The choice beside weathered wood and creamy linen
Weathered wood and cream linen can keep the palette subdued without asking the wall to behave like a near-white.
Set up both candidates with weathered wood and creamy linen. Use equal-sized boards with the intended finishes and place them in the same orientation. Do not put one directly beside a window and leave the other in shadow. A difference that follows the position rather than the board is a lighting observation, not evidence that the formula changed.
What the comparison can—and cannot—settle
For a second point of reference, Mount Saint Anne is recorded at LRV 41.9. The undertones and neighboring colors covers that related choice.
Decide whether the blue-gray depth gives the room enough structure before choosing white accessories. Assess Beach Glass and Quiet Moments alone as well as side by side. The unchosen board will not remain in the finished room, and a preference created only by that neighbor may not survive its removal. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
