Anyone ever used Farrow and Ball Lamp Room Gray with white...? Thinking of kitchen combos and don't like cream

I really want to use Lamp Room Grey for base unit cupboard doors in kitchen (MFD spray painted). And white for the upper cupboards, back painted splash back and walls (one main wall opposite the long run of services, which is broken up by two huge windows) and ceiling and end wall (with concertina doors in oak). 60 x 60 grey unglazed porcelain floor tiles and wide stave oak long worktop.

The F&B colour scheme suggestions used slippered satin and shaded white - but they look too brown/beige for me. I like white.

I went back to the store and they suggested Wimbourne White or All White. I shall try and test tonight.

But I want it to look warm but more white than cream, if that makes sense. Anyone had any experience of this? Or any suggestions?

Thanks very much

I've used All White in a kitchen and it is just white, probably couldn't really tell the difference between that and Dulux. Have used Wimborne White in our current kitchen and it's lovely! Like you I wanted a slightly warmer white and this is it. It is ever so lightly creamy depending on the light but def more white than cream. We have Bone on our kitchen units (also sprayed painted MDF) and it looks really nice! I've also used Slipper Satin in other areas of the house and I love it, but it is definitely not white, but more cream.

I have Pavillion Grey (which is a bit lighter than Lamp Room Grey) in our sitting room with Strong White woodwork it looks gorgeous! But Strong White definitely is a grey white not a creamy white.

Hope that helps.

We have slipper satin sprayed MDF kitchen. And have also used the colour on walls in other rooms in the house. It looks good in all lights but it is definitely a warm off-white, almost quite pink so it doesn't sound like what you are looking for.
