breezygirl, thanks for your input - it really does look yellow green in this room, no matter what time of day. I don't think I'll be using it, too bad I stupidly bought an entire gallon already! I did pick up a bunch of samples of whites from BM and Behr (while I was at HD to pick up the sample tile) to study over the next week or so, and thankfully I have not done all the work of cabinet painting - I'm just out $45 for the gallon of White Dove, better to cut my losses now and repaint the ceiling when I do the cabinets rather than go to all that work and not be happy. The subway tile is a soft white but not as yellow-green as the White Dove, and looks GREAT with the James River Gray and the appliances etc. I'll be taking pics throughout the project to document, I'll either be really happy at the end or I'll have filled my kitchen with a lumpy mass of concrete! To me, this is great fun although there is often a point about halfway through when I just wonder why I'm doing it, don't think it will ever come out right... but when it ends up well in the end the feeling of accomplishment is worth it. It's actually the second time I have made a major mistake purchasing white paint. At least this time it was only 1 gallon. When I was painting and doing flooring in the whole house (had less than 14 days to finish everything and move in as we only had a short term apartment after selling our condo) I bought *4 gallons* of Super White for the ceilings for some silly reason - having chosen Mascarpone for the walls (I thought I had to do "plain" white on the ceilings. Partway through the first gallon I realized it looked terrible. I just hated the idea of wasting that much money on the paint, but could not stand the idea of finishing the job that I would hate. So I bought more Mascarpone and did ceilings the same color (which looks great) and tried to sell the Super White unopened cans on Craigslists to no avail. Ace wouldn't let me return them even for a store credit or restock fee :( I ended up donating it. I thought I learned my lesson but I was so sure that White Dove looked lovely in everyone else's photos and was such a universal favorite (and who could not like the name) that I would love it too. Lesson learned - test the color in your own space even if it's "just" white! On the other hand, they do not have test sizes for the whites in my paint store and a quart is $17 vs $45 for the gallon - so it's better just to buy the gallon.

If you're doing painted, I suggest that you get a sample of Ben Moore's mascarpone (AF-20). It's a very pretty creamy white. Not too yellow, not too grey. Of course, my Fieldstone inset cabinets (to be ordered next week) are a near perfect color match for my (future) painted trim. We used the Ben Moore color as our exterior *and* interior trim. For me, it's a perfect not quite white. Our exterior is a very strong spring green, but it also plays well with our interior wall color which is Restoration Hardware's The Right White. We have a lot of old heart pine and barge board, so I know the color also works with brown tones.

Color choices can be tough LOL. But your painting your cabinets , which gives you a great deal of flexibility. My main recommendation is to use Cabinet Coat by BM ( actually it was invented zzinler but BM bought the company) . I believe Cabinet C oat goes for around $40/$50 a gal. Pick the color that would be your first choice and sample paint the back of a cabinet door. Ask the location of the slab house HD is using, hopefully it is close enough to take a ride. The great part is even if you paint all the cabinets 1 coat and you want to change the color slightly all those whites are so close , you can put a second coat on of a different color and it will not hurt a bit!. I have 35 years in the kitchen design biz, your angst is not unique. ( : Relax. The problem with color choosing on line is the internet is not great with subtle colors. This kitchen has the warmest milk white cabinets with subtle grey ones in the ceiling and walls. But can't see it in the pics.

In response to the most recent posts (not trying to respond to the original from 3 years ago) - Winds Breath is more yellow in hue than green (in terms of the actual color) so if it looks green it is possibly reflecting green from some source (like if there's a lot of greenery outside the window) or it has to do with lighting. White Sand definitely has yellow in it - not "undertones" per se but the hue family is yellow. Every neutral belongs to a hue family so perhaps you need to find a cool white or gray? The conundrum I think for you is that if you want a soft, off-white those are yellow in hue. Sherwin Williams Icicle is a cool very light gray if you're trying to get away from yellow and green. Below is a link is to a great resource. Unfortunately, a year or so ago when I was using the information to choose paint colors there was more free info available that now requires a subscription. A good number of paint colors are analyzed though. If you have the patience you can get away from all the subjective information you see online about undertones with this system - it takes the guesswork out of the equation. Land of Color
