Just to follow up, Kilim Beige on the walls with Alabaster trim/ceiling looks great in the new house! I love the colors with the dark walnut doors/cabinets and bronze fixtures. They just hooked up electrical so it looks nice with artificial light as well. Sometimes I regret not looking into SW Pavilion Beige, but I don't know why I do that to myself...what's done is done and I should be so relieved that Kilim Beige looks great! When they first painted I thought I saw peach undertones and I panicked. But I did not see that again. It is definitely warm, but I can't detect any real undertones. Flooring isn't in yet, so I'm curious to see how the color will change. patty_cakes, you wrote in a previous post above: "As for the color/colors, just a very pleasant, warm tan that has a beautiful candlelight hue in the evening. Good luck. ;o)" I thought of your comment when we saw the house for the first time last night with artificial light...kilim beige does have that beautiful candlelight hue in the evening! I will post pics soon. Thanks again to everyone, I appreciate your input and advice!

Not sure if this will help you, but we used Chantilly Lace on all our trim and crown in the reno. Love it! We used Ben Moore Ice Mist on the ceilings. It does have a slight blue cast which worked beautifully with the wall colors we used and our slightly more ivory cabinets. I might do the Ice Mist at 50% next time (the remaining rooms to be painted). Good luck!

@Beth H. :@Flo Mangan Yes, exactly what Beth said. I think it looks great but I am afraid Alabaster will look yellow next to the bright white cabinets but I agree - I can always use different light temperature to make it look less warm! Also I'm totally open to other Sherwin Williams white paint if anyone has other suggestions. I'll also ask if I could potentially use BM paints and try Simply White but if it's very similar to Pure White, it might not work in my house cause Pure White looks blue. Simply White may not though as it has yellow undertones. Not sure if this makes a difference or not but the contract says the walls will be a satin finish? Do you think that reflectiveness would make it look brighter?

No, i think it is doable. Can you decide after the walls are painted? Once it is painted, you could try swatches of natural linen and icicle and nice white... and colors adjacent on the same strips.
