Help me choose a colour for the kitchen walls!

Can someone help me choose a paint to go with our sage green kitchen cupboards, please!

I feel boring and stuck in an interior design rut. Throw me a line of inspiration.

Rural cottage if that helps.

Yes, too much green.

Parchment or Old White

White is very practical in a kitchen and easy to touch up. Perfect with green, and less "ice cream" than pink. Clay shades would work. You need to bear in mind the aspect of the room-north and east rooms can look hardship with cold tones, even of whites.

Nowt wrong with pale pink. Our last kitchen was, and new one is too, with green units. Looks great, and was chosen by DH, as I am congenitally unable to make decisions 😁

I just mentioned pink to DH and he seemed receptive!

Something with a pink / neutral tone such as a dried plaster colour? F&B and Craig & Rose both have a plaster / setting plaster etc colour available

Not too “pink” then so easier to convince DH?

Big fan of F&B myself due to its subtle colour changes depending on light

Farrow and Ball Wimborne White
Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Grey (beautiful warm neutral goes with most colours. Like a soft stone colour)
You can get these colour matched cheaper!

prettyrainbows · 02/02/2023 08:19

This is Edgecomb. One of my favourite neutrals.

@prettyrainbows where would you get Benjamin Moore paints From?

ChatSamosa · 02/02/2023 08:27

I've just painted my kitchen in Little Greene 'Green Stone -Light'

Check out Dulux Egyptian Cotton. Not a million miles away from the Benjamin Moore paint colour above. I have it paired with F & B Pigeon in my kitchen.

VickerishAllsort · 02/02/2023 11:14

For the record ours is Farrow & Ball Tailor Tack - palest of pales with a slight warmth.

They are a company in the UK that colour match any make of paint. I've had endless Benjamin Moore and Farrow and Ball colour matches from them at a fraction of the price of the brands - and the colour and quality of the paint is amazing.

Floofyduffypuddy · 02/02/2023 11:44

Brilliant thank

That's lovely. Hadn't seen that one.

mug2018 · 02/02/2023 11:52

Definitely a dusty rose pink

I really like pale pink as it's something different. But I'm not sure if we'd need a contract wall 🤔

Sky blue, with something red in there too, like a vase or bowl.

We went with dusky pink/ almost a fresh plaster colour! Just put the first coat on this evening but quite happy with the colour so far!
