White appliances look best with walls that either match their clean white or contrast with soft color, like light blue-greens, sage or warm greige. The mistake is a cream wall that's almost-but-not-quite white, which makes the appliances look yellowed.

Match cabinet white to the appliance white, then add color on walls, an island or backsplash. Hold a paint chip right against the fridge door before choosing.
White washers and dryers look fresh with light blue-green or sage. Use semi-gloss for easy cleaning.
A small white fridge looks built-in when the surrounding cabinets are the same clean white.
White cabinets in a matching clean white make appliances blend in. For contrast, try navy, sage or wood lower cabinets with white uppers.
Use crisp white walls or cabinets, add black or brass hardware, and bring in warm wood. Avoid beige-pink and yellow tones that date the room.
Not exactly the same, but in the same family. A clean white like Chantilly Lace or Extra White works with most white appliances; test a sample against the fridge first.
Yes. Light, nearly neutral grays like Repose Gray or Gray Owl frame white appliances well. Avoid very warm greige if your appliances are cool white.
