Kitchen Cabinet Color With Carrara Countertops? Is White Dove Ok Or Does It Have To Be A Cleane/ Brighter Whit?

I have to pick my kitchen cabinet color today. The cabinet company only has white dove, which is a creamy white. A friend told me that I should go with a more bright white without any yellow in it. What do you think?

I’d branch out a little bit. Don’t be a slave to one single cabinet company. There are plenty of affordable ready to assemble kitchen cabinets online and it’s a great deal cheaper to use those rather than be at the mercy of whatever company you are using.
Give it a look. I bet it would be perfect for you.
You say that cabinet company only has White Dove, creamy white paint. So, it looks like you do not have a choice, eh?
Carrara counter tops have variations in color. Sometimes it really is not wise to get a matchy matchy counter top with cabinetry because it does neither justice and causes what I call blurr-blend, an effect where there is no definition where one element ends and the other begins.
It is hard to say if the White Dove paint will compliment your Carrara counter tops without seeing both colors. For a moment, forget about what your friend said. Do YOU like it? If YOUR answer is no, then you may have no other choice to pay a surcharge for the cabinet company to use your own paint color selection. Keep in mind that any warranty on the finish may not apply if they do not use their own paint.
Whatever you do, make your own choices and go with your gut feeling because this is your kitchen after the cabinetry is installed and perhaps even longer as you pay for it.
I think white dove will be ok and it will be easier to maintain. http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&cl…
Just make sure you like what you see. I’m sure your cabinets will look fine, good luck!
What color Carrara?
What shade is the white the cabinet company has – bright white [ blue undertone ], gray white [ 'dove' ], beige white [ off-white ], yellow white [ ivory ]..??
Color name doesn’t matter – but actual shade does!
It’s your kitchen, it doesn’t matter what WE think.
