The floor finish is the reference
Judge Greek Villa against your actual wood finish, not a generic wood species label. The starting material direction here is white quartz and natural oak cabinet fronts. Greek Villa's high reflectance leaves warmth, rather than basic lightness, as the more useful distinction from other bright whites.
Quartz often occupies a continuous hard edge against painted cabinets, making that boundary more consequential than the furniture elsewhere.
Test the dominant wood color, not one grain line
View Greek Villa vertically where it meets the installed timber. The floor can make a light white look warmer by comparison, but that does not establish a universal undertone. Include the existing trim so the wall is approved between both fixed neighbors rather than against wood alone.
Greek Villa has an LRV of 84; Sherwin-Williams Alabaster SW-7008 is 82. The difference is 2 points, with Greek Villa returning more light under the reference measurement.
The condition for keeping Greek Villa
Compare the painted sample directly against the quartz edge before approving a whole wall.
Keep the Greek Villa board vertical at the floor edge. A match to one pale grain line can misrepresent the dominant color across the installed floor. Judge the broad timber background from standing height. If the floor will be refinished, repeat the comparison with the approved new stain sample before ordering the wall paint. The coordinating color options covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
