I have fantasy brown countertops, midnight espresso cabinets, but my paint is a blue gray. The fantasy brown I have has a lot of gray in it so it looks great together. It depends a lot on the slabs. Some are very very brown with not much gray and white, some have very little browns but a lot of gray and white. Take a look at the very long post here labeled calling all fantasy brown owners. Lots of pictures of our kitchens to look at. Also you can search on houzz for fantasy brown with gray cabinets.

I know the popular trend is to paint everything in the house one color, a neutral or white (did beige, then gray/greige, now white or off white). After everything is neutral we start seeing posts - how do I add color. Is your wardrobe just neutrals and whites? Is your life really that bland? I had a white on white home 30 years ago, but had a ton of artwork and colorful furniture that was classic Scandinavian at the time. It was beautiful, but it wasn't really me. I have never again had just neutral walls. I don't want to live in a home that looks like a builder spec home. Other people who see my home often ask me to help them pick colors for their home. So how do I pick colors? I first look at the things that must stay (have never had the luxury of not having to keep something (flooring, cabinets, counter tops, treasured or newer furniture). I then look at the things people own - we buy things because we love the colors - Wall art, sculptures, their wardrobes, jewelry. There is almost always a theme to the things people buy and most of the time their things and the colors that bring them joy are colors that look good on them. Our brains imprint colors associated with wonderful memories and when we see these colors we actually produce dopamine and get a rush of joy. Who doesn't like when they feel like a 10? Think about the colors that make your heart sing and how they work with the things you own. Think about which colors you want in your home and how the colors make you feel - some will energize you, some make you feel relaxed and calm. Which colors do you want in each room, how will the color you use in the kitchen flow into the dining room and from the dining room into the living room? (I usually pick 3 colors - for really large homes, bigger families, more rooms I may go to 5 colors). Once you know what colors you love and want in your home it is time to pick your neutral - that background color that works with your colors. With my colors a taupe works better than anything else. For each of my sisters we picked neutrals that worked with their color palette. After picking the neutral I pick a white that works with the neutral for the trim, ceilings, cabinets. . . My guess is that the whites in your closet are either white or ivory and not ecru. Why, because White Dove looks dirty to you and so will an ecru shirt. At the end of the day you end up with a coordinated home that is unique and timeless instead of something someone else decided should be popular. A designer showcased a house on Houzz and I saved the pics because she did exactly what I am talking about . Here are the pics Here are the colors I picked for my house Things I love Flooring that was a must stay Paint and other colors Everything together

Then go darker - Dovetail is on the same color range. Or go white? But really just shooting fish in a barrel here - best to show us floor finish and exact countertop to best pick.

Amazing Gray and Mindful Gray are somewhat similar near neutral colours from the Yellow Hue Family. Examining their attributes allows you to compare and contrast them without guessing. They differ the most in Chroma. ( colourfulness ) Mindful Gray is a more neutral colour than Amazing Gray. (The lower to Chroma the nearer to neutral ). Amazing Gray is likely to read slightly warmer as it sits just a little closer to the Yellow-Red Hue Family. Mindful Gray is just a tiny touch darker than Amazing Gray. This combined with the lower Chroma is why it offers slightly more contrast to the colourful flooring. All low Chroma colours are more affected by changes in light. In imbalanced lighting both are susceptible to shifting purple-ish. - this is why it’s so useful to test in situ. But you don’t mention this as a problem with either in your space - which is good. So both work with your flooring - just decide which attributes you prefer next to the flooring and with your available light,
