What colour to repaint kitchen cabinets with existing floor and splashback tiles?

Thinking of repainting my glossy 70s wood kitchen cupboards.
Splashback tiles and floor tiles are a neutral cream and beige shade respectively.
Freestanding whitegoods white.
I'm keen to avoid a grey look, but think I'm going to need to look at greige / sage shades to coordinate / pull together the beige and cream tiles which currently look like they're part of a neutral, woody theme, but would likely look strikingly different if contrasted with a bolder shade.
It's not got lots of light as opens onto a lean-to conservatory, so want to avoid going too dark or bold.
DC and DP cook lots and are incredibly messy, so the wood has hidden a multitude of sins until now, but I'd love a change.
Replacing flooring or wall tiles isn't an option at the moment.
Any thoughts? Attaching pics of floor and wall tiles plus Rustoleum paint shades for inspo.

Do you have a picture of the current wooden doors? I think unpainted wood can be lovely, or a mix of some painted and some not, IF they're a good style.

Wench, they're those 80s orangey lacquered wood cupboard doors with a rutted groove in the fronts ‐really nothing special. I've enjoyed the retro rustic vibe but it's wearing a bit thin now and is very tired.
Thank you, though.

How about an earthy yellow?

Could you regrout the floor? Dark grey grout dates those tiles and pulls your attention to the floor. If you just gently scooped out a bit of the grout and regrouted in a light beige it would look much lighter and would fit in nicely with a modern white-sage colour scheme. I'd go for simple white walls and sage units.
