What color for kitchen cabinets Sign In/Join 
posted
Hello it has been so time since I posted to the board, but need advice.

Color listed by room first
The kitchen main walls Koi Pomd by SW
kitchen accent wall Copper Pot by SW
kitchen ceiling and living room ceiling painted Koi Pomd by SW.
kitchen trim is White Dove by BM OC-17

Living room wall Empire Gold by SW.

The reason I listed the color is need help with kitchen cabinets need to paint but unsure if I should paint cabinets the same color as trim in kitchen White Dove or just go with a bright white color?

picture is kitchen with accent wall Copper Pot and the pass threw is the Empire Gold in the living room.

Thank you Gwen

Unable to see your photo in either this thread or the Kitchen Design thread, Gwen. It's about the size of a postage stamp. Might be a good idea to repost and enlarge it - you'll probably receive many replies, if you do.

If your only question was about painting the cabinets white - different whites can clash b/c they usually have different background hues. If the cabinet trim's already BM White Dove, you should probably stick with that - assuming the BM WD works well with your new accent colors.

JMHO & good luck!

Agree with Blueday. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Stick with the White Dove.

Definitely go with the same white or one of them will probably look dirty.

Agree with all of the above, you really don't want one of the whites looking dirty. I always obsess over whites, at first it seems so simple what could go wrong. But, after I get a sample on the wall you can really see the difference between them.
