I think I'd match the trim to the cabinet colour. For the ceiling, how about a ceiling white with just a hint of your wall colour in it. Looks a bit like RH Silver Sage to me. I don't know how much this is done anymore, but I know many designers used to do that with a ceiling colour, rather than a stark white. So little colour that you spend time wondering if you are actually seeing a colour. Hopefully one of the experts will come along and give you a bit more advice on that. I like the idea of black trim. I think instead of a pure black though, I'd consider a charcoal type colour, a really almost black colour. Some to consider BM Ebony slate (2118-30) BM Baby Seal Black (2119-30) BM Witching Hour (2120-30) BM Anchor Gray (2126-30). I think your kitchen looks gorgeous. I like the subway tile with contrasting grout and the floor is really beautiful. Well done.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions so far! I think I will definitely paint the walls a soft white or something between the white and cream. I never liked the green but couldn’t decide on a color so I’ve left it since we moved in a few months ago. The countertops have the backsplash thing attached so I’m going to try to see if I can remove that to put my own in. If I can’t remove it would it look ridiculous to do some small tiles above it between that and the upper cabinets? This is our first house and we don’t really have the budget to do new countertops or replace any cabinets so that’s not really in the picture. I’m just trying to make it look a little better! We have to keep the island because it has storage and we don’t have much of that. We also use it a ton for cooking. I don’t want to paint the trim to match the cabinets because all the trim in the rest of the house is white including the dining room which is open to the kitchen.

My builder uses strictly Sherwin Williams and will be color matching the 2 or 3 BM colors that I chose. I've never seen a Sherwin Williams match to BenM's Super White that I thought was good enough to call it "match". You may have a different opinion - you might love the custom match. But I recommend you stipulate in your contract that you have to approve the SW color match to Super White and if they can't match it to your satisfaction, then he's going to have to get it from Benjamin Moore. I only want one crisp white for all the trim in the whole house(except where it will make my cabinets look dingy) I can only speak to the comparison of White Duck to the original BenM Super White, not the SW color match. There is a generous difference in terms of Chroma between the two colors. That means it's unlikely either will make the other look dingy. Ok you color guru’s does the White Duck and Edgecomb Gray work together? They're very similar. White Duck is slightly lighter and more neutral, less colorful. Edgecomb is the darker of the two and has more color. They're most similar in terms of hue family. You're either going to love it or you're not. In certain low light moments you might not be able to tell they're two different colors.

We closed on our house today wahoooo! I only got to spend about an hour there but looked quickly at the samples for trim/doors/ceilings. I think I've narrowed it down to three possibilities: BM Simply White, SW Extra White and BM Super White. I thought about BM Chantilly Lace too. Basically, looking at the finishings, my first gut is that BM Simply White looks the best. I just worry it may look too yellow once up on everything. At least that's what I read (and you know how reliable the internet is). First question: has anyone had experience with BM Simply White? Does it just read warm or do you see the yellow in it when it's one trim/doors/ceilings? So I may go that direction, or wonder if I should go with a cleaner white but something close. Something still a little warm... As for the runners up, from what I can see SW Extra White and BM Super White are very similar but Extra White maybe looks a little warmer? Maybe because it has more chroma? Is this understanding accurate, Lori A. Sawaya?? And it seems to me that the order of warmth would go SW Extra White, BM Super White, BM Chantilly Lace... is that a correct reading? Again for context - East/West exposures with a lot of shade. Wall colors aren't chosen but would likely be something along the lines of BM Edgecomb Gray, BM Ballet White, BM Chelsea Gray, BM Natural Cream. Daughter's room will be BM Opal. I'll try to take some pics of the finishings tomorrow but would love any thoughts on this. Thanks!
