Does all white paint look cheap on a 70s house

[Lily Wang]

I'm planning my first flip now. I've noticed that the all white wall +white cabinet+black hardwares is really popular. most of the new constructions that are selling fast are using this. 

I've decieded to use white shaker cabinet (maybe two tones)+black haredware+oak color floor. but not pretty sure about the wall color. if I do pure white/extra white for the wall. two things that i'm concerned about. first, there is no contrast bewteen the cabinet and the wall; second, a 70's house is low ceiling, less natural light, texured on the ceiling (kind of porpcorn ceiling). I doubt it might looks cheap.

what are your recommendations for the wall color in this situaiton? could you please advice? Thank you.
