Hi Sue @wyosue58! Before getting into a long explanation, I want to say my initial reaction is to cancel using White Opulence on your trim primarily because you already have doors and windows that are white, and the White Opulence will look pink next to that and will likely clash with the Maple Toast cabinetry and be of little benefit to the predominantly beige Happy Floors LVP because of the trim and cabinetry colors already established. Just go with a basic white for your trim would be my advice. Then on the walls, I would like to see you pick a color that is more in line with current trends or perhaps will last longer as a classic color. Please read on for a further explanation. The timing of your questions is perfect because I have been working on color choices myself over the last few weeks and have more information to share as a result. As you know from my previous post, I have selected Benjamin Moore's White Opulence for the main areas of my home's walls, but all of my hallways and bedrooms have different colors from the main areas, and I also have a deeply-colored accent wall in the dining room. Furthermore, the longer I have lived with Benjamin Moore's White Opulence paint (which is still not fully applied to all areas where it will eventually go) and worked closely with other colors trying to coordinate a whole-house scheme, I am sensing more and more how much of a pink tint can come across in the White Opulence at certain angles in certain lighting of the day. You are definitely going to see some pink coming through in that White Opulence at times. Even though your Happy Floors LVP does have a hint of pink, based on the Santa Fe colorways I was able to look up I believe that the one you have selected is predominantly a mix of light brown with gray taupe. The fact that you also have presumably medium brown "Maple Toast" cabinets (I was not able to find a paint manufacturer for that color unless you were talking about stain) plus windows and trim that are already white makes the White Opulence as a second trim color excessive. It is a pretty color on its own or against other white or dark colors in a limited palette, but once you start mixing in multiple mid-tone browns and grays with the pink paint, you may feel the effect is messy. I would stick with a basic white trim to go with windows and doors, to avoid clashing with your existing mid-tone browns and gray taupes, and to simplify your scheme and give you greater flexibility in the future if you ever want to recolor your walls. I have used Happy Floors flooring in part of my home, and I think the company has outstanding color selections (albeit a spotty record with quality, see other Houzz posts), and I know you will enjoy the Santa Fe LVP, but it is a showpiece pattern and will dictate subdued walls and trim in order to not clash. So then, if you have basic white trim and brown cabinets with your patterned Happy Floors beige/gray flooring, then let's look at the walls. The first thing that stands out to me is that your builder seems to be nudging you toward a color scheme that was popular toward the farther end of the last ten years or so ago when coffee-and-cream with white trim was a popular color scheme for whole-house repaints, particularly for homes prepped to be flipped on the real estate market. The two coffee-and-cream-family wall colors you are considering, Benjamin Moore's Cocoa Butter and Tuscon Winds, will appear strong once covering entire walls and also don't seem compatible colorwise to your existing cabinetry and flooring selections. Although creams are currently making a comeback, the new creams are lighter than the older, darker, coffee-and-creams. To give a real-life example, a family member of mine actually bought a home in 2017 in which walls had been painted throughout in a medium coffee-and-cream color. Trim in that house was white, and flooring was beige. To walk into the empty home, everything looked fine and almost calming, but to live in that home and to try to bring in furniture and decor, nothing really went with anything, and it was a poor color scheme all around. By the time the home was sold in 2022, everyone in the family wished the walls were white, but it was too expensive to repaint before resale, so the new owners were stuck with the task of updating what was, by then, an out-of-date look. Now, if you have a specific reason that you want Cocoa Butter or Tucson Winds and it blends with everything else that you have in the room, or perhaps you want it in just one bedroom or just one bathroom, then go for it! However, you are talking about a whole-house color scheme, and I think that a lighter, more neutral tone will work better for you for that purpose and with your existing colors. Please don't allow your builder or anyone else to pressure you into something that doesn't work for your specific situation. Different design theories abound as to what is the best way to approach a whole-house color scheme in terms of the walls. Some people say the best thing you can do for your house is to get consistent color or pattern all the way through. Other people like me prefer a variety of colors, but plenty of time goes into designing a scheme like that successfully, and a background in color theory or working with a professional colorist helps as well when many colors are involved. Through my own research, I have come to the personal opinion that colored ceilings work best as an accent or in a situation where walls are very dark. If your walls are already quite light, which they probably should be given the color selections already in place in your home, no harm is done by going with a basic white ceiling. People don't really look at the ceilings all that much to be honest with you. The one job of the ceiling is to not stand out. I think in your case, especially because you have white trim, painting the ceilings white and then really focusing on getting your wall color right will help simplify your color scheme. For the walls in the area that adjoins your kitchen cabinetry that is Maple Toast along with your patterned Santa Fe LVP, I would be looking at some very light neutrals if you want to add color to the space. You'll need something that doesn't offend the gray taupe in the LVP nor the medium brown in your Maple Toast. If you are using Benjamin Moore paint, I would highly encourage you to focus on the Affinity Collection. Over several years of selecting colors for my own home, I have come back to that collection of colors again and again because they are just outstanding. They really are modern, sophisticated colors. Focus on the lighter tones and try to pick something that goes with everything else that you have in your main areas. Sherwin Williams has recently come out with a new collection of colors called the Emerald Designer Collection, and some outstanding light neutrals are contained in that collection. I have recently come across some reviews of Sherwin Williams paints that indicate some people are not as happy with the quality of paint since it was reformulated several years ago, but obviously Sherwin Williams is still a large player in the paint market, and if you have a professional who will back up the work, I would not worry too much about using it. Between the Sherwin Williams Emerald Designer Collection and the Benjamin Moore Affinity Collection, I think you can find something that will work for you. You may even want to throw some pastel or even stronger colors into some of the back rooms that do not adjoin your Maple Toast cabinetry. If you have more questions or would like more input, please let us know. Actual photos of your cabinetry and LVP would be helpful for further input.

Patricia - I'm not looking to match an existing color in the room, rather want a Benjamin Moore paint COLOR but for Cabinet Coat (Pro. painter said to pick a color from Kelly Moore). Lori - Thank you for the detailed info. We are getting our (South Faced) kitchen cabinet painted. We have Cloud White (OC -130) on the walls, and looking for a white/off white color for the cabinets. Something that is not to stark, too yellow, or too pink! Some of the folks had suggested we match cabinets to the shutter colors (two windows in kitchen), however we prefer not to as it is an older K.M. paint color (Western Acoustic) which has a lot of yellow in it. We did swatches, and the best colors are Simply White /OC-117 and Could White/OC-130, with Simply White being the nicer of the two choices. However, since due to the base of each different paint manufacturer, paint matching can be a hit or miss, the Sales Reps (with over 20 years of experience. at K.M.) said that Pickett Fence was a close match to S.W. Main- Thank you for that info. It's extremely helpful. Will pass on the info. to our paint guy.

we use Benjamin moore like the regal the aura. Kelley more is good for mid level jobs

I love Boothbay Gray. It definitely looks blue. In one room, I have pink accents. In another, sea green. My trim is Cloud White.
