I'm trying to figure out what colour paint to choose for the walls in our kitchen if we have Stensund light green units. I was thinking of a light slightly peachy pink. The room is South facing but shady.

These are the units: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/stensund-door-light-green-60523906/

Definitely pink, but not exactly sure about peachy. Setting Plaster is a save choice.

Ah yes, that does look like it would go well! When I said peachy, I think I meant slightly warmer pink rather than cooler pink. Setting plaster looks warmish, I think?

I have Setting Plaster in my Snug/TV room. It's a darkish room facing the pavement/road, so doesn't naturally feel warm/relaxing/private, but Setting Plaster crested a really lovely feel:warm, cocooning, but still light and airy. It's not girly pink, even my husband likes it, he vetoed every other pink I tested. It has a bit of grey/beige/neutral undertones. I have it on walls and woodwork.

Hiya - you mind me asking what colour you went for? We now face the same choice. We quite liked the stensud but cant settle about the walls
much appreciated!
