The decision for this particular color

Alabaster can be considered for kitchen cabinets if its color and depth suit the space; the first design question is two alabasters, two different color decisions. Alabaster OC-129 has a pink-white identity that should not inherit the warm-white advice written for SW-7008.

Why the pink-beige stone and ivory fabric relationship matters

Pink-beige stone offers a reason to consider that blush, but the authentic Benjamin Moore sample must establish the actual relationship.

Alabaster has an LRV of 85.08; Sherwin-Williams Alabaster SW-7008 is 82. The difference is 3.08 points, with Alabaster returning more light under the reference measurement.

Put the countertop and lower door together

Fit the Alabaster sample against the countertop and the existing appliance or cabinet white. Check the long horizontal joint as well as a corner. Close whites can disagree across a full cabinet run even when separate chips look similar, so approve that boundary before considering hardware.

Color approval and cabinet performance are separate

Specify OC-129 on the sample and judge its pink note; do not transfer advice about SW-7008. The trim color comparison covers that related choice. The coordinating color options covers that related choice.

Select a coating intended for the actual cabinet surface and follow its preparation, priming and cure instructions. The OC-129 color code does not establish adhesion, stain resistance or cleaning performance. Approve the intended sheen on a sample door; reflections on a finished cabinet can differ from those on a flat wall board. The wood-floor pairing guide covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
