color for kitchen

I have KM cherry cabs in Honey Spice and am installing new Silestone in Tigris Sand (a pale creamy limestone look. I currently have a very neutral taupe ( ICI Beachcomber) on the walls and am looking to brighten the kitchen which gets very little natural light. Thinking of a creamy white on walls w/ bright white trim. Any suggestions?? Prefer SW or BM paint.

We just put in natural cherry cabs and Caesarstone Buttermilk, a beige limestone look. We also liked the effect of creamy colors with the Buttermilk. The one that seems to brighten up the kitchen without going too yellow, peach, or gray is BM Woodmont Cream #204. It might also be the same color as Linen White--looks the same to me.

We just put on the first coat of sw lotus pod. We are doing natural cherry cabinets and golden crystal granite. We wanted something creamy, warm and neutral.

The Buttermilk is exactly the same color as Tigris Sand. Thanks for the response. Do you have any pics. with the paint? I'm doing a backsplash in a 3x6 subway and trying for the lightest tones in the countertop. I can pick colors for someone else but when it comes to my own home, I am paralized.

We haven't painted yet, but it's going in an adjacent hallway that opens to the kitchen. We have BM Georgian Green now and it's too dark for the hallway. Like you, we have little natural light.

Our floor tile came in with more variation than we expected and there's quite a bit of yellow tones. It scared me at first, but it goes great with the countertop and we love it. A barely yellow cream is a good place to start.
