If you are looking for a white for the top cabinets look at this post. https://lifeonsummerhill.com/best-sherwin-williams-white-for-cabinets/. As far as the bottom cabinet color it all depends on if you want neutral or color. If you kitchen is dark since you mentioned “not enough light” I would recommend something lighter or keeping all your cabinets the same white color.

This is a good question. I have white appliances and white cabinets. I actually prefer white appliances and I have new ones coming this year. When I painted my cabinets I choose a slightly gray-white color called First Star. My appliance and my countertop are white so I felt like I needed a little color to my white cabinets.
If you like a warmer tone consider something like alabaster which is a white-white with a warm undertone. Last, colors read differently in each room. I would get some sample cans and test them out on the wall or on a piece of foam board in your room. Hold it up next to your appliances and countertop to see if you like it.
I hope this help and good luck on your painting project.

Hi Kim! I’ve been thinking about your questions. What came to my mind first were white cabinets in Pure White or Alabaster. Then an island in Peppercorn or a very dark gray color. Another idea is white cabinets, and if your island is solid wood, strip the finish off and bleach the wood. This look is popular right now and might look great on your island. But this also depends on what is going on in the rest of the room. I hope this helps. And good luck!!

Your home sounds very pretty and I love that you are bringing back to life an abandoned farmhouse. If you want a seamless look I would go with the same color white on the cabinets as the walls. To make sure – is this Cloud White a Benjamin Moore color? If so it looks like it is a warm off white. If you want a tiny bit of contract with Cloud White then I would look at a white white like Pure White by Sherwin Williams for the cabinets. I hope this helps! Good luck with your renovation.

Have you considered using Alabaster for your cabinets? I recommend looking at Alabaster first.
