| Hi all! I've seen a few posts on this, but I have a bit more of a specific questino.
My husband and I are buildnig a new townhome and we just picked out the granite and cabinet colors. We went with Venetian Gold for the granite and Legacy Cabinet's "Cabernet" stain, which looks like a cherry. I LOVE the 2 together and have seen lovely pictures of some kitchens on here wiht similar combinations. However, I'm having a really hard time picking the paint from the limited choices we were given. It will go throughout the whole house, but I want it to go really nicely with the kitchen from the get-go. If you go to the link provided, you can see the paint choices we have. I can't decide between: Simply Tan, Shell White and Pale Portabella. I'm worried Simply Tan might be too...tan...and neutral (read: boring), 'm also worried that Pale Portabella might be too dark for the entire house, and I think Shell White might be too light/yellowy. What do you think? What do you think would make the kitchen look the best? http://www.mccormickpaints.com/catalog/subdivision/Caruso-Homes-Wilshi re-Estates/ |

| The shell white looks golden. I have this tone of paint with Cherry furniture in my living room and it looks fabulous. I don't know what your granite looks like, so I'm not sure how it would work. Good luck! |

| I've not seen Shell White in person, but if it is slight yellowing, it will look really, really nice. I have the same cab/granite combo in my masterbath. I tried going for the slight yellow, but it didn't turn out quite right. If you use the Shell White, could you post pics when you are finished? |

| I will post pictures when it's all said and done. I still can't decide! I asked the builder if he knew of any model homes with any of the colors on the walls so I can see it in person. It's too hard to choose from just a swatch in a binder! I've attached a link of the approximate granite and cabinet colors if that would help anyone with their opinion! :) |
