We have dulux whisper white cabinetry and it is lovely soft/warm but I made mistake of using non-tinted ceiling paint and even with bulkhead divide it looks too stark white (or makes cabinetry look too creamy). Since I can't change the cabinetry, I think I will eventually go over ceiling with 1/4 tint whisper white.

I would vote for the top example here. Itr gives an earthy tone to the room and yet is still bright and wont show every piece of dust or food.

What colour polytec goes the best with essastone chalkstone? Classic white or polar white. Need for laundry.The floor is a mid grey. Tiny laundry, the entry door and trim is lexicon half. Not sure if this comes into account. Just next to the laundry is the bathroom which will be having cool white wall tiles, with the same grey floor tiles. Thank you:)

Love white cabinetry and would do bench top in white too. Think with the peachy cream floor and sandy beige walls, adding a 3rd colour might be too much. And if you make the cabinets and benchtop in similar shades to walls or floor, it might be beige overload! A white might lift it. Maybe post a pic of the floor so we can see how peachy or creamy it is.
