What colour walls with dark grey kitchen?

We have got a new kitchen after yuck agonising. Gone for dark grey cupboards and white marbled work surfaces, antique brass handles and oak flooring. The room is open to a dining room where we will have a big oak table, then we have some light grey units at the back of the room.

I think we are going to go for f&b blackened paint on most of the walls, but wondering if we should have an accent colour somewhere - either the top wall with the dark grey cupboards, or the back wall with the light grey ones. Maybe a colour that we could then match dining chairs and curtains to. I've thought of about a thousand options but haven't come to any conclusions - please help!!!

Pompeii red or deep teal green.

Ooo @AdaColeman those sound like two quite bold choices! Would you put the colour at the top of the room with all the dark grey kitchen h it's, or the bottom with the light grey cupboards?

I love this voile - would orange work as an accent do you think?

A nice ochre?

@Mistressofnone I do love ochre but I have done our bedroom in those shades and fancy something different

We have a similar sounding kitchen and have this on one wall:

Then some orange accents, clock, in the blind, one of the tea/coffee/sugar pots etc. We have almond white everywhere else.

Love f&b paint but have v young kids so need completely wipe clean paint or it just looks filthy after 10 minutes!
