Diy-kitchens - alabaster or cashmere?

I went to diy-kitchens showroom yesterday- liked the Silsden range but cannot pick a colour! I would like a neutral colour but Alabaster seems to have a yellow tint, Cashmere - slightly pink/purple and white is just too bright!
Any ideas/suggestions welcome!

I haven’t seen it in the flesh but mussel looks pretty neutral.

Alabaster is the more neutral of the two. Cashmere is much warmer and pink toned. I've had kitchens in both and Alabaster once fitted looked like an off white

I have mussel and I love, love, love it!

Also, we went to the showroom to narrow it down and then had a few samples to try out (the little blocks). Once we had really got it down to two, I ordered the mini doors and tried them in all different areas of the room to be sure of how it looked in different lights. If you then order a kitchen you just give them the mini-doors back when it arrives, or post them if you don't order.
I thought both cashmere and alabaster were a bit too creamy so we were down to mussel or tern white. Really, really delighted we went for mussel.

What colour does mussel look in your kitchen? Just interested because we have it in a south facing kitchen, very light, and it’s a creamy colour, greyish-green undertones, sometimes a bit beige even. Our worktop is quartz, almost exactly the same colour. I also love it 😍

We have the Malton in Alabaster. I think Alabaster is a tricky colour. It definitely has a green undertone. It's very similar in colour to Farrow & Ball's James White.

Definitely order door samples in a couple of colours so you can see in situ.
