We are redoing our kitchen.

looking at benjamn moore OC 26 for the wall but it seems a little ”white”. how do i go a touch darker but stay in same tone?

in this case the undertones in your all white kitchen / the lighting / and the amt of warmth vs cool undertone in backsplash are key. Blues and greens are nice together. With color in backsplash tile only in your space, you might want a wall color w green undertone...keeping it light . OC 26 doesnt have enough real color if you ask me...its just passable and youd have to be certain your undertones in all the whites work with it.. Can you veer into green ?

these are from around the same Yellow Hue Family neighbourhood as Silver Satin.

they are somewhat similar in Chroma, (colourfulness) but darker (lower Value)

The paint will be done, I'll try for the SW natural linen, I really liked it. However, I have another problem: the laminate top of the countertop started to unglue itself. So now I have to change the laminate for the countertops. What best color would you recommend so it would match the cabinets and the floor?
