I have both Blonde and Ivoire in parts of my house and ended up using Navajo White (the top color on the Blonde strip) on the ceiling. It reads white, but is nice and warm. It is so chameleon, I used it on every one of my ceilings throughout the house.

Sorry, yes the Divine White is on the wall going up from the landing, but due to the lighting does not show much contrast against the Kilim Beige which in real life is apparent but not shocking. I was really attempting to let you see the distinction between the wall paint and the trim (which you can only see at the landing baseboard against Divine White). This trim paint is actually a Pittsburg semi-gloss latex trim paint. Paint shop recommended it because I didn't want to risk runs. It's a thicker paint and applied nicely. I've discarded the container so unable to offer more specifics. SW trim paint is good too. Personally, I only think of trim being semi-gloss white - maybe I need to think outside the box. Because our space is using three colors in total (SW Latte on some other walls), I purchased a quart of each and applied them side-by-side in several areas to see their effect throughout the day and under artificial light. I know you are restricting yourself to a single color but you might want to invest a few $$$'s and try a similar test because your new residence will have different lighting conditions than your prior home. We're just DIY'ers and need to teach ourselves when taking on projects that pros already have experienced. We like the colors you are considering and am confident you will be pleased with the finished look. Good luck.

JudyG Designs, you said if one does semi-gloss, white (assume you mean CL?) woodwork and flat CL ceilings, the ceiling will look dirty (against the woodwork), but, you still suggest (as I've read elsewhere) to use CL flat on the ceilings if using it on the trim in semi-gloss. Am I misunderstanding? Maybe the original poster intended to use the same (flat) sheen for both? I'd like my ceiling to blend well with my semi-gloss BM CL woodwork, but I know the plane difference will cause some color perception shift, no matter what. My question will pop up in a few places since I don't know which will receive replies. Might even have to start a new question, since this one and others are many years old. My painter suggest he just use SW CHB--it's an ultra-flat, cheap white paint used in the Midwest for new builds. Mine is a large renovations. Thanks for any clarification and help if you see or others see this.

We used Behr’s Pot of Cream white for all of our doors and trim. It’s a really great creamy white that reflects well. It has a soft look to it, not brash or harsh. Don’t limit yourself to just SW paint colors. The paint retailers have the formula’s for each others colors and can mix whatever you want regardless of brand. Even Home Depot has mixed colors that were spot on from SW for me.
