Need a kitchen paint suggestion?

I have cherrywood cabinets, a copper/glass backsplash, white/beige tile floor and white/gray granite counter top. The backsplash is very reflective and beautiful. Need help on a paint asap as Im midway through this project. Any links you can provide with the a picture of the color would be great. Thank you!

    What is far more important in a kitchen than color is that the any paint used should be washable. It should also be AT LEAST a semi gloss because flat paints tend to chalk. A kitchen is where you cook so it is exposed to smoke ( occasionally) but far more often, airborne grease and steaming/moisture. These conditions cause buildup of dust sitting on every horizontal trim piece, etc which has to be cleaned off sometimes. If the paint you selected is not as I suggested, cleaning will affect the paint.

    So whatever color you choose is up to you. But use a washable, semi or high gloss. Wherever you buy it, and Behr is good quality, ask about paints for kitchens and see what they show you. have them explain why to hear it again.

    Was gonna suggest a light yellow, but saw that you had some white tiles. They would clash. Something in the pinkish-brown spectrum would pull everything together.

    Look through samples of "seafoam" from Behr at Home Depot. It is a very light pastel green and is a very nice color in the kitchen. It comes in several shades so you really need to look at the range of sample cards. They also have small sample cans, In what ever color you decide you like, that you can use to see how you like it on your walls.

    go for light colors. like beige, pink, cream etc. romance pink, light peach color can also go good.
