In reply to Becky. Ooo Becky, it's hard to say as each window brand has different shades. I mean, white is always SAFER of the two, but it could look a bit stark with Alabaster. However, depending on the shade of cream, it could be too yellow for Alabaster! If i HAD to choose though, off the top, I'd choose white.

I am getting ready to replace my windows on my house with aluminum clad. They mostly come in a White or a Cream option. Which color would go best with my “Alabaster” color that I have on the exterior body and trim?

In reply to Deb Stover. I had my bedroom painted in dove white in the house we sold. I do not like dove white at all. To me it had a green undertone, too cold. I stay away from that. Only an opinion. You could try putting an actual color with it, which will offset anything you don't want noticed.

In reply to Claire Trunnell. I had my dining room painted in Alabaster. There is a fireplace in there, which has a black with white vain marble going through it. It turned out to be the cat's meow.

Hi Kylie,
We are painting our exterior Alabaster with Iron ore on the garage and door. Do I keep the trim alabaster as well or should the trim be a whiter white? Our windows are white.
Thank you!

Hi Kylie,
We have a one story mid century modern home. We want to paint it a light color, and are considering SW Alabaster. Our front face east, so I think the color will look good on that side especially in the afternoons and evenings. The backof the house faces west and gets a lot of sun, and I am concerned SW Alabaster will make the house look washed out or too yellow. Would you recommend this color for us? or are there alternatives that would make the front brighter in the afternoon/evenings while keeping the back of the house also nice and white without loooking yellow or washed out. Thanks a lot

I’m thinking of painting our kitchen cabinets alibaster. We have canvas tan on our walls and alabaster on the trim… Will alabaster cabinets make the canvas tan walls seem overly yellow?

Hi Kylie, Do you happen to know what was used on the shutters and the trim ( on alabaster exterior -house featured in photo) I'm trying to see if I can get it approved with my HOA. Thank you

I made the dreaded mistake of painting my cabinets (lots of them) Dover White. It is in my great room with SW Camelback on the walls , Dover White on ceilings and trim. This is in a west-facing room with window glass up to the 24 ft cathedral ceiling. This room is blasted with sunlight. The ceiling and trim do not seem to throw the yellow cream that the kitchen cabinets are. I would like to paint the walls and love blues with green undertones. Is there a beige or cream color that can work with Dover White and the best medium blue that wouldn’t look baby blue with all the light.

In reply to Lauren. It could look LOVELY - you might see a BIT more of its creamy warmth if you have warm bulbs and that can be nice!

In reply to KylieMawdsley. What about alabaster white in basement with no natural light and black ceilings?

In reply to Sarah. Actually, Alabaster could be a great choice because it's one of the WARMER whites and could balance off that cooler north-facing light much better than MANY other whites! You could also check out SW Creamy or Whitetail for more colour/warmth, but if you're going for a white 'look', then I don't have any problem with Alabaster. It WILL lose some warmth, but I can't' see it going icy cold ;).

I’m looking at Alabaster for a north facing basement room, with a deck overhanging the biggest window. The hope is to brighten up the space, but I’m reading in some places that Alabaster can go stark and cold in a north facing room. Have you found that to be true?

Hi Kylie! I was thinking of using Alabaster on my walls in an open concept plan with low ceilings. I have white appliances. What color trim do you recommend with those walls? I know you mentioned using Alabaster for the trim too, in a different sheen. My husband tends to think that you should always have some sort of contrast? Our cabinets are a taupe/light to mid grey. I like things on the warmer side. Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Kylie! I love Alabaster. Do you think it would work in a great room/kitchen that faces northwest?
