Latest Comments Sara McLean Hi Christianna - this is Sara McLean from Dunn-Edwards. Here are some modern color choices to complement Birch White and highlight the bleached coastal look: For a creamier look without being too yellow, test out DE5358 Ivory Oats, DEC742 Cameo, and DE5449 Moonstruck. Or, test out these beach colors for a less creamy look: DE5498 Calla Lilly, DE5505 Natural Light, DE6171 Sand Dollar. One last trend is blue in the kitchen; try DE6296 Sculptural Silver. Beautiful with Birch White. Happy painting! READ MORE Christianna Painting interior soca coastal condo. I want an updated/modern beachy sun bleached look. I have cottage white kitchen cabinets. Floors and blinds are a cherry laminate. I opened up the kitchen, removing part of a wall and door, to the living room. I had orginally thought about painting the kitchen walls creamy yellow and the rest of the condo Birch White. My concern: yellow kitchen walls will pop too much into the living area. What are good kitchen wall colors for beachy look to match Birch? READ MORE Sara McLean Hi Andrea - this is Sara McLean from Dunn-Edwards. Flaxen will be a great addition. I've seen it in homes and it looks stunning. Two other choices that are warm but with less yellow are: DEC745 Chaparral and DE6157 Bisque Tan. A great test is to place fabric and wood samples on a painted surface to see how the palette ties together. See it outside and inside to gauge the color and light changes. This will provide extra help on getting the perfect shade for the home. Happy painting! READ MORE
