What colour to paint my kitchen walls - I am rubbish at choosing - help

I know this has come up before but I'm useless at colours and don't want to make a mistake.

New Kitchen has white units/pale grey worktop and grey floor tiles and dark grey windows. It's south west facing and gets loads of light. There's going to be a seated area with cushions - not chosen these colours yet.

I was going to paint the kitchen white when I realised cos of the light white becomes too much in summer and it gets glare -y . (Prob shouldn't have white units but that's done now.)

I had thought about green but all you see when you look out the window is the grass and it's really green and you cant compete against that. I was thinking of a more toned down look - perhaps grey. But would that be too much given worktop and floor? If grey any recommendations? or other suggestions

I have very similar to you, with the exception of the floor. White cupboards and a grey worktop with an oak floor. Grey bifolds.

My walls are white as I couldn't decide on a colour. It looks lovely, bright and clean. I have bright orange stools

It was only finished about two months ago, very pleased with the finished look.

Pale blue? Or paint one wall a strong colour and follow that through with matching accessories if it will work. Keep the rest of the walls white.

It's a galley kitchen so I am not sure of one wall in a bold colour. Not sure about blue - is it not too cold?
