What's your budget for sprucing to sell? Rather than painting the cabinets, you could get new doors and veneer the frames - there are internet sources for the supplies that cost a lot less than the companies that sell that service, and it's not a difficult DIY project. Replacement framed shower doors can be gotten stock from HD pretty inexpensively. The tile being neutral is probably good for resale - I'd take that as the color pallette and make it look planned. What color is the counter top - looks like an ivory - that would work with beige neutrals, too. If you can change the cab doors and frame to a stained wood that blends and a beige/ivory neutral scheme, then you could use a couple of 'staging props' of green and have it looks like the planned 'spa naturals' trend. That would go well with the Green Tea MB, I think. I'd definitely change out the big mirrors - I still see them on Houzz from time to time, but to me they really look like the 80's without a frame. Cutting them down to allow you to frame them with picture moulding (stained to match cab's) on the sides and top is an inexpensive option, too, that could be made to look 'custom planned'. It's no harder to cut mirror than any other type of non-tempered glass, just remember to stop by a hobby shop first and pick up some fixative to spray on the mirrored back before cutting (this keeps the mirror finish from being damaged.) Decorative moulding to make the frames is also pretty inexpensive at HD and Lowes, and mitering for the corners is also pretty easy. Just a few ideas off the top - not exciting, I know...

Checked on the online paint program on the Benjamin Moore website -- here's some ideas: "Sandy Hook Gray" (HC-108) "Silver Satin" (CC-#856) "Apparition" (CC-#860) "Victorian Garden" (CC-#1531) "Gargoyle" (CC-#1546) "Silver Song" (CC-#1557) Maybe one of these would work? Hope this helps! Jan P.S> here's a link to the site -- just scroll down the page and click on "Paint Now" under the Personal Color Viewer. Then choose a room -- and try some colors from the pulldown chart. Here is a link that might be useful: Benjamin Moore paint site

Thx everyone!! :) I am so under gun...I thought I would have another week to decide but the contractors want to start painting tomorrow BEFORE the cabinets go in. I decided to go with the darker shade in the pics....the Stratton Blue. I agree that the colors are not showing up well on the monitor. After the job is done, if I truly don't like it, I will take my time and try to consider a brownish gold tone like in the suggestions above. Part of me really wanted a spa-like calming blue which is why I am trying to work off the Palladian Blue card. olychick - I love that picture of the room with the palladian blue ceiling. I never even considered doing something like that and I really would love to know what the color is on those walls! That is really a gorgeous beautiful room! Soooooo if I hate the Stratton after it is all up and done, I will re-paint....

Sorry, I can’t suggest a good white S.W. paint color, but I would not call a white house with charcoal accents “blinding”. It is one of my favorite combos (my ’76 house is white clapboard with black windows and doors). BTW, I used B.M. Super White. You want white; get white. Hey, it is only paint ($$$$) but it is not a life threatening choice. Good luck and stick to your guns.
