matching whites

Hi everyone, does anyone have any idea which whites would match as close as possible between American Standard and Kohler. We're putting in an AS Evolution soaking tub w apron and would prefer to get a Kohler Memoir toilet (yes instead of an AS white toilet cause that would be too sensible). My wife and I are wondering if AS arctic white would be the best match to Kohler's white. Anyone ? :) tx

    Toilet showrooms have samples for you to compare. You are selecting some very popular companies (American Standard and Kohler) so you should be able to grab a tank top from a toilet and put it next to a sink or sample chip of the Kohler line. As long as you are viewing them under the same lighting conditions, you are golden.

    That's good logical advice Babka, thank you. I tried to do just that at HD and Lowes in my area but surprisingly they didn't carry any AS arctic white products to compare kohler white to, and they didn't have arctic white sample chips either. Guess next step is to call manufacturers and ask for sample chips, just thought maybe somebody here might know, save me the trouble. Tx again.

    Do you have a plumbing supply store anywhere close by? Or a local kitchen and bath design/remodel store? Much faster than trying to get samples out of manufacturers.
