Best kitchen colour for a contemporary home

I’m having a new kitchen in January. It’s a very small kitchen we’ve chosen wrens sea foam. It’s the lightest of light sage. Anyone else had this colour? I’d love midnight blue it’s my favourite colour but my kitchen is far too small to carry it off.

I think its always wise to keep the cabinets and work surfaces in the neutral range as they are the bits you live with longest. Its far easier to change the colour of your walls than your cupboards. I have also realised that paler worksurfaces are a better option especially if space or lighting is an issue.
Apart from that its very personal and I really believe a kitchen should be a personal choice - there is nothing worse than a kitchen that does not fit your personality. We once moved into a house that had a huge expensive kitchen that at first I liked but I soon realised I really was not a black shiny marble person.....much more into gentle neutrals!

Our neighbours have all black.
It seems very depressing to me, but they seem happy with it.
Ours are cream and white.

This is all giving me kitchen envy .

Whatever colours you decide remember you have to live with it for a long time.

Wall colours are easier to change then kitchens.

We don't tend to change kitchens when the style changes.

Some styles are classics, like Shaker, wood and painted finishes. At least there's the possibility of changing just the doors and drawer fronts, even the handles, rather than the cabinets. I like a kitchen to be cosy and welcoming. I dislike white, stainless steel and high gloss finishes as they tend to look as cold as a science laboratory.

I have gloss kitchen units, one wall of dark grey housing ovens fridge and freezer, rest of kitchen is in white gloss. Floor in light grey Amtico and worktops in Corian, white with grey flecks. Walls are light mauvish grey. Ovens, microwave, toaster, kettle and cannisters are in brushed steel as are two window blinds.
I also have two very large brushed steel radiators which break up an otherwise large expanse of wall.

I think your kitchen will depend on what type of light you get at what time of day. My kitchen gets the morning sun from dawn until lunchtime.
