Is BM "Moonshine" best against the natural light finished red oak or is "Swiss coffee" best? Depends on how you want to define best. Moonshine is in the green hue family. It's very pale and it's grayed down, but it's a green. Next to red oak, its green characteristics will be even more prominent. Technically, it's a good pairing because red and green are complementary colors. When closely juxtaposed in context, two complementary colors enhance the inherent masstone of each other. Complementary color schemes are the most dynamic or energetic because of the hi level of hue contrast. Swiss Coffee is likely going to show more creamy. Depending on light sources, could be almost a buttercream. SC is probably the more classic choice for a Spanish bungalow. Classic doesn't mean more *correct* it just means classic, no more no less. Contrast would be less than Moonshine, the red oak would be less pronounced. Both would work as neutrals with future additions, elements to the room. If you've tested and both colors render nicely in the space, it might just come down to picking the one you like best.

This link gives a good representation of Maritime White OC5. You can see the different shades. Low light under the windows reads darker and bright light in the corner brings out a yellow tint. Although, I would not say this paint "reads yellow" at all. I think the bright light brings out the warmer hue. I hope the link works for you. If not, google BM Maritime White OC5 and you will get a lot of photos.

Thank you Patricia, we will select another color. We have hardwood floors and a Pecky Cypress ceiling. Our countertops are Dolce Vita, honed. We are trying to create a warm, inviting kitchen w/o being busy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This is interesting. The two colors are very similar. If you think Swiss Coffee is prettier and you'd prefer it on the walls, I say get a sample and see what it looks like. Assuming your trim has some gloss, like satin, do a matte finish on the walls.
