What colour are the walls in your kitchen?

I need some inspiration. I've recently painted my kitchen walls green and was just about to do the touching up before DP put shelves up and we both agree that we really don't like it.
So what colour?

Not in our kitchen but crown lunch date is a nice soothing green. Washable too.

I have Crown Toasted Almond in mine - teamed with B&Q Walnut shaker style kitchen.

We took the plunge in our kitchen and followed the advice of a decorator and used a Little Greene version of a Farrow & Ball colour "India Yellow".

It's very similar to the Sienna Earth Selks has I think.

The white units really "pop" on it and it looks great with our terracotta floor. I hope we don't get sick of it too soon (kitchen not even finished yet!).

Which way does your kitchen face? Ours is North/North-West facing so the decorator said anything grey or blue was out (too cold).

In our old kitchen we had Fired Earth Oxford Ochre, which looks more creamy on the paintcard but came out a lovely custardy yellow in the north-facing kitchen (was like painting with thick banana custard!) Current rented flat has a yellow kitchen too - one of the reasons i chose it. I have a lot of white, pale blue and red crockery, and I like a utilitarian and slightly country/naive style. The old kitchen was a mix of unfitted handbuilt pine and stainless steel units with a big cooker. Rented kitchen has fitted beech units which are a bit shabby and not my taste, but in principle it works.

Oh and also terracotta floor in the old kitchen. Rented kitchen has a beech laminate which is a bit matchy matchy with the units IMO.

Magnolia with a feature wall. ohh the shame

...but magnolia is super cheap and easy to touch up etc. I used diamond matt so nice tough paint. I tried a million samples but kept coming back to boring old magnolia.....

The feature wall is one long straight wall so it will be easy to redo when we get fed up with the outlandish wallpaper.
