I am useless at choosing colours for my kitchen. It is a small galley kitchen with maple units and wall cupboards. The work top is black with specks of grey, hardly noticeable, and the floor is a dark colour like a blacky brown. The splash back tiles are like a light terracotta.
Can't say I'm much better when it comes to choosing colours, Linda, but what do you think about a very pale tan? Same tone as the back splash tiles but much lighter? I'm glad you posted pictures as there's lots going on in that room: cupboards, walls, counter, chrome appliance, white appliance, black appliances, white window trim .... A little something on the walls to create a bit more unity / calm might be just the thing?
Good luck!
I think a blue or a blue/gray would look nice in your kitchen. It is a matter of preference. A bright color would also enhance the dark counter tops. I really don't like the color swatches at the paint stores because they are so small.
Thank you for your feedback Linda & Rose. There is a bit much going on in the small room. I will have a look for some of the colours you have mentioned and see what comes up.
What is the outcome on thoughts of our new colour. I think it works and thank you for your input.
I would suggest a color away from the browns. Staying in the "brown" family is just being safe and not very inspiring. I would start with hues (colors) in colors that you are attracted to. Look in your closet and find the common color or the color that you feel your best in and one that you receive lots of compliments when you wear it. As an artist and art educator my home has many colors and I feel joy every time I go from one room to another. I play with colors in and outside of my home and you should too! Your kitchen cabinets and appliances are nice and neutral play with colors.
I have medium maple cabinets with mixed dark brown quartz countertops. I am thinking of orange paint for small areas of walls in kitchen. Also I have stainless steel appliances.

I have red maple cabinets with black/gold granite counter tops and stainless appliances in a fairly large kitchen with lots of light. It is partially open to a dark green/cream painted living room. What paint color will match for the kitchen? (Something other than mustard yellow or beige/brown which makes my walls look pink.)

I need help with what color to paint the kitchen walls and the color for curtains? or Roman shades? I have light golden maple wood kitchen cabinets and ceramic 12x12 floor (called Caribbean Slate from Lowe's, it's a light neutral tile, which has gray/silver with green hues mixed with splashes of sand, beige, and cream tones- so neutral goes with practically anything). I am thinking of getting a darker granite counter with some black in it, and stainless steel appliances.
The color in our dining room, which is separated by an archway, is a chocolate beige (Benjamin Moore Big Bend Beige). I'm thinking of just going with a beige to play it safe, but want to have color so thinking yellow? or gray color w/ slight green undertone? or green/sage? or bronze brass reddish color? I'm all over the map and not sure what direction to go. I could really use any help. Thanks.By Ellen D. from Lakewood, NJ

What color should I paint my kitchen with spice maple cabinets and new Venetian gold granite?
We renovated our Colonial in 2006. We updated the kitchen with maple toffee cabinets and Dakota mahogany granite countertops. I would like to brighten and neutralize the kitchen and do a backsplash to help it sell.

I just had a new kitchen installed with natural maple cabinets, maple floor, white Corian countertops and appliances. My kitchen flows into the dining area and living room.
I have Maple color cabinets and Corian beige counter tops. The floor is cream. I wanted to know if wild honey color and a red ink color would fit in the kitchen?
