Very pale green for kitchen walls?

I would like to bring some warmth to my currently very stark white new build kitchen. I’m thinking of a pale green sagey green to go nicely with the colours in the rest of the house and my oak floors.

I like the look of Little Greenes Green Stone Pale but does anyone have any recommendations? Preferably a yellow tone with little grey in it as it’s a north - west facing room. It is still bright during the day because I’m on a hill going down the way!

Dulux tranquil dawn, definately green but with a grey tinge to it.

Green can be tricky and isn't often warm when pale. Beware the hospital green look.
I personally think if you want warmth, pick a warmer colour, sorry if that seems a bit of an obvious statement! So yellow, orange, pink, some purple.

Following with interest as I’m currently getting a new white kitchen installed, and considering green for the walls. I quite like the look of Little Greene’s Tracery II.

I had a creamy, yellow-y green kitchen, very light and pale used on the ceiling and walls. It was a mixed paint. For some reason it looked like a food colour, like a banana smoothie with a tiny bit of avocado (the actual foods not the colours)!

I am having almost exactly the same issue! I have saturated my brain with every single pale green from every single brand but I just can’t find the right one - so I’m now thinking of painting the skirting boards, window ledge and door/doorframe in a pale green (possibly F&B Cromarty) and leaving the walls an off white.

I would go for a flat / matt warm earthy coral colour to tie up with the natural floor and contrasting white.

Maybe add wooden, woven accessories and lots of green plants to add another dimension / layer of interest and warmth.

We have F&B Eddy in the kitchen/dining room. Highly recommend!

We tried the others cited on this thread as well as a few more dozen samples (!) But Eddy was the most subtle/barely there green while still being green. We love it!

We went for aqua, Mediterranean type accessories. Aqua blinds. It doesn't feel cold.

Paint & Paper library have 5 different darknesses of their Willow Paint - Willow 1 might work

What colours are your units and counters?

I have black cupboards at the bottom, white on top and I am looking at a green like the walls in this Ikea kitchen

In our previous house, we had a green on the living room walls which I chose inspired by Farrow and Ball Green Smoke - but it wasn't that because we can't get F&B where we are - it was this: https://www.schoener-wohnen.de/einrichten/schoener-wohnen-kollektion/-erhabenes-agavengruen----nr--27_12615554-12635892.html

It looked darker on the walls (more like the Green Smoke pictures) than it does in that picture, but where spots got spilled on things, it looked very pale - so I agree that greens can be tricky to get right. I loved it though and it was the perfect colour. I don't want it quite so dark in the kitchen. But a similar sort of tone.

You might try farrow and ball teresa’s green. Lovely with white and it has an earth y warmth to it which is lovely on a chilly morning.

I have Crown Sage Green in my new kitchen, pale cream glossy cabinets, grey worktops and floors, black accessories. Looks fine to me! Will try to add photos.

Dulux tranquil dawn, definately green but with a grey tinge to it.

This is a great colour, works nicely in north facing rooms. Or f&b Mizzle.
