SW alabaster/BM white dove - perfect white for cabinets+shiplap walls?
Comments (60)I just painted my bedroom and master bath SW Alabaster with SW High Reflective White trim and doors. I LOVE the look, both colors work beautifully together. Depending on the time of day (morning sun) it looks white without being too stark white, as the day progresses it warms up turning into a vanilla cream in the evenings. My bedroom is west facing with more windows and a small south window. My master bath is west facing. The High Reflective White stays pretty true to color at all times. Unfortunately they were not able to do the cabinets in HRW as the paint I used on the cabinets could not be mixed in that color. HRW is a color that is funny at Sherwin Williams and kinda' tricky and definitely takes more coats to cover. I used Emerald paint in Alabaster on ceilings, walls, and cabinets in different finishes and Super Paint in Semi Gloss in HRW for trim and doors. I was nervous about using Alabaster on the cabinets in the bathroom but it worked perfectly. I will say, for those that are using a white on walls that is not as warm as Alabaster/White Dove, or more cooler grays (think grays that aren't greige) the Alabaster or White Dove warm soft whites are going to go yellow/cream. I would recommend going with Pure White for cabinets and trim. It is still a soft white without the creaminess of Alabaster. High Reflective White is also a good white it's not as soft as Pure White but still not so white that it looks cheap, but again HRW is hard to cover and cannot be mixed in many sheens and paints. I decided not to go with Pure White with my Alabaster walls because my husband wanted more of a contrast with the doors and trim, I wanted to use Alabaster on everything, but made a compromise with my husband, and went with HRW. I am not at all disappointed with the look. I know I spent countless hours agonizing over the choices and hopefully this will help others that are in the same position....See MoreHelp! Silestone quartz (white) that goes with SW Alabaster cabinets
Comments (1)The alabaster has some yellow in it. If the quartz is not on the cold side, which from the name, it should not, then it's fine. It's difficult to see the true colors online. The one I saw seems to have gray in it....See MoreSW Dover White walls with SW Alabaster trim?
Comments (10)First you need clarity on product - what's being used where and what sheen. Then you need samples in each product that will be used on cabinets, walls and trim. These two colors are so similar, that a difference in product is going to matter more than usual. In other words, you can't judge or anticipate results - in this instance - based on color data values derived from paint color chips. Decided on cabinet color first and let that inform trim and wall color. Because you have the most limited choice with cabinet color....See MoreHelp!Alabaster Cabinets&Trim with SW Egret or stick with Alabaster?
Comments (2)Use the alabaster for everything, just use different sheen. Flat on ceiling, matte, or eggshell on walls, and satin or semi gloss on trim. Whites will clash with each other, why, take the chance....See MoreLinda King
