I have oak trim and my cabinets are an oak color although they are actually hickory wood. I used BM Olive Branch. I tried the Cleary Sage and other grayer sages and didn't like them. I love the Olive Branch as it is a more yellow green and to me it looks great with the oak. I think it actually makes my woodwork look richer. Good luck.

Here's a post with some green kitchens.

This is a little dark, but it's BM Eden Green (I think?) with oak cabs:

A nice sage is SW Svelte Sage 6164. I think it is a lovely color and worth checking out!

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.
**Annakathryn, your green is lovely but not quite the shade I am looking for. I looked at the SW svelte sage and it is too gray for my kitchen.
**Polkadots I think the clary sage could also be too gray for me. I will look at the BM olive branch.

Hello,

My kitchen is SW Bamboo Shoot. It is a nice yellow/green. I have it with a light/med maple cabinet.
Here it is in my unfinished Kitchen:

Here is the same color in our bedroom:

I helped a client stage his kitchen to sell. I had him paint the kitchen a Walmart color called either Streambed or Riverbed (pretty sure it's Streambed.)

I found it to be a really good color for that ubiquitous honey oak cabinetry. My girlfriend asked me for a suggestion for her oak kitchen, and I told her the same color. It came out looking great, and she said it actually made her cabinets look "on purpose".

Here is the only shot I saved from my client's house:

I have used BM fernwood green and I love it. It is a great neutral green and I have been able to use a lot of other greens in my accessories without them clashing with it.

My friend used BM Aura urban nature. It's a lovely green

Just returned from HD and took the plunge in buying paint! They mixed SW clary sage for me in Behr paint (prefer Behr). Behr has a rebate going on now for $5 off/gal. Will let you all know how I like it once we get the kitchen painted.

I am too late but I painted my kitchen BM Nantucket Grey (really a sage green). I love it! My cupboards are light maple but have oakish color too them.

Update: Okay, I did a test run of the SW clary sage on my walls, just one coat and it is almost dry. I don't think I like it at all. It has quite a gray/blue undertone. DH says, "It's fine". I think he is just tired of the whole process of me choosing a color. Anyway, he also said it will look different put on with a roller and two coats, I used a brush and only one coat. I know this is true, but...do I want to risk hoping I will like the color better then or start again w/ a new color? Will HD (had paint mised in Behr)return custom-mixed paint? Can says non-returnable but I recall someone posting on this forum they will return it if you don't use more than a quarter of the paint in the can. Maybe I could try selling it on CL.I am about to scrap the entire green family and go with a neutral, but my entire downstairs is Dapper Tan now except the half bath. At this point, a cream color looks pretty inviting. Any advice or thoughts? Thanks!!

I feel your pain... I didn't start painting yet but still am agonizing over the color.

I had HD custom mix some paint in a blue color for a bedroom and went shopping to find a bedskirt for the comforter and ended up with a completely different comforter I liked better and returned the paint to HD and had them mix up a sage green. I would try return it.

I have SW Whole Wheat in my kitchen (one shade darker than Believable Buff and one lighter than Camelback. I have considered green also, maybe BM Misted Fern? Here is a pic of my kitchen and a picture of a room I LOVE with the orangey wood. BTW, I think I'm the reason HD doesn't return paint anymore!

Just a quick update: FYI: HD will not return any custom-mixed paint. I am trying to decide on just using this paint or choosing a "neutral" color. Why is something that should be enjoyable so overwhelming?! Thanks for all of your pictures and advice!
