Oak coloured cabinets - bright colour for walls

We have oaky coloured kitchen cabinets and magnolia (not my choice) walls. One wall next to the dishwasher is forever filthy so I would like to paint it a brighter colour in scrubbable paint so it doesn't show so much.

Would love to paint it a nice vibrant orange but is that going to bring out the orange of the wood (and look a bit icky). Would a deep blue be better?

I was thinking this colour but in Dulux bullet proof.

Will it look naff?

Not sure about the orange. I think a vibrant green works well with oak - something like Garden City from the same range? Or this. Depends what else is in the room though.

Yes love that lime colour

Or this maybe?

Really there is nothing else in the room apart from kitchen units, blackish worktops and white windows. There are lots of windows and sets of double doors so not much wall space. The wall I want to paint is probably the biggest expanse of wall.
