    Would S Williams Greek Villa paint color look too dark, flat, or dingy in rooms/areas with low light levels? I really like it under good lighting conditions.

    struggling between Alabaster and Greek Villa. Which one will work better with low lighting, cream sofa, and light natural wood furnitures? Which one has a good balance undertone of grey and yellow that you mentioned in your video especially when the room is dark and rely on artificial lighting? Looking forward to hear from you.

      Greek Villa will be the brighter option for low lighting!

    Do you prefer the sherwin williams brand of alabaster ?

    It is definitely hard to pick a good white. Great suggestions for picking out a good white for your home.

    What would be a good white to use on the woodwork with Old White No. 4? Does Wimborne work?

    Does Alabaster pull green if you have a lot of outdoor greenery?

    Oh I hope you answer - does alabaster tend to look better than white dove?
    I sampled simply white too, and I find it so gorgeous, but I’m going for more of a soothing feel rather than bright
    I’m colored drenching most the interior in one color of our new build
    I literally go back and forth all
    Day and my builder needs an answer this week 😂

    • @BoxwoodAvenue

      Hi, I do like alabaster better than white dove - for more of a soothing feel, also try James White or Swiss Coffee at 75%. :)

      @@BoxwoodAvenue 🙈I already turned in my paint colors for our home build, I went with white dove bc it complimented our marble & light gray tiles in bathrooms better.
      I seriously hope it’s lovely bc it’s my whole house lol. I kept wanting alabaster, it’s so pretty(!!), but it just didn’t compliment all
      The gray as much as white dove.
      All my fingers🤞🏻🤞🏻on this one

    Tell me more about the sheens. What’s the standard of matte to sheen for wall base board and ceiling ?

    • @BoxwoodAvenue
      @BoxwoodAvenue  3 місяці тому +3

      This is really personal preference. I like matte, many people prefer eggshell. I think matte is more elevated! :). ALWAYS matte on ceiling.
