Thoughts on this paint color-SW Divine White

Well of course, that's what happens when you use bright white trim - it just emphasizes the contrast with anything you put next to it. Get rid of the bright white trim and the yellowness of the walls will be far less noticeable. Instead, paint the trim the same color as the wall, but in a higher sheen (ie if you have flat or matte walls, paint the trim eggshell or satin, and if you have eggshell or satin walls, paint the trim semi-gloss). And for Pete's sake, get some more lighting in the room - the only way to fix a lack of light is by adding light, not paint!

Creamy can read yellow too depending of what is around it. With a cool white trim for example it will look yellow. OP, no way to advise you on the best white without knowing what your space is like and what color your trim and ceiling will be. I was solving the dilemma recently of trying to find a warm white that is not yellow. We went with BM sea pearl in the end and I am very happy with it. It is a very light greige but it will look white without anything more white than itself around.

I just painted in SW Roman column and am very happy. It is warm and has slight yellow undertones, but absolutely looks like a true white.
