In reply to Eve. Hi Eve! It sounds like your kitchen, and living area will be very pretty! Alabaster is a great white color. I have used it on walls and cabinets in many houses, and it doesn't read yellow. Regarding the walls for this open space, if you want a greyer color look at agreeable gray and repose gray. If you want a warmer color, look at accessible beige. I hope this help, and good luck!

Hi! Thanks so much for this post. I’m building a new home, with a “modern farmhouse” theme. In the kitchen, the cabinets will be white and the island is stained. Do you think Alabaster would be a good color for the white cabinets? If so, what color would you paint the walls around the cabinets? The kitchen is open to the living room, so it would have to be a color I could paint throughout that entire open space (kitchen and living room). I like the “warm” tones of Alabaster – but don’t want them to appear yellow. Should I just stick to “pure white” color for cabinets? But don’t want the cabinets to be too stark white where it takes away the farmhouse feel. Basically wondering what colors to do the cabinets and the kitchen/living room paint! I want them to compliment each other as well. Thanks in advance – I appreciate reading all of your advice!!

Linda, I found your site on Pinterest. I’m redoing a kitchen and was planning to use Sherwin Williams Alabaster paint but I want to do some brick on the wall and were wondering if you could PLEASE tell me what brick is in the picture of Tiffany’s kitchen at Forever Six Acres. I really like how that brick looks with the Alabaster cabinets.

In reply to Ashley evans. Good questions! All of the white colors you mentioned will look great with your island. Pure white and snowbound are whiter than alabaster. But honestly, most people would not notice the difference. Alabaster is a warmer white whereas pure white and snowbound are cooler. If I wanted a white/white I would go with pure white. If I wanted a warmer white I would go with Alabaster. I hope this help! Good luck! Your kitchen sounds like it is going to be beautiful! :)

Your new kitchen sounds very pretty. I have not had personal experience with Highly Reflective white but I can honestly say many people have used it and love it. One of my favorite whites is Alabaster because it has a softer appearance. Look at the paint chips for Alabaster and Highly Reflective white next to each other and you will see the difference. Also, I have a post on how to pick paint colors that might be helpful. It gives tips on making a selection easier. https://lifeonsummerhill.com/how-to-pick-paint-colors/
Last, as far as the island all of your options will be pretty. If you go with a gray color look at Repose Gray too. It is a good medium tone gray color. I have a post with examples of using Repose Gray that might help you see it used on cabinets. https://lifeonsummerhill.com/sherwin-williams-grey-cabinet-colors/. I hope this helps and good luck!

Hi! We are doing a new construction and I’m thinking of Highly Reflective white for the walls and kitchen cabinets. Is that too much? I want white quartz with a hint of grey. We will have an island. I can do the island the same white, wood instead of paint, or a gray. Looking at maybe Morning Fog SW 6255 or Krypton SW 6247.
Which do you think would look better? Our previous house was oak cabinets with sage walls and I’m just ready for a change.

In reply to Elizabeth Gray. Peppercorn is a great color. I would look at Alabaster for the white. It is a nice white that isn't stark. I hope this helps and good luck!

In reply to Vicki. I just panted my lower kitchen cabinets in peppercorn. Trying to figure out the color white I should use for my uppers.
