I've found that with touch ups, it helps to thin the paint a little with water (assuming it is water based paint), dip the brush, wipe off excess paint and blot the paint brush on a paper towel a little. Dab the brush a few times on the area to be touched up rather than brushing it. This technique is similar to how stenciling is done. You want to work with an almost dry brush so you don't get globs of paint or brush marks. I learned this technique from the Ellen Kennon website. If you don't get complete coverage with the first coat, let it dry, then repeat. This works best with a flat or satin finish. Semi-gloss and gloss durfaces are harder to touch up evenly.

As it appears on the screen, I like its muted gray tone because it picks up on your gray counter. It looks like a blue gray here and the blue is very pretty with your cabinet color. Blue is complementary to orange. The cool blue of it works well with the gray too. I don't think you need to bring green in which won't relate as well to your counter color.

I've been working on just the right white for months, and have many, many painted samples! What I have found is that the color looks different in EVERY room, so what works for some here, may not work for you! My kitchen is really sunny and bright, I found BM Simply white stark. I really like BM white dove & SW Alabaster, and find them very close to the same color, with a same hint of a gray undertone. I am afraid though... that it may still read stark white in my kitchen. I have SW Pearly white on my walls now... from the chip, it is much darker than I would have picked, but I picked this because SW color matched it from a cabinet sample I liked. I have a whole wall painted, and sometimes it looks perfect, just a soft off white, other times it looks a bit dingy. I'm leaning a bit more to SW Creamy (it matched another cabinet). White and yellow.. two very hard colors to chose, but I think you need to get samples and see large size samples in your space. The colors change dramatically from one room to another!

I have the gray bodbyn cabs in my basement. We use SW Lazy Gray in the entire basement.
