How to bring out green undertones?

Hi all, grey green kitchen going in in a few weeks and am looking at paint, tiles etc. I would like to bring out the green undertones in the doors as much as possible but haven't got a clue how. Everything online is about how to get rid of the green. And I thought someone on here may know what I need to do\ colours to use etc. to help the green come through?
Thanks

It’s difficult to say exactly what colour would look best without seeing the exact colour of the units, but generally speaking reddish tones would bring out green. Reddish includes pinks, oranges, and of course red.

As your kitchen units sound quite muted, you probably want to stay away from strong red colours. More muted reds are the way to go.

Alternatively, I guess that a cream colour might also work. The green wouldn’t come out as strongly, but on the plus side, it’s shouldn’t be too hard to find a shade of cream that works with the colour of those units. Red shades are just a little more tricky 🤔

@Crazzzycat thanks that's really helpful. I think I need to get a load of paint testers for the one main wall. I have a huge great rug 3m by 4m for the dining room from my grandparents old house I have never found a spot for. It has reds in it so I may try it there.

Brown will also bring out the green, especially if it’s reddish brown. We have faux leather bar stools, a deep tan colour, and they bring out the green in our dark green grey island. We also have olive wood and terracotta items dotted around plus a big copper velvet cushion, these all have the same effect.
