I didn't get any other responses, but wanted to post what I went with. I tried Kelly Moore Navajo White (because we have that in my home and I really like it). Looked so blah in the rental house! I think it looked like what you'd find to color a wall near the side of a busy street or freeway that covers graffiti. I went with Benjamin Moore in Himalayan Trek. It was much darker than I would have guessed I would like, but it turned out to be a "real", though neutral, color. I was very pleased with how it turned out and don't even "pay attention" to the color of the floor.

4100k LED lights. 2700k is too yellow. 5000k is too clinical.

Can any color experts out there tell me if SW Moth Wing would be a good choice for the island? Would it give an ample contrast to the SW Dover White. First, I loveDover White. I think it's a pretty white. Some whites are "okay" and some are "pretty" and I think Dover White is pretty, so you could have done a lot worse, IMO. Dover White belongs to the yellow hue family. So, the data validates exactly what you're seeing. If I painted the walls SW Accessible Beige with a PPG Delicate White Trim, would that clash? I'm hoping the paint color I choose will help neutralize the yellow I see. They would not clash. Those three colors go together well - they relate nicely. And it is possible that Accessible will lessen how yellow Dover White looks. Moth Wing doesn't really fit in. It's too close in terms of hue family and chroma to Accessible Beige and I don't care for the relationship on paper or lookin' at the chips. I know Moth Wing and Accessible Beige are on the same strip but that doesn't really mean anything. Color harmony is not built-in guaranteed just because colors are on the same strip. Very often the similar color attributes that land colors on the same strip are the very reasons they don't go together - Accessible Beige and Moth Wing are a good example. If you're not happy with Balanced Beige and don't want to just leave it and see how it works out, then I'd get off that strip of colors and go another color direction.

I like two-toned kitchens in general..and I love white plus wood even though I agree with chocolatebunny that on this particular picture the contrast seems a bit harsh, at least to me because of sheer size of the kitchen, I'd like softer transition in such a space..but in any case it is quite beautiful. Whether it'll work or not-the two-toned look- will depend on size, light, as have been mentioned, and more than that-on layout. One needs approximately even amount of lowers and uppers to make the look work, or will indeed feel too chopped Very good point on deciding what color the tall cabinets( pantry, oven, etc) will be -should be well-considered. Great advice from cpartist as usual-always consider everything you plan in the kitchen in general context of your house White/light Quarzt is cool(I have light off-white Quartz myself) and is usually very clean-because you'd be prompted to keep it as such, every crumb, you'll see it, and will be complelled to clean it right away. -be prepared though to see seams when installed. You'll forget about them soon but first time comes as a bit of a shocker even if the seam is actually quite good. You see it like a very thin pale pencil line. "Who drew on my counter?" lol
