I wanted a pale warm gray for the living room... something more modern than the current ivory walls, but neutral enough to run all the way into the hallway and compliment the sage of the dining room. Even thought this color is marketed as 'creme', it reads gray in my space, especially against the white trim.
The walls and trim had been the same aging ivory color as the door. I really like the clean crisp feel of the white and silver. It'll be on my to-do list for next spring to take the doors off their hinges so I can scrape, sand, and paint.
