Paint colours for kitchen

Buy some sample pots in the shades you are thinking of and paint these in different places on the walls you wish to paint to show them in different lights. This way, you might find the one that suits best. Good luck. Your kitchen looks lovely, by the way. ?

Chewbacca - now I'm busy looking at the colours you mentioned!

You can't judge from those tiddly squares on the colour charts. Get some sample pots, paint each of them onto a separate piece of thin cardboard (from a cereal packet?) and let them dry, then hold each in turn up against the wall and the tiles.

Whatever others suggest, you are the only one who can choose what appeals to you .

Crossed posts, *Mapleleaf. I prefer the cardboard way, because you can move them around to places where the light falls differently - and you don't have to paint over them. If the cardboard isn't white to start with, you really need two coats on it.

I'd like to suggest Farrow and Ball Cabbage white You can get a sample to try. It looks a similar colour to your tiles but maybe ever so slightly darker. I always go with light colours for walls and then put darker/striking pictures on.

Here is a better pic of cupboards and wall.

Sage green would look nice if you like sage green!

Won’t sage green clash with the tiles though?

Oh, nice. What about a vaguely pale plaster colour? Little Green do a clay range

Mushroomy shades would work too I think.

Elegran that's the way I do it - I paint three of four bits of card with the primer and sample pot and tape them up around the room. It's surprising the difference that lighting, sunshine and shade can make.

Make sure you stir sample pots as well as you would full size ones - I failed to do that once and the colour on my card was very different to the end result on the wall. Fortunately I liked the wall even better than the card

Sago

Look at rolling fog from little green paint co.
It’s a kind of soft brown that comes in 3 shades.

This is the sort of mushroomy colour I wondered about Sago

What t colour did you go for in the end ? Your kitchen is lovely by the way !

I think I would choose a golden colour.

How about Dulux marine splash tester, just to try, its a hot aquamarine!!!

I'd have the walls as close to the colour of the tiles as possible, then accessorise with a brighter contrasting colours for blinds, tea towels, kettle etc. You can then change the whole look of your kitchen just by changing the accessories.

I'd err on the side of neutral to enlarge your spacial perception. Either exactly same shade as tiles or cupboards. I wouldn't chop the effect up with yet another shade. Ultimately it's your preference though. Get loads of shade samples ,/pots paint onto A4 paper and blue tack on walls, the best shade for you should scream at you!!! Good luck!

I would match either the colour of the tiles or the cupboards, possibly a darker shade, for the walls and live with it for a while. Kitchens are busy places with many 'accessories' around and I would hesitate to introduce another colour until I was really sure it would go.

Hello everyone. You were kind enough to give me paint ideas for my new kitchen. At long last it has been painted today!
I chose the colour Cromarty from Farrow and Ball and I am delighted with this colour. It matches tiles well and has a lovely calming effect on the walls.
Now need ideas for how to use all the testers I have as I was trying to choose a colour!
