Blue/green kitchen?!

Help! I was set on altino petrol blue doors from DIY kitchens, but I've now put the sample door in my new house's kitchen - and I don't like it Shock it looks quite dull and more grey/sage. Not bright enough.

I'm really struggling to find anything bright and modern. Preferably a turquoise colour. Any ideas?! Budget is about 5k for a small L shaped layout (only about 8 units). I'm planning a white acrylic worktop

John Lewis kitchens have some stunning blues and greens. Not turquoise (might be a bit niche) but several stunning bluey green options. Paint the walls brighter if you want bright and have a very light work surface.

Mine is Blue quartz acrylic gloss, it’s a true duck egg blue with a slight metallic shimmer. I love it but it shows every fingerprint.

Here's my Altino blue DIY kitchen if it helps any!
I love it!
It looks more blue in real life!

Ooh they do, thank you - I'd never have thought to look there! Probably pricey though...

John Lewis do moderately priced ranges (a few) but as you didn’t need many units I thought you might consider them. They did a 20% off sale last January. Their work surfaces are expensive though.
