If you've gone back and forth on painting your cabinetry in gray or white, you're in good company.

With a white backsplash and white countertops, we didn't want too white.

That's the short story of how we got to the perfect solution of Sherwin Williams First Star SW 7646. This white is a slight gray paint color with light blue undertones. We are so happy with how it turned out.

You didn’t share the wall colors except for the first one. It would really help in deciding which cabinet color. Can you please list them?

Thank you for your comment! This post was focused specifically on cabinet colors, so I didn’t include wall colors for the other examples. To help you decide, though, Sherwin Williams has some great neutral wall colors that pair beautifully with these whites, such as Agreeable Gray or Repose Gray. Is there a specific cabinet color you are considering?

I love my white cabinets. We remodeled an old farm house 18 years ago. Took it down to the studs, moved walls, new wiring, plumbing, and heat in the floors. I let my daughter talk me into putting "some color on the walls". Well, we live in South Central IL. with a LOT of cloudy days during winter. We have lots of windows and big patio doors, but still the house seems dark. I made the decision to start painting every room this spring and we are going with WHITE! I can decorate with color in rugs, bedding, and pillows. I LOVE white. It is fresh and clean, easy for me to keep clean (even with 16 grands in and out). I can decorate for the different seasons by just changing some throws on the sofas and pillows in different rooms. Our door knobs, kitchen hardware and lighting is all black. I have done an entry porch (closed in and I have my canned goods that I canned along one wall in a huge bookcase type cabinet that hubby built and it is black) and am working on bedrooms now. I love the way the white and ship lap in certain areas makes the colors in the rooms pop! Not a dark place to navigate now in the rooms I have done. Even my daughter loves it. :)

@Linda McDonald, please be honest and give me your opinion. We are doing a new build and thinking about Alabaster on all cabinets and trim, and all walls perhaps Neutral Ground. These are warmer tones. What do you think about that combination? The island could be iron ore or one of the similar colors. Counter tops will be white quarts and backsplash, large, 30” tiles for a broader more space covering tile without grout lines. It looks like white marble with charcoal/black veins. I think we are going to use this same tile on all bathroom floors. I like consistency throughout, but I don’t want it to be boring.
