Please help me choose BM "white" paint colour for kitchen cabinets
I am having maple, shaker style cabinets made for my kitchen. The carpenter uses Benjamin Moore paints. I'm having a difficult time trying to decide which "white" paint shade to use. Suggestions have been : White Dove, Cotton Balls, Cloud White, Oxford White.
The floors will be a site finished white oak floor in a walnut-type stain. The room is open to a small family room that has a lot of natural light.

What are your favourites?

Many thanks!!

eagle846 I'm still quite curious as to what influences the decision to choose one of the whites?
Do some tend to yellow more quickly?

Leslie Kreger We did the same style doors and used BM 'Simply White'. Have walnut floors. We are pleased with how it turned out! Used Simply White throughout our home for trim and doors as well.

eagle846 Hi Leslie,
Your kitchen is beautiful! The pendants you chose are quite stunning. Mind sharing where they can be purchased?
Thank you also for the color suggestion.

feeny The only one of the whites you mentioned that I am familiar enough with to recommend is White Dove. I have seen a number of kitchens with it in person, and it is a wonderful shade.

eagle846 Many thanks Leslie and Feeny!
Have picked up the colour sample and trying them at the "new" house. I guess my next step would be to buy some pots of paint and try a couple of samples on a primed board.

Now have to decide hardware! Handles or knobs or combination????
