Help with off-white paint color to go with natural stained wood

last month

Hi! Long time lurker, first-time poster. 🤣 Id love your opinions on paint in this space! We are building a small open-concept lake cabin in Maine and have decided to paint an off-white (same color on the walls and ceiling).
The doors, trim, and ceiling beams (not yet installed) will be natural stained wood (1 coat each of Minwax Early American and Weathered Oak). The window casings are black. I’m thinking of an off-white that is warmish, and doesn’t lean yellow or pink. Our contractor only uses Sherwin-Williams paint, so I am looking at colors like Shoji White, Alabaster, Westhighland White, and White Flour.

As far as lighting, the kitchen area (where you can sort of see the beginnings of the island) faces east, and the double doors you can see face west (and the lake). Through those double doors is a screened in porch, so natural light coming in from those doors will be minimal, although we do have the windows up above and on the wall.

Fire away and thank you in advance!
