Help choosing wall color to go with blue kitchen cabinets!
Comments (2)If you want to have pale blue walls, have the paint store mix up the same color formula you used for the cabinets, but in a larger quantity of paint. You will get a paler shade, and it will match tones. If they take the formula for a pint and put it into a quart, you get "50%".

Comments (17)If you're planning on changing your lighting, do that first as it will likely affect paint colours. If you do want to brighten your island, I don't think it would be a mistake to go with your perimeter cabinet colour as Sina suggested or even your wall colour. And if you look up your wall colour, you might find the manufacturer recommends complementary shades that might be perfect for your island....See Moreontariomom
