Hi I am having built ins constructed for my family room. I am trying to find a nice soft creamy white color.  My contractor painted me a sample color of the BM White Down CC-50 and it was too dark and looked very yellow. Problem is that my room faces north and does not receive a lot of natural light.  We do have recessed halogen lighting in the room.

Can anybody suggest a nice soft creamy white to use in the lighting conditions that are existing.

 

Thanks Cindy

The most popular white with designers is Cloud White by BM  #40.  I have painted all my trim and ceilings that colour.  Check it out.
