Grey kitchen cupboards... What colour to paint kitchen walls?

I have just bought my first house. From memory I thought the kitchen cupboards were cream/beige but since getting my keys I have realised they are more grey. Dark wooden worktops. I had planned to paint the walls a soft grey but that would now be too much grey. The living room will be an olive/sage green. Ideas welcome!

Navy walls?

Mine are grey, I hate grey! So we painted the walls pink. I still hate the grey... but it looks a little better I think!

I have grey cabinets, red tiles, a red wall, and two other walls which are very light grey. I absolutely love it

My kitchen has dark grey doors which I wasn’t thrilled about, but we have mixed it with pastels and it looks lovely and gets lots of compliments

The world's your oyster. Grey will go with pretty much anything.

A dijon mustard colour looks great with grey cabinets and white woodwork
