I so agree with you about that third picture -- it's perfect! I tested BM Weston Flax but it was garish in my house on an NC island. I discovered that only yellows that look beige in the paint can work in my light. That is, if they look yellow in the can, they are much too bright on my walls. But if they look beige in the can, they have a chance of being a nice yellow on my walls. I ended up with BM paint matched to Valspar's Homestead Resort Sunwash, which on my walls looks like the color in that picture and I'm very happy with it. BM's Mushroom Cap looks very similar in pictures but I haven't seen it in person.

In the Blue spectrum I would look into a lighter blue like Benjamin Moore Phillipsburge Blue. Its similar to the blue color you tried- just a bit lighter. Benjamin Moore Lehigh Green is a happy medium between the two greens you have already tried. Outside of the colors you did already I happened to like the Benjamin Moore Williamsbrg Wythe Blue. Its a pretty aqua/gray color.

along with paint, I'd consider updated the porch posts, and redoing the flower beds. (those shrubs are just scraggly) I gave you a darker blue color for the siding like this one. looks nice w/the brick. Also brought in straight porch columns. and, if you brought in cedar posts, and tried these color combos: (the shrubs still need to go. I'd do these posts and remove the white railing. or you could do a black metal railing. (any chance of doing a metal roof on the porch portion?) and if you've ever considered painting the brick (Romabio is the best product) ignore the shutters on these examples Before and after:

it's perfectly fine to paint that window trim above the window a blue( or whatever). there is no rule that says all trim in the house must be exactly the same! found this one w/blue trim to match the cabs. glad you got that light! I love it. traditionally, those old kitchens were tiled around the window 1930's spanish ranch home: This is a Tudor kitchen, but you'll notice all the color is brought in through accents. the wall color, the ceramic dishes, art, matches the linoleum. and while the trim itself was usually white, the kitchen in those old spanish bungalows were quite colorful. Too bad you didn't use this tile! I love this one w/the white cabs and your marmoleum flooring. But, since you do have so much white, think about doing a 2-3" tongue and groove on the ceiling and painting it a shade of blue (or yellow) I like this light too Any chance of you continuing the tile up around the window? If not, either paint that portion a nice blue, or do the trim in the blue (cobalt) and save up for a cobalt stove! BTW, I have a cool hanging piece that came from mexico and would fit your kitchen colors! are you near So Cal?
