What colour for kitchen walls

In the process of having a new kitchen fitted and delighted with everything so far. However, we completely lack imagination over any decorating project and have no idea what colour to put on the walls. The units are a matt pale cream, walnut worktops and tawny chestnut floor. Appliances black/steel and black glass splash back . Please inspire me!
I can't post photos as there is nothing much to photograph at this stage.

What about green?
F&b Mizzle is my favourite
It's like a free Greeny/grey

I do like green so will have a look at your suggestion.

I've just painted my kitchen in f&b Dorset cream and it looks good. A very rich dark yellow.its a tiny kitchen but the colour makes it look warm and spacious.

I've got my units painted in a copy of f and b skimming stone, oak effect worktops and walls in dulux heritage clear skies which is a light, fresh blue. I will try to post a pic.

Just painted mine Johnson's copy of F&B's Ash Grey. It is definitely green rather than grey, despite the name. Though the undertone is more grey, rather than for example, ball green's more yellow undertone.
I absolutely love it. I would say it is a bit warmer than Mizzle as someone upthread mentioned and a good bit darker too, but definitely not overly dark when on the wall.

I really want a kitchen in F&B Arsenic.

Tranquil Dawn, dulux diamond Matt. Beautiful green. I have it in my kitchen and utility and I love it

How light is the room? Walnut worktops and black splash backs may need a lighter colour on the wall - F&B pale powder is a kind of duck egg blue and is lovely. If it can take a stronger colour then maybe a petrol blue?

Agree with the first poster on green. Sage green is becoming the new neutral and will be around for quite a few years, so it's a good investment. F&B do a number of sage greens (you can top off and get B&Q to mix) and I personally would suggest an ever so slightly bolder version of what the first poster suggested. So 'lichen' or 'breakfast room' could be good choices.
