Kitchen revamp in 3 weeks; so excited

We put in our kitchen 25 years ago when re renovated our at-the-time new house. When it came to the kitchen we had already spent our budget and so our lovely builder said he would make us a cheap MDF kitchen that would do until we could afford to replace it. Well, here we are 25 years later 😂.
so we have found a very nice kitchen maker who will use our existing carcasses as much as possible but do new doors, beautiful drawers, pull out wire baskets self closing drawers etc etc
So now he needs decisions on colours. We have a gorgeous polished concrete floor. I’m keeping the black granite on the peninsula unit and replacing the tiled worktop with a brushed stainless steel.
the walls are Farrow and Ball pointing ( a soft white) so it’s all very monochrome at the moment. This is my inspiration.
The yellow looks gorgeous here but on the website I hate it
The plan is to paint the units in the peninsula charcoal and the side units yellow.
anyone know any nice yellow?

Oh I love that colour! It's very sophisticated but also happy!

Ps. Gorgeous garden!

Thanks so much for the lovely compliments. As I say we’ve been living here 30 years and last did a big revamp 35 years ago so things had got quite “lived in!” 😃. We’ve done a lot in the house (and garden!) over the past couple of years and it’s lovely to fall in love with the space all over again.

My loft is painted India Yellow, with navy blue curtains and furnishings. I absolutely love it! It glows. I think it’s a great colour for a kitchen.
