Tuscan Style Kitchen Wall Color?

I am renting a house in Germany and really want to do the tuscan style kitchen. The cabinets are dark brown wood and there is a back splash that is white with dark orangey brown triangles on it. the kitchen is rather small and I really want to choose the right color for the wall. Any suggestions for the wall color?

Update:

If anyone has pictures of their kitchen that would great. Chris M if you don't want to help then don't respond.

    Golden Spicy Mustard

    Old World Yellow

    Suntan

    Terracotta (shades of terracotta span hues of red(rosy) to orange (peachy), select a color on the orange side)

    Coral

    If you have the time a Venetian plaster finish would be ideal for the Tuscan kitchen.

    I'm looking in a Tuscan decorating book right now, the colors that I see used the most are gold, green, cranberry, orange and a natural sand color. The lighting is the important feature that brings the warm glow to the colors. The textures of the walls appear to be imperfect plaster and the slight imperfections add to the colors shading.

    I yellow would really compliment the black and orange together.... yes! Wow, what a unique room. That must be beautiful...I dont know about German hardware stores etc. But you can always find help with this virtual room designer:

    We did mine in a deep brownish gold color (sort of like Dijon mustard). It's awesome! Everyone thinks it looks great. I was afraid with the cherry cabinets (dark) and the small space with only a small window that it would be too bold, but with the right accessories, it looks great!

    I would do a color wash. Get some paint samples from the store and see what goes best with your backsplash. Take a picture of your kitchen and upload it!

    I think you can go with yellow and green tones. It will look nice with the dark cabinets and your backsplash. Good luck on your kitchen design!
