Wow, some neat examples...do you think it would look ok in a kitchen on the smaller side? My kitchen is U-shaped and nowhere near as large and open as the photos. Funny, I grew up in an old house and remember some pretty wild color combos my mother painted the kitchen cabs...pink and green in the 50's and apple green and dark chocolate in the 60's. After that, the "antiquing" craze came in and they were all one color.

Lydia, I first need to ask where you are in TX since I saw you had gone to Round Top~don't you love it! I'm 20 minutes from Austin, and about 55 from RT. I go to the twice yearly event, and am already looking forward to the fall show. Have you ever been to Rachell Ashwell's Bed and Breakfast there? Anyway, i've never actually seen that done IRL, only 'on the net'. I have two-tone cabs though, with the ivory glazed being on the interior cabs, and the dark stained on the perimeter, outside wall. It's a nice break, since I thought all ivory glazed would have been too much and all dark would have been too dark~I have dark hand scraped floors. If your kitchen can be separated(perimeter/interior cabs)or even with an island or peninsula, that makes it easier since you can paint/stain the different areas and it will look cohesive. I also need to add I painted my cabinets in my home in Ca, and really wasn't happy with the outcome, but it could have been the paint. There's one specifically for cabinets called Cabinet Coat, and if you do decide to paint might think about it~go to the paint forum to find out more. For the stained ones I would recommend a Gel Stain~great coverage and fairly easy, well easier than the painting.

I would get a chip of BM Spectra Blue 2049-50 BM Bird's Egg 2051-60 BM China Blue 2052-60 BM Polar Sky 1674 BM PF-35 Tidewater BM 0667 Maritime Blue BM 0675 Thunderbird The color is beautiful! I hope you find a good match. All my picks are at the mercy of my computer monitor. If you really like it, you might print a picture of it and let the paint store match it for you. Good luck!

Thanks for all the comments. I chose to go quartz instead of solid surface. I'm getting Uptown Gray https://www.hanstonequartz.com/products/uptown-gray  Here is the current turquoise color of the kitchen wall, Gem Turquoise. Taking the advice of most, I've determined a new color scheme for the kitchen going with a lighter turquoise/aqua. I plan to paint the lower cabinets the light gray (Pixel White) color and then leave the upper cabinets white. The darker gray to the left is the quartz. The new question now is should I stick with the brushed nickel hardware and faucet, or go matte black to give some more contrast??
