Revere Pewter is a medium shade. It's much darker than White Dove. Since the room faces north and it's probably frequently overcast, it's not what I would choose. White Dove or natural wood/white oak (or a mix) seems like it would be a good choice. Not all slabs of Taj Mahal are the same, so be sure to look at the color next to your slab before committing yourself.

White Dove already has almost no color to it. Lightening it by 25% means it's virtually colorless, and unreproducible in any professional cabinet finish. Find an actual color that you like, and have that matched in a pro finish. None of that reducing the pigment stuff either. That doesnt' really work the way people think it does.

BM White Dove would be my choice, especially with the north light.

BM Revere Pewter will take on a much darker look in that light, even though it looks relatively light, it will show much darker... and grayer. not what I would like in the PNW.

as I read ^ regardless if you can reproduce the White Dove after you have cut it a % BM White Dove straight would be a better option than choosing a totally different color.

I still vote for BM White Dove, as is.

Yes, the White Dove is definitely light on the walls! It was a compromise between my husband and myself, we might be overcompensating for the wall darkness in our current house. But we are both happy with it so that is a bonus!

This is all great advice. I don't mind having contrast, but I definitely don't want the kitchen to feel super dark. I really appreciate the feedback. Thank you!

@chispa Oh, yikes! I definitely don't want that!

I had inquired about a sample door but found out it would cost me about $325 just for the sample. That seems a bit steep, so I thought I would ask all the wonderful people on Houzz first.

I would play it safe, and use the exact color you have on the wall for the cabinets. You can bring colors in as accessories and art work, etc. I would not choose revere pewter either.

$325 is pretty gosh darn cheap for a gallon of $130 of primer, and $180 Paint, plus the time to set up the spray rig, spray, and then 100% clean it out, ready to go for a different color. Plus the cost of the raw door. In the end, that's subsidized work, with the hope that you get unstuck and move forward.

You want a bad color when 325.00 can prevent a re do or a kitchen you hate?!

A lot of cabinet companies will match ANY paint formula you give them. No matter how you have adjusted a "chip" color

I do it all the time. This green? It has no name or number...But it is Ben Moore: ) No Name No Number
