Wall colour to complement Cranberry rangemaster

[Issy422]

Looking to put a pop of colour on my kitchen walls. The difficulty is the need to tone in with a Cranberry rangemaster and hood. Having Earthborn white clay on my external lime-plastered walls but was hoping to put a pop of darker colour on the internal walls around the units.

Units are Alabaster (creamy white), worktop and splashbacks/upstands are ocean white quartz and floor is grey stone-effect tile.

I suspect someone will tell me to tile not paint, but I can't afford this at the moment (priority is minimum needed to move back in to my renovation project and stop paying rent) so going to try paint first and tile later if needed. Also, the wall with the cooker on has no wall units, so still need to paint that regardless.

Not sure I can help with the colour - is there a pic of the cooker? But we painted our kitchen walls in similar circumstances to you. We used Little Greene intelligent matt paint and it’s been totally wipeable. 2.5 years later still looks good as new.

the F&B website is good for colour matching though, if you find a colour close to the cooker it will suggest others. Maybe something blue/teal would work, perhaps Dix blue or oval room blue

I might go dark for impact. WhT about something like Farrows Brinjal?

Here’s the cooker colour. I think I’d stick to the pink tones. Something muted but I’m not sure what. Or a deep grey blue.

Thanks PeppermintyPatty, here’s some pics.

I have a cranberry rangemaster - we’ve gone for a rusty corral colour - looks lovely and very warming.

womanontheedge - I love Brinjal, I was originally tempted to get the base units in that before I chose the Cranberry cooker, but couldn't justify the extra 10% for a bespoke colour.

sheworeyellow - you beat me too it 😀

This is layout, except the boiler cupboard (next to the toaster) is now going to be full height and the room off is really a stone fireplace. The wall colour behind the cooker was an attempt at showing the colour of the cooker. Ignore the obvious glitches in the planning tool - I'm not having upstands in the middle of the worktop or metal runners poking out of drawers. 😁

I can't visualise rusty coral nolongerateacher (I was briefly a teacher once) is that a pinkish burnt orange?

Sorry I’ve just looked at the pot it’s dulux copper blush we used.

That is nice nolongerateacher, might get a tester.

I would go with pale pink - the Rangemaster is a pop of colour in itself.

Complimentary colour would be a green- have you checked out farrow and balls new light green shade eddy? Then do cranberry type accents on accessories?

I would let the rangemaster shine and be your pop of colour. Now this might sound silly, but it would really pop out in front of a black wall, and the black would give you depth of colour and tie in with your grey floors and white worktops/units. You could eventually get a large black splashback or tile black.

Thanks everyone. Food for thought.
