?
Comments (4)I just looked at my sample of Wild Bamboo and "yes" it definitely has a greenish tone. When you pick a color and are going to have it mixed, ask the person doing the mixing what colors are in the paint. That sometimes helps.

Comments (6)We used SW Natural Choice on walls, and BM Cloud White on trim (a warm white) but use what you love or paint a small area and see what you think.

Comments (3)Thank you for your input. Unfortunately, we have to pick the paint color before lighting is in. We are also having to select wall color from out of state making it extra difficult. I am about ready to go back to one of my tried and true - Agreeable Gray or Repose Gray. If I select off white and should use the same color on trim then Alabaster would be the best option, I think Peary white will look off for the doors and trim in other areas of the house....See MoreI need a color in between Alabaster and Pure White SW
Comments (6)These colours are all from the same Hue Family neighbourhood. Cold Foam and Steam sit between SW Pure White & SW Alabaster in terms of Value (lightness) and Chroma (colourfulness) They both have less Chroma than BM White Dove which read as ‘too yellow’ for you. That makes them less colourful than White Dove. Behr Whisper White is lighter than BM White Dove but has the same quantity of Chroma (colourfulness)...See Moreeirlim
