[quote=Anonymous]Since you have dark cabinets, the whiter your walls, the higher the contrast and the starker and less cozy. For warmth and coziness you're better off with more depth of color. It might look dark on the chip but once you've put it on the walls it will look fantastic. If you find the LRV of the paint color it should be between 50-70. Go for a greige whole-house neutral. You really can't go wrong with any of the tried and true greiges that people blog about all the time. If you want to narrow it down you can look for a green undertone, since people say that's the most versatile. I have in my house a lilac undertone greige and I love it. Go for a tonal color (2 shades lighter on the color chart) for trim. That means not bright white. Last but not least when you get to decor, to brighten things up, add tons of lamps, reflective things like mirrors and metal frames, lighter colored rugs, blankets and chairs. The more texture the better. [/quote]
