| it's a little too bright, not quite creamy enough yet.
plus it's not nearly glossy enough, second coat needs to have more luster. i want it to look as though it's been there forever and has had many coats of paint. i used flexibrick http://www.flexibrick.com/install.php in alaska white with white grout. any suggestions for a deeper cream for a gold/green/pink/cream room? walls are rosemary sprig and there are many greens in the room and pink fringe on the valances. this is the style of fireplace, thanks to lavender lass

| thanks--so is linen a deeper, less bright white cream color? |
|
| I have linen white in my basement. It has a yellow undertone. My SIL has it in her living room. Seeems to look the same in natural light. |

| How about Chatsworth Cream? I haven't seen it in actual paint, but I have the chip at home, and it seems creamier than my memory of Mascarpone. |

| Yes, it is def cream, not so yellow that it is not considered creamy white. It is not bright and comes across as sort of antique, ykwim? |
|
| I'm repainting things in ivory white. Its a lovely color. Another one would be Pratt and Lambert's seed pearl. We have that on the stairs. I thinks it's really beautiful. good luck! Kim |

| On second examination and viewing chip in different lighting, I may have to rescind Chatsworth Cream recommendation, unless your want a really dusky pale yellow cream (almost pale tan in fluorescent store lighting); of course, paint would behave differently than ink on paper, so who knows. |
