What colour would you paint new kitchen?

Need to pick a paint colour by next week and I've got decision paralysis. After choosing the kitchen/ sink/ taps/ shelving/ appliances/ windows/ flooring I'm worn out! (First world problem I know). Would love some ideas if anyone is into interior design. Do I paint all the walls one colour? Go for a feature wall in a colour and the rest neutral? Is a feature wall even a thing anymore? I've drawn on the pics where the kitchen is going.. kitchen is 'pebble' coloured a kind of light grey brown mushroomy colour.

With those colours I would go sage greens personally. Usually I would go bolder. Mine is dark red (called pucker up) and cool beige colour (quill) both from valspa. But depends how warm your neutrals as to whether it would suit yours.

Do you want deep and rich feeling or light and airy? I've never regretted choosing a deep colour but it can be enclosing.

I would choose a deep mossy green sage colour for your far wall then go warm neutrals elsewhere I think.

Devon green or leafy greens are lovely.

Definitely neutral. I'd get some paint samples on the wall and hold a kitchen door up to it to make sure it goes nicely (definitely a few shades lighter to keep the room airy). You can add colour and texture with artwork and accessories.

If the kitchen is a stone/mushroom colour, I'd recommend introducing natural wood to add interest and keep it modern and fresh.

Feature walls are a bit old hat. I'd either be bold or go for a neutral.

Hard to recommend specific colours without knowing exactly what colour the units are. Maybe go onto a few paint websites, find the colour that is closest to your units and see what they suggest, eg https://www.littlegreene.com/cool-arbour- some nice suggestions here.

Cool Arbour is a mid-tone grey shade. In some lights, a hint of khaki is evident, which is why this neutral grey paint works seamlessly with greens like Livid or Serpentine.
