Kitchen for north/n eat facing - another plea for help

[Angelasw]

We're ripping out our kitchen and going for a shaker style, deposit paid and indecisive being that I am, I can't see the wood for the trees.

See pic. DH would like to close his eyes and new kitchen to be there ready to use. However, I need advice on colour. My top three samples are heritage grey (really beige), light blue (touch of green tone but clean) and coastal blue. DH loves the coastal blue but says pick what I like most...
We'd like neutral...

Any thoughts? Please...?

See pic of layout. I'm concerned wall cupboards in coastal blue would be too much...

I would pick the heritage grey (though as you say it is really beige!).

Does the kitchen get much natural light - and how much?

I might be tempted to go for a much lighter colour - like white.

I have a north east facing kitchen and have just had my kitchen done with units a colour closest to heritage grey.

We have underlighting which makes a nice difference but during the day I don't feel like the kitchen is too gloomy - in summer it'll be even lighter than now too. We also painted the kitchen plain white to help reflect light - to stop it being too clinical we're putting a large clock and piece of art on two bare walls.

What colour are the floor and walls going to be? Work surfaces?

Looking again, I do love the dark grey (coastal?), but you would need lots of light.

I'm not sure about the walls yet. We have Amtico oak effect everywhere else downstairs and may use the same or a slightly lighter tone. Tiles would look fab but emphasise the coolness.
We have a window and door with a window each side. However, there is a short wall in between so not lots of light. It did look well today with the sun which was uplifting.

White would definitely be too colď for this room

Work surfaces probably as light as possible. The unit colour will define other choices. Using .corian with upstand glass splashback. Definitely not using black or dark worktop

Our kitchen extension is north/NE facing and we have a white gloss Ikea kitchen. It doesn’t look too harsh imo, though am not sure I’d choose it myself if doing the kitchen again. Friends of ours have a similar aspect kitchen and they chose a light blue colour which looks great, although not as many wall cupboards, so not as in your face perhaps (literally!).

My kitchen is North facing. We have mid grey units and a white quartz worktop.

We painted the walls white and the light reflects really well.

It's not too stark as we have a clock and different bits on the walls.

Love the grey and green tones of the light blue I'd go for that

Light blue. Soft not too coloured but more than just dull beige.

Our kitchen is north facing but we have massive sliding doors. Our units are all dark blue with pale quartz worktops.

Personally I prefer the blue out of your choices. One reason being grey/beige is going to date sooner IMO.

We have a north facing kitchen & tried painting the walls very similar to the blue you have.
It made it look washed out imo. A darker blue seemed to work better.
