Ceiling Color - BM Cloud White, Atrium White or SW Pure White?
Comments (2)I have used SW Pure White and really like it. If White Dove has more yellow in it (not sure if it's a creamy white) then you could get away with BM or SW matching Swiss Coffee for the ceiling. It's not a pure white, just a tinge warmer but still very crisp looking....See MoreSW Alabaster or SW Dover White for kitchen cabinets?? Help!

Comments (20)@Abby Marshall - glad the pictures showed up. I am currently renovating a fixer - will take a few more years until I am completely finished, but I have a color palette planned for the house and am slowly filling in colors on my master plan as I complete each room. When I moved in I knew I would be changing almost all the colors in the house, (Painting everything, replacing flooring and cabinetry. I looked around and decided on what must stay. My foyer had purple, red and green slate and I have a huge fireplace wall that is between the foyer and living room. The brick matches the outside of the home, so when someone walks up to the front door and looks through the foyer window it has the same brick inside and out. Those were really the only colors that were staying that I had to work with. Luckily, I love purple, red and teal and own a lot of art and things with those colors. I will be painting the living room, foyer and halls in a neutral that has not yet been finalized. I just got the original wall paper down and even with a good eye for color the gold metallic fleck wallpaper was making it hard for me to see what the neutrals would look like in these 2 rooms and get a feel for the way light will play on the walls (10' window facing east in the living room and 8' window facing west in the foyer.) The bedrooms and bathrooms will all be combinations of purples and teals. I look at the paint color as a back drop for the other things that will be in the room - bedding, lamps, art. I don't want something too brilliant that it fights with things, but I want enough color that it looks like I picked a color and not another neutral. I picked BM Quiet Moments (LCH 81 / 4.5 / 150 for my master bath, was planning BM Beach Glass (LCH 75 / 4.3 / 172) for my guest bath and bedroom, but ended up with SW Silver Mist (LCH 74 / 4.4 / 152) for the Guest Room. The hue of Beach Glass at 172 was too blue and was going powder blue where the sun came through the window. The 152 hue at this chroma level was a great match to my flooring in the foyer. So if you stand in my hallway you look one direction and see my foyer with the blue green flooring and a light that I painted a similar, but slightly more chromatic blue green. If you look the other direction you see the guest bedroom and the third direction the guest bath. Looking down the hall you will see my office. The floor color I used in the guest bath and guest bedroom is very similar to the purple slate in the foyer. The rest of the floors throughout the home complements the darker flooring - same design, but a light taupe (Purple undertone) vs the dark purple gray. I can pick any bedding I want as long as it has a bit of the blue green color. My office will be the transition from the blue greens to the purples that I want in the master bedroom. My living room will transition from the blue greens to a truer green in my dishes. Here is a snapshot of my color plan as it stands right now - still have not decided what purple is going in the master bedroom or how I am incorporating red into the kitchen, just know that when I do these rooms that I plan on doing red and purple. Hope this helps you with how to plan color selections for your house....See MoreSW white paint (pure white or alabaster) in new build
Comments (6)I have had a really busy week and didn't look at Houzz. Hope what I have to say isn't too late for your decision deadline. When deciding on cabinet color you want to choose something that works with the counter you are choosing and works with your overall color palette. Pure White is one of my favorites for cabinets because it is just slightly warm and doesn't limit your other choices as much as either Extra White (more cool / gray) or Alabaster (warmer/ more yellow) If you knew you loved fall colors, warm gold, greens and burnt oranges, I would say Alabaster would work better with the overall palette. That is not what I am hearing from you and not what I am seeing with your other finishes and flooring choice. I think Pure White (left) is much prettier with your flooring than Alabaster. I think Pure White is prettier with Taj Mahal than Alabaster. Pure white will be easier to work with than Alabaster as you make other color decisions for your home. Here is a picture of Taj Mahal with Alabaster and yellow walls. It is a lovely combination. I think pure white would have been too white with the yellow walls and golden floors and may have felt stark, too modern. This is a kitchen with Taj Mahal counters and "Pure White" cabinets. Not specifying SW Pure white, but what I would expect Pure White to appear next to Taj Mahal....See Morekarin contini
