Color of your kitchen? Trying to decide.

[CountryWolf07]

So, what color is your kitchen? Mike and I are trying to decide on what it should be. The thing is, our living room/eating area will be side by side by the kitchen, so the colors would have to 100% look/feel right. This is the current color of our living room: http://www.sherwin-williams.com/do_i.../color/SW7038/ - Tony Taupe. It's a warm brown/beige neutral color. Suggestions?

How about a sunny pale yellow?

Are you meaning the walls, or cabinets, or counters or appliances?

I wanted to try to avoid yellow as the color.. it's for the wall colors - appliances will be black. The countertop is marbled gray/black. The cabinets are a light colored tan. One light/fan, one big window. So there'll be a lot of light during the day.

What about seafoam? Slight tinge of green but very light and airy looking.

In my kitchen I have black/brushed stainless appliances, oak cabinets, the countertops are speckled light blue/gray and the ceramic tile splash all around is a light blue/gray. Right now the walls are papered with a washable type of wallcovering with an off white background, and a small flower print in pale mauve and blue. Would probably go with medium to light mauve or blue if we decided to paint.

The wallpaper in my kitchen (fortunately, it's only on 2 of the 4 walls) is this bright blue with white pin stripes. The cabinets are white laminate with a light wood trim, and the floor is white vinyl. I want to take this eye popping blue down and paint it just a flat white or eggshell, and replace the white tile with Pergo flooring. The kitchen is only 10' x 10' so I'm thinking a light color might make it feel bigger.

Very pretty color! What is it called? I put Behr Cracked Wheat in my kitchen and I *love* it. It is very similar to your color, just a little lighter, when the sun shines brightly but on cloudier days it is more subtle and has an ivory hue to it.

Looks great, and that's about what I had in mind!

I went with Sherwin Williams' "Jersey Cream".. it looks very light in the daytime, but at night, you can easily see the color. I like it. It goes VERY well with the dining room/living room color.
