Help please with color choices for white cabinets and quartz counters.
Comments (49)Your kitchen is beautiful! I love the mix of white and wood cabinets with the Hanstone quartz. Thank you so much for the photos! I used this quartz in my bathrooms and this is similar to what I’m planning to do with my kitchen next. I see you continued the quartz in the backsplash behind the stove. What did you use for the backsplash behind the sink and desk? Also, what have you found to work best for maintaining the quartz? I’m a little afraid of mine given the warnings they gave me about heat damaging it. I’ve also noticed that I need to wipe off water spots. Thank you!...See MoreHelp! Picking kitchen cabinet colors, need help with off-white/creams
Comments (14)Aw man, thanks for the comments guys! After being in this house with small kids for eight years, the cabinets are showing wear and there is quite a bit of water damage on many of them and some are broken (didn’t show you that photo!). So...that was where my head was at with going ahead and painting the cabinets. They are already priming today so this is a done deal! In my area, painting cabs is still a big thing (we might steer behind the times a little) and a big thing people look for in resale (we could be moving in a couple years). Honestly, it might not be trendy but I still love my granite! It hides stuff so well and never looks dirty. And I never even notice my backsplash and I just don’t care that much about it. It’s hard for me to warrant changing something just for cosmetic reasons (counter and backsplash) versus need (cabs). We got an amazing deal on the painting so I feel good about it. I’m going full steam with Antique White. After looking at it forever and being in complete decision making paralysis, that’s what I’m going with! I’m going with brass/gold knobs to add a little bit of funky and I have lots of Anthropologie-esque and plants to add character. I have a very open floor plan with my living room right there in all it’s colorful glory, so I’m thinking the lighter will look nice. I’ll be happy to post a pic when I’m done. Thanks for listening!!...See MoreHelp! what white cabinet color to match calacatta laza
Comments (15)I’m just here looking for other people’s opinions to see if that would help determine if these two match. Yes, we can determine if a paint color and an object - in your case a counter top - relate in terms of color. There's a process to follow, however, so it's a specific color strategy and not abstract guessing while standing in a paint store. We qualify the relationship on the three psychological dimensions of color hue, value and chorma. Using a standard light source called D65. We can also check it under other light sources. The science rule of thumb is if the color "match" or relationship works under 2 to 3 light source models, like daylight D65 and standard incandescent (in science terms called Illuminant A), then it's highly likely that the color relationship - the colors will go together - under ANY light source. This has nothing to do with photos of anything, btw. In order to do this, we need the color data values, the color measurement from the granite sample itself. You would do this using a Color Muse. We do this all day, every day here at The Land of Color. Because we understand everyone isn't an interior designer. Many need a framework to follow to figure out color conundrums. You just need to understand - and it sounds like you do - that your granite sample may not be exact to the slab that ends up installed. I've never personally seen that be that big of an issue, meaning the color appearance from sample to slab is usually close enough that the paint colors identified based on the sample work....See MoreHelp with Trim and Cabinet color with Origami White Walls
Comments (6)Hi - Pure White doesn’t have enough difference in Chroma (colourfulness) next to Origami White in order to appear crisp, when sat alongside. Also Pure White is quite a colourful white to be the trim, as well as the cabinetry colour. In an open plan room that can be limiting, should you wish to alter the wall colours. A more neutral white would allow more options down the line. Here are a few more alternatives,,,...See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
