Decision fatigue - paint colours for kitchen diner?

[eelsupinsideya]

Towards the end of some very long renovations and about to choose paint colours. I should be excited but am so sick of all the building work I just can't - please help!
Kitchen diner is on the back of the house, south facing and has light/dove grey shaker units. Worktops are a dark grey/brown pine colour, floors will be similar. I want a pale scrubbable paint colour for the kitchen walls that will tone with the grey units, and maybe a different colour for the wall at the dining end of the kitchen to differentiate it a bit. (I know I know its a feature wall).

Its a large space so F&B would be costly, I could get something mixed to match if they can mix a scrubbable version.

Its a big room so could take a strong colour on the feature wall. I had thought I wanted a dark blue but now think it might look too cool for such a sunny room.

For the main colour I was looking at timeless and egyptian cotton but timeless looks too white and egyptian cotton too dark - is there anything in between the two?

Any suggestions? Ideally I'd take the the main colour through to the adjoining 'middle' (dining) room and the north facing hall.

Thanks!

Can you post a pic of the units and I will have a think

Little Green's Limestone is a light grey, slightly beige depending on the light that I have just used to update my kitchen. I had it mixed into Johnstones trade paint. That might do for the main colour.

Hard to tell without a photo but if it helps, we have Egyptian cotton and end wall of the dining room is overtly olive and they seem to go ok (I’m no interior design expert though!)

We have Egyptian cotton in our hallway too and it looks completely different, even on different walls in the same room so I would test it (or any colour) on a few walls first.

Completely understand the decision fatigue, we spent so long picking fine details of house refurb at the start then you should see how quickly we plumped for things at the end.

decision fatigue - yes to this - do you know that I didn't even bother with a tester, just used the colour someone recommended 😂 for two rooms.

I have done the same this week with my hall stairs and landing - huge space as I have got three storeys. Elephants breath it is, without testing.

It isn't that I haven't spent hours looking at paint and even tried five testers but I didn't like any of them so just chose colours someone recommended.

Ha ha I'm glad other people feel my pain!
Thanks all. Will have a look at the liitle green colour suggested.
I really like Egyptian Cotton but is possibly a bit darker that I want. I love overtly olive but DH isn't keen, quite like the idea of a dark blue but not sure if its kitcheney enough.
I did the same with the living room, picked 2 colours that had been recommended and went with them, looked ok fortunately

Will try and post a picture!

I think Crown stone white would work

I've used it in lots of my rooms
You can buy it in a scrubable matt
Re a feature wall I would wait and see if it needs it
Then I might be tempted with a wallpaper instead of paint

Do you like any of these?

Cheers will add stone white to my list!
Love those wallpapers (as would my DD!) My only worry would be with a kitchen diner about wallpaper getting greasy/grubby.
Thanks all

photos of limestone in my south facing snug and my north facing kitchen OP, definitely more grey than beige/natural.

Oooh that looks a lovely colour! Def going off to test that one!

Hard to photoshop colours isn’t it- I am not sure the first photo looks as grey as my eyes see it!

Photo not photoshop!

Dulux have a colour app. You take a photo of the room, then scroll through the colours, putting them actually in the space on the photo. It's genius - so quick and easy to use.

Teal as the primary colour and if the room lends itself to some chocolate brown or mushroom
It depends on what pictures soft furnishings you have, and like.

I lost hours to that app seahorseshoe .... and still used colours I hadn’t even tried 😂.

In my experience, Timeless works very well as a backgound neutral tie-ing all rooms together. You can add any accent colours to a room, and Timeless works. So if you want a dark blue feature wall in the kitchen, and a burgundy wall in another, and dark grey in another -- Timeless is your friend!
Also comes in scrub-able kitchen/bathroom. It's so easy to clean that we haven't needed a splash back behind our hob. Spaghetti sauce, bacon fat, whatever - it wipes straight off. I was amazed.

Regarding whether blue works well in a kitchen - the lovely thing about a feature wall is that you can easily change it when you're tired of it. So if you like it now, go for it.

Dulux diamond mat from the trade counter will mix any colour, is flat mat and wipe clean.

I use the regular dulux test pots to decide on the colour then buy diamond mat.

I second the Dulux diamond mat. That's the product we've used in kitchen, barthrooms, and for the stairs/hall. Great stuff. Wipes clean so easily.

Mizzle
Or this wallpaper

Oooh that wallpaper looks lovely!
Thanks for the diamond matt tip, I was going to buy the endurance paint but maybe that is better.
I was going to use timeless from the start, but it just looked very white, I was looking for a slighly greyer toned white, but not too grey - I'm a nightmare!
I have the visualiser app but since the walls have been plastered rather than painted yet it looks all splodgy on the photos so you don't get a very clear idea of what the solid colour will look like.
Thanks for all your suggestions, I am sure whatever we pick will look better than it looks now at least!!

Sail white has a grey tone (Dulux)
