I like SW Navajo White for off-white walls (not BM, it's too gray) and plain ol' off-the-shelf white-white for trim. We used white-white for trim in the previous house and it worked well with everything because it had no undertones of anything. I had the Navajo White with plain builder-white trim in the rental house. I neglected to take pictures of the actual decor in that house so I only have it appearing in the backgrounds in pictures of my critters! Here's one - ignore the mess as we were beginning to pack to move, and do your best to look past the two cuties... Our current house has antique white on the trim and, no insult intended to those who have it and like it, I think it looks like dirty, yellowed old white oil paint.

Kath, this may help you. I read the blog and essentially you have to have an understanding of how colors mixed lean to warm undertones or cool. But what she also neglected to say is every color has a LRV-(light reflective value or how the paint will reflect light) Benjamin Moore Natural Wicker Color OC-1 Paint has a Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of 73.8 and a Cool undertone, while Benjamin Moore Muslin Color OC-12 Paint has a Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of 69 and a Warm undertone. Muslin will appear a bit darker. I'll link my favorite site for BM colors. While it doesn't post formulas, it does give you the undertone and the LRV of the color you are interested in by clicking on the paint name. I have found it very useful for any of my painting because it helps isolate what level of lightness your eye is drawn to. I also like to vist Glidden too because they also list LRV. If you want to read up on LRV over in Home Decorating do a search for it or search for "Funcolors". She is a beloved paint guru. HTH! Here is a link that might be useful: BM paint values

Hi Gmnolen, Did anyone ever get back to you with an answer or have you picked out a color on your own? I decided to use Cabinet Coat to paint my cabinets after reading all the rave reviews about it and I'm also looking for a creamy white color. I didn't realize that it is only available in a few colors. My local paint store doesn't carry this brand, so I'll have to special order it and I want to make sure I pick the right color since I won't be able to return it! Any words of wisdom for me? Thanks :)

We have cream/off-white kitchen cabinets and I painted our trim BM Natural Wicker to match them. I also had the same color painted in our master bedroom for several years.
