Which white paint should I use for making "antique" kitchen cabinets?

We are planning to sand our dark cabinets (they are about 40 years old but in great shape) and paint them white. There are so many kinds of white and I plan to antique them after painting them white.

Dove white is softer white...very popular. Super white is crispier, brighter.Those colors are Benjamin Moore
Sherman Williams emerald urethane trim enamel..is the best... I am repainting mine because I saw the results of my friends cabinets...
Bettina,
We started with Dove white and decided we did not like it with the other colors we had going on in the kitchen and switched to Linen white. Think about all the other colors your kitchen will be, bring home some samples, and test paint some scrap wood or one door and see what you like best.
My favorite is Benjamin Moore White Dove. Good luck with you project!
You can use any paint ... to have "antique" look you need glazing
