Is White Paint Racist?

[IronWing]

Unfortunately, it's a real life trend. At least 80% of home buyers treat houses as an investment. Plain, straight and, boring seems to be what buyers look for. Offending the least amount of people has become the new religion. Living is what you do After you retire.

I prefer white kitchens as more light is more better for working. Dark kitchen says "alcoholics live here". Prove me wrong.

Don't get me started on granite counter tops, stupidest fad ever.

Granite counter-top is a fad? They've been pretty standard since the 90's...

Still a fad, a horrid, terribad, genuinely dumb fad.

I'm not quite understanding this take, what is your issue with granite?

It's hard enough to scratch knifes, it's loud, and you can spill a quart of spaghetti sauce on it and not notice. It's a poor choice for countertops. Mausoleum walls? Monumental sculptures of Ironwing? Sure, but not countertops.

Yeah, sorry still not getting that take. It's durable, it looks good and it's easy to clean. I'll take that over most anything else you put on your counter tops. What is your preferred choice for a home kitchen?

Yea, I really don't like white. It's boring.

I hate the color on sheet rock walls. I see a lot of apartments with that color and not a lot of paintings or any at all on their walls. It is a boring color. I can see white being on cabinets in the kitchen and the bathroom sink and tub. My last Apt the color on my walls was light green and the one I live now is a light yellow.

Quartz is better. I'd pick Formica over granite any day.

Lets agree to disagree here. Quartz can be ok, but good luck finding one that isn't fugly unless you want white.

You act like the color choice is binary. You can't blame the color of the kitchen for bad lighting. Why would anyone use a knife directly on granite countertops? Loud? Kitchens are loud by nature. Hides spaghetti sauce, just means you're lazy at wiping down counters. The only thing I have against granite countertops is the cost. I've also seen a ton of crappy kitchens where granite was used just so the builder could charge a premium.

fuck that. IMO, Formica is the lowest choice...maybe just ahead of tile.... I liked the granite in our last house...but LOVE the quartz/silestone in this place.

my white kitchen isnt racist, one of my best friends has a black kitchen.

At Lowes, I buy Olympic One paints. A little known fact is you can select swatches from different companies and mix/match paints/colors. Your finished colors may differ slightly, but it works pretty well since most base colors are fairly similar.

Since I'm a Lowe's shopper more, I typically use Olympic One paints and Sherwin Williams colors.

I recommend you checking all colors at Home Depot and seeing what options you have for Eggshell. Those are usually the best "off white" colors if you're going for cream.
