What colour kitchen unit doors with blue/green wall tiles?

I'm planning to sand and paint my kitchen unit doors (currently 1980s-tastic dark wood), we've got these tiles, which are actually more of a bluey green than the picture shows. Trying to decide what colour would be best - what would you go for?

Probably going to paint the remainder of the walls a heavy cream (though they could be a different colour, haven't bought the paint yet). Countertops / table etc are wood (beech, so quite light in colour). Old fashioned brick-red floor tiles.

I’d probably go with a boring cream/off white colour tbh. The tiles are nice.

My plan is to have similar coloured tiles, a sort of sea green glass when I can find them, and will be having white or off white units with wood worktops. It is a north west facing room which will eventually have a conservatory off it so need ut as light as poss.

Yes, I'm very pleased with the tiles, they look excellent on the wall. I had originally thought cream doors, but I'm wondering if it'll be all too much pale with cream walls as well. There's quite a bit of wall as it's a large L shaped kitchen-diner, pretty light with two big veluxes as well as windows on the outer sides of the L

Cream if you want neutral, pale pink if you want more adventurous

Pale pink could definitely work - I suggested it to DH for the walls (but got vetoed) - maybe cupboard doors would be a compromise option

I’d pick out the colour from the tiles for one
of the walls in the diner part of the kitchen of you feel that there is too much cream.

Cupboard doors surely more of a commitment than the walls, you can easily paint over walls but doors are much more hassle. But he might not realise this so go for it!
