Navy Kitchen - Wall Paint Colour Recommendations

[VonWeasel]

Does anyone have any paint colour recommendations for a kitchen with navy units/white worktops. I got samples today for three Farrow & Ball paints that I thought looked nice. Having tried them out I have disappointment with a hint of blue, blandness with a tinge of purple and invisible with a smudge of green. Not quite what I was hoping for so guess I need a slightly bolder colour that makes the effort of painting worthwhile! Any success stories? (N.b I haven't named the samples I tried as didn't want to offend anyone but all were at the more subtle end of the spectrum although I thought they were bolder than the off white options!).

We have a navy kitchen with papaya playa paint and Moroccan tiles.

I'd go for something from the orange, coral, or pink family. Something warm tones.

Look for orange tones neutrals. Orange is the opposite of blue so should really make it pop.

Our tiles are very similar to this.

Thank you. And @ShowOfHands the colour and tiles are fabulous! The tiles I have are also of the Portuguese/Moroccan style and I think they will work well against the navy blue. Going to check the three paint samples again this morning to see if they look any better (by some miracle!) but definitely think the kitchen needs something stronger on the walls!

If you do like to stick with white, did you try Wevet? In our house at least I can't detect any undertones. It needs 3 coats though, so I wonder whether this is your 'invisible' chpuce. Edward Bulmer's Fair White also keeps true to colour in different lights in our home and I love the coverage and finish. Otherwise, plaster pink looks nice with Navy and is very easy to live with.

I know grey is done to death but I got over my distaste and we went grey on the walls. We've got beech worktops, dark blue pantry unit and a red island unit (looks better than it sounds). We went with Valspar Rocky Mountain Mist which is grey with a hint of purple about it. Looks great. Tiles are William Morris style in blue and red and curtains are a bright yellow scandi print!
