What colour did you paint your shaker kitchen?

[SollaSollew]

Have just finalised the design and ordered my new kitchen from HMKOC, thank you Mumsnet!

I'm now in a spiral of indecision about what colour to paint it. The old kitchen is covered in a random selection of paint and handle samples and as it's going to be 2k to paint it I really, really can't afford to get it wrong.

When I went to the Esher showroom I loved their Shaded White kitchen (similar to Devol mushroom) but dh isn't keen and thinks it looks a bit bland. We both like Railings (very dark grey with a slightly blue undertone) but I'm worried that in a north facing kitchen it looks black and might be a bit oppressive.

I've seen so many kitchens on Pinterest and Houzz but you never know whether people got tired of them or they were a pain to maintain?

So my question is what colour did you paint your shaker kitchen and are you still pleased with it/does it stand up to family life?

Thank you.

I like Breakfast Room green on your colour panels. Don't think I could bring myself to go for something named Dead Salmon!

To be fair "dead salmon" pretty accurately evokes the quality of my kitchen output.

I don't usually go for green, but that breakfast room green looks lovely. You're right to be wary of cold colours in a north facing room, they can look completely different. As in, checking the tin to see if you've got the right paint different. Having said that, oval room blue also looks gorgeous.
A lot of those samples you've painted look like they go really well together, so you could put a more intense colour on the wall and play safer with your units. Or different on floor units and wall units.
