It's hard to say whether it will be too warm without knowing what your other finishes are, particularly your flooring. I'd wait until the cabinets are installed before deciding on countertops. If you're antsy, take a sample door and sample of your flooring to stoneyards and check against slabs in good light (e.g. outdoors).

There are many, many whites on the market. What white are you using, and post a pic.

Windfresh White belongs to the warm side of the Yellow Hue Family. It doesn’t possess violet ’undertones’. It has the potential to shift & appear that way, *BUT* - only where lighting spikes heavily in the blue-violet region of the spectrum. In relatively well balanced lighting it will render a warm, light, near neutral. There is nothing fixed & inherently purple about this colour. Farrow & Ball Skimming Stone is a neighbour and sits even closer to the Yellow-Red Hue Family and so by comparison, would be more inclined to shift purpleish in funky lighting. But similarly in balanced light settings, it too will just appear a warm near neutral. So careful viewing of a large chip or sample in situ, will give you an indication of how it will behave in your setting, with your available light quality & context. Good Luck! ☘️

Warm or cool white in my kitchen?
Q
Comments (9)
We are in the same boat - working and busy - and in our recent kitchen remodel while we picked out nearly everything based on samples beforehand, I did wait to pick paint until we had most everything in. I asked our contractor to let me know when he was a couple days out from needing the final decision. Since you can source paint onsite in most places, this worked out. It was also a real help because I did not end up using the wall paint I’d been planning from the outset based on samples next to the cabinets in the actual space. But as a person who installed off-white warm white cabs and a mostly white countertop, I’d say don’t add a cool white into the mix in the wall. It can make your warm whites look too yellow. Our wall paint is slightly lighter than our cabinets, but still warm white and it seems to work.

please help me choose a light fixture
Q

We are converting our never-used dining room to I guess what could be described as an elevated mudroomish type space. It's still under construction, but I need to choose a light fixture to replace the builder grade chandelier that's been there for years. The room dimensions are 11' x 12' 6". The countertop still needs to be installed and it's Calacatta Abezzo. Any suggestions for a light fixture?

we aren't clairvoyants. post a picture of your cabs (or a door sample) in your kitchen w/your lighting and flooring.

post a pic of the quartz you want so all of us won't have to google it.

In the lighting of the pictures you show the two different whites do not clash. In fact, they seem like a very safe option. To some people that does render as boring. Typically for me, it would as well, but your floors are so rich and beautiful that they could help add dimension. You might see where else you can add wood accents.

It would also be helpful to know what you plan to use as backsplash and hardware.

I decorate with walnut and black pieces on my counter. Some greenery too. I also have a large walnut table off of our kitchen. We have a navy pantry and wine bar off the side too. I was planning on using black hardware, but I do not have a backsplash chosen yet.

no it's not too warm.

with the wood accents it will look nice

I did a real calacatta backsplash tile in my kitchen. your choice won't be any warmer than the real stuff

wait until it's installed before deciding on a tile splash

Did the white cabinets and Calacatta Abezzo work out? I am considering the same combination and am worried the counter is too warm for a cooler white paint (I am a south facing room). Thank you!

I'd also love an update as I'm considering the same countertop in a smaller bathroom. Cabinets will be in canvas (creamy white color) with Delta champagne bronze faucets... I'm debating flooring but want a soft look. Possibly calacatta ouro or similar tile in shower.
