I think it is only another boring gray

I really like it, but more importantly you really gravitated to it. I think it's a great neutral. With whitish counters and classic backsplash, you'll have a ton of options as time goes by to tweak the look with the easily changeable items like accessories, wall paint, art, towels/rugs, etc.

Gray, plus marble looking quartz is pretty ubiquitous. That means the trend will be done soon. You could still choose gray, just work harder on other choices, so you have some originality and personality to the room. Gray alone is not the issue.

Flora BM color is is a medium light shade of green

Also, don't loose sight of the fact that it's only paint. It's a big decision, but not necessarily a permanent decision. In 10-15 years you may want to repaint the cabinets anyway. (This is an example of the type of things I need to remind myself of when I'm stuck in design-decision paralysis!)

It has a lovely green undertone but you won't know if you will get the look in that photo until you try it in your room. Not just the teensy paint chips, and beware some of the "samples" they mix that aren't the same as the actual color. dyliane is correct that it might muddy out to blah grey in your light, so check!

There was or is a thread posted by someone looking for soft green cabinet suggestions. You might want to search for it for more ideas. I believe there have been some recent Houzz Stories featuring greens, including softer grey greens, too.

I am not a gray lover (although there are some lovely gray kitchens I see and admire) and I totally understand your question. I think that is a lovely color that is to me greengray and has more longevity to it. I agree that the accompanying components should be chosen with more care. I think it will look good and not look dated quickly.

that color is not green. it is gray.

All the gray-greens, sage greens, and colors of those types turned turquoise in my room because of the coating on the windows. I ended up having to choose a cream color that turned the sage-y gray green I wanted.

Then I replaced the windows and am now looking to repaint. LOL!

My point is supporting one already mentioned. Get those big paint squares at BM and put them in several different places. Natural light, evening light, direct sunlight, whatever. They'll change colors in your room depending upon the time of the day.

Thanks everyone! I currently have blue gray samples all over the cabinets. It is amazing how different they look at different times of the day. I want to get some with greenish hues now, to compare. Then when I narrow it down, I will get small cans and paint poster boards and leave those up for a few days.

Any thoughts on subway tile color? White or light gray? Or something darker? I have not decided wall color yet, but it will be light, not dark.

Go with what you like. People have been saying gray is "on its way out" for many years and it clearly wasn't. No one knows what the future holds. Gray is a neutral and is no more "boring" than white or beige.

When you get lots of samples of paint colors, please do not hang them all next to each other stuck all over the place..all you are doing is setting your self up to confusion. Get the largest sample you can and hang it by itself and watch it throughout the day when sunny and cloudy. Then do the same with another color. This way the color is not influenced by the other colors and you are choosing it because you love it.

As far as outdated, I think things are outdated when they are all put together as part of a strong trend and don't match the style of the home - for example center hall colonials with the almond or white laminate cabinets with the wood trim as the door pull!

If your design choices go with the style of the home and you love it then you are all set!!

Good luck!

@Bri. Op mentioned FLORA.

SKMOM, your kitchen is gorgeous!! I love the wood.

Wow, thank for that hint!!

I think the green will be lovely, and if it really pulls at you, you'll love it for a long time. I DO feel like it would work even better with at least a little natural wood to warm it up. Is there a way to work in an area of butcher block or something similar?

Pretty color. I could live with it for a long time. That’s always my guide.

Here is a kitchen posted a few years ago that used a very similar color in the lowers. The walls are painted in Sherwin Williams Compatible Cream, the trim in Creamy... I wouldn't choose those paint colors myself though.

I'm assuming you have an open concept kitchen. If so, what furniture/curtains/rugs are in the LR part of this room? If you have not yet purchased them, what do you want/plan?

When a kitchen is the biggest thing in a LR, one must plan the entire space so it all works together.

Very nice! I think of it as a green (as does BM, judging from the name they gave it), but whether you call it grey or green, it's nice.

I would leave the cabinets paint the part that is painted on the island in the color you like and change the hardware. I happen to love gray/ greens but not sure how much I would love tha color next to other space wall color

I may be confused- highly likely- but I think the OP has not included pix of her space or what is around it as in adjoining rooms. I think all pix are either of suggestions or other posters' homes.

Lovely lovely island.

It is soothing, warm green. I really like it.
