Light blues, greens, aquas, gray greens, gray blues, etc, all go very well with honey oak. Some grays go well too. No yellow tone colors.

There are many ways to go. I used a creamy slightly beige color - just enough to set off my white trim. My personal preference is for a light kitchen. Pictures of my oak kitchen are in my "my pics" idea book. I also have white appliances.

Houzzers appreciate previous inputs! Viewed most suggestions. Front runner, still Balboa Mist. Talked hubby into considering a white-ish color for walls, provided there's contrast so ceiling trim stands out. Navy wall in dinning stays. Anyone done white-ish walls with oak floors? Looking for a the best white-ish color that will not pull yellow or beige tones.

Since there is so little wall I would just paint it off white. If you are going to paint, this is a good time to replace those light fixtures with some unobtrusive led fixtures and freshen the ceiling. And do take down the window treament, if you need privacy there let's find a nice simple privacy shade without scallops.

Put the floor in and then decide. Colors always look different when in place.

Many suggestions above are good - white, cream, sage green - all look good with oak. Warm grays can work - these often read green gray but cool grays can look drab with oak.

A good backsplash with oak is a cream subway tile - which is what I have.

This is my wood kitchens idea book - you will see a lot of cream subway tile, but there are others, and perhaps you will get some inspiration.

The Kilim Beige may work for the kitchen too.

If you do not have under cabinet lighting, consider getting some. It will keep the space light with the black countertops. Also, your choice of ceiling light bulb warmth / coolness can really affect the color tone of your floors and cabinets. You might want to talk to some lighting people about a good choice of light bulbs.

Also - not sure if those cabinets are oak. They might be birch or another wood.
