I'm wanting my cabinets painted white but I'm so bad and choosing paint colors.
Can you tell me what you have?

I have BM White Dove on my cabs and trim, and SW Accessible beige half strength on my walls.
Match your cabs/trim and you can do pretty much whatever color you want on your walls! Except a close white that is not a match.

It means they take the color and cut it in half with white paint so that it is half as dark. My house doesn’t have a lot of natural light because it has covered porches all around, so, I needed to lighten up the color.

I have a very light gray with my white cabinets. It looks crisp and clean I really like it.

almost any color, provided your flooring is neutral, too. if it is too orangey or yellowy you may have to be more careful.
i have simply white cabs and grey walls (bm silver chain) and darkish wood floors.

I have a light gray on the walls with white cabinets. I like it but I used to have a beautiful greenish/grayish/blue on the walls that I loved. I'm thinking about going back to that again.

My kitchen is currently getting redone. The cabinets are going to be white. Walks are going to be Benjamin Moore Sidewalk...its a light grey and looks perfectly grey in every light in my condo.

My kitchen has white walls and white cabinets. The island cabinet is painted espresso. The floors are dark walnut hardware.
The family room is the other half of the room. It is a medium gray.

Similar to Ashley, mine is a darker blue (Sherwin Williams Naval Blue), but I'm thinking of possibly going lighter. I find painting relaxing so I like to change things up.

When I moved in the previous owner had a deep dark blue/purple color (similar to the Benjamin Moore color of the year 2017- Shadow).
We lived with it for ears and just a couple of years ago we repainted a light tan color. Our countertops are dark green granite so that limits what we can do. If you have more neutral countertops you can go in whichever direction you like.

We have BM Chantilly on the cabinets and a slightly grey-er white on the walls, I would have to go downstairs to check, it’s a BM colour at 75% strength. Trim is Chantilly as well. Our kitchen is dark, so we really wanted to lighten it up.

That is stunning! You've got to be bold for that!

We have white cabinets, grey tile backsplash and white walls. There really isn’t much wall to see though. It is mostly all covered by tile or cabinets.

We have white cabinets with a light beige/tan walls.
Our counters are granite with brown, beige and black so we are pretty limited on color choice until we change the counters.

Our cabinets are a mix of white (under the bench tops) and dark grey (floor to ceiling along one wall). Bench top is light grey Caesarstone. The walls are painted white. The colour comes from the splashback, which is bright turquoise.

I've been swooning for years over Farrow & Ball's Setting Plaster shade, especially paired with white kitchen cabinets.

Red. Like poppy red. There's not much wall space though- small kitchen, lots of white cabinets, white subway tile. Black counters.
My kitchen is amazing.

My kitchen is pretty small. The units are all white, the worktops are a dark grey concrete laminate, and the floor is also dark grey. I wanted something that wouldn’t clash with my living room (which is pale blue, mossy green, French grey and white), so I went for a deep, almost cornflower blue. It makes me feel calm every time I go in there.  |

Or at least in my kitchen. It's definitely not for everyone but I saw it IRL in a minimalist kitchen with open shelving and ugh, I swooned. It was magic (in part due to how well it worked with the natural light configuration, of course). Found some pictures online of eating nooks + kitchen with the shade:   |

White cabinets, light gray walls. I don’t even know what color the gray is but it’s the most perfect cheery gray. Yes, there is such a thing! My kitchen makes me happy and peaceful and it looks so clean and inviting.
