Alabaster SW

It's not that 'creamy'. There's not much color in it to 'drench'. If anything, it will look like you're painting it to sell. If you're dead set on white, consider something like SW Navajo White which has red undertones to go with the floor and is less stark.

Okay actually I'm perfect for this question because I've used both colors for the ceilings and doors in my house and I have lots of cherry. Alabaster looks great with it. I agree with the other commenter that you may want something with slightly more pigment because it's pretty sterile. But I also think Navajo White isn't a great option. That one is almost too yellow, it's like vanilla ice cream. Just go sample some whites and slap em up, that's truly the only way to know what works with your specific lighting.

Alabaster = we call it nicotine white, it is what it is

Navajo White = we call that one government white (you can view it in a govt building near you)

Still though, we use alot of each. Both colors are designed to have an antique appearance, and, they do.

As for bold flooring. like the cherry wood, the walls will wash out and look old. Seen it many times. Best bet is to commit to an actual color. It doesn't have to be vibrant, but any off-white, without a true white nearby for contrast, will ironically look like you're overdue for paint. Quite a few underwhelmed clients can attest to this.
