This is often the case if the rest of the trim in the house is off white or if the counters or flooring in the kitchen are on the warm side of the color spectrum.

But here is my dilemma.
If the walls are white or off white you pretty much have to go for a darker color for the cabinets and the obverse is true that if the walls are a dark color you should go with a lighter color.
It can be risky to mix and match whites as one can easily make another look dirty warm cool etc.
Instead of painting the trim the exact cream which is never always exact given how light and placement plays such a large part split the difference for a warmer white for the trim and paneling.
Instead of painting the trim the same as the walls you could consider a color that would compliment other finishes in your kitchen even something darker so that you notice the view out the window not the window trim but if you have a lot of trim and light walls it could look like you are outlining the room in the trim.
For example if your counters have a lot of brown or yellow tones then an off white color can be a great compliment.
