I did some doodles for you. I leaned towards warm colors for two reasons: they would blend well with what you describe in adjoining rooms and they work a bit better with your warm toned cabinets. I tried some "cool" colors, and they just didn't mesh well. (I did a 'cool' gray and a terracotta so that you could see that the undertones were too cool, as in the gray, or the color fought the cabinets, as in the terracotta.) Not trying to steer you in any particular direction, but I've created an album of various colors/depths that seemed to fit the bill (and some that didn't ;) Some posted here, there are 2 pages of colors at the album I linked to below ;) Oh, almost forgot, left your crown molding white and painted the ceiling same color as walls so your crown molding wouldn't disappear. What some people do, rather than put the "full" wall color on the ceiling, is have the wall color mixed at 50 or 25% and use that reduction for the ceiling. That way there's a lighter version of the same color on the ceiling, blends well. An option if full wall color on the ceiling doesn't suit your taste ;) A golden tan A bit lighter version A very deep golden tan/acorn (historical type color) A lighter green with yellow undertones An apple green A richer apple green A mid level moss green An earthier moss A warm mocha If there are any other shades you'd like to see, give me a holler ;) I went through so many colors, these are the ones that came out the better. I don't tend to give my input, but do like the greens! Here is a link that might be useful: lovetoshop's kitchen

I think your instinct to go with green is correct, and there's no reason the right shade of green shouldn't go with navy. I just think you need to veer away from olive and go with a leafy or spring green. I have two recommendations for you. 1. Sherwin Williams Ryegrass. I first saw this on an Apartment Therapy post under "The perfect green." It inspired me to go out and try a sample of it myself and I loved it so much I'm about to paint a room in my house that color. It looks like it would go with the color scheme you already have in your laundry room. 2. Glidden's Fennel. You have to ask for them to make it for you, because it's not in a sample bottle or in their paint decks out on the floor, but they do still have the formula. This is in the same color family as Ryegrass, but a lighter green, without being minty or turning yellow. These are both great colors, if you choose to stay with green. I've linked to a picture of Ryegrass below, and here's a couple of links for Fennel... http://farm1.static.flickr.com/61/198029036_b3d03d14f7_o.jpg http://perpetualrenovator.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/dscf2554.jpg Here is a link that might be useful:

Oh, my comments were not meant to be negative towards misschris15. I like being able to offer tips, advice, etc. I was thinking about a time earlier in my life, when I was more free spirited, and I all I cared about was what I like. Now, it is so much different, there are other factors that come into play when I make choices for my home. We are the end of remodeling our 3 bathrooms (at one time), and these were my thoughts pertaining to my choices for these 3 bathrooms. I was just reflecting!! I'm sorry it wasn't my intention to be insulting, etc. misschris15.

The lighter one is better than the other one. But they both have green undertones. Look for something a little more blue
