I had a similar problem in my back bedroom. I pained it what I thought was pinky beige and it ended up looking pepto bismol pink once it was covering the whole wall. So I tried to neutralize it. Green was recommended as a color to use in the room to look good with it instead of blue which I had been using, which only highlighted it more. BUT, although I had some plants in the room and a green headboard on the bed, the BEST thing I did to "neutralize" the pink was to embrace it and use SIMILAR colors, like yellow, brown, maroon, pink, red, terra cotta. So take whichever color you like the best, the green or the orange, and then fill your kitchen with shades of those colors you DO like. You can find great palette Web sites online to play around with these possibilities. Embrace the color you like and that will hide the tone of that color in your kitchen that you don't like. As for the other color you don't like, it will now have more competition. For some reason, my bedroom photos aren't showing on my photo site so I can't post pics to illustrate. But that's advice I got here a couple of years ago and it worked.

i was never into gray until i saw mystery's kitchen. i love them now and for you...that color would really sing with the bordeaux and gray in the stone. wood looks lovely next a rich gray as well. i have a ralph lauren wheel here....i love polaris gray...soft and towards an old silver in tone...but (ugly name) sweatshirt gray is also gorgeous. grey stone and neutral graY work as well/ i'd grab a few samples and see how they woek in the space. i think they would be very elegant myself

I like both but do favor the lighter for now. I thought about herringbone but decided on brick lay as you see from my pic. I chose that bc I also picked a tonal tile with 3 shades for texture & interest wo being too busy (see pic) & chose grout to match tile not counter. My tile is 2 1/2” x 5”, Ztile Melange, Green Tea color. Looks gray! My advice to pass along on picking BS is to ”wait until the countertops are installed”! I’m so glad I did. I .read that over & over from Houzz Pros too. I took the advice to heart bc the person at countertop company told me to just wait! I had narrowed my choice down to 2, which it looks like you have done. Once tops were in I did a 180 change on BS tile I’d decided on & went with my second choice. And I was looking at multiple pieces of the 2 tiles to get a better idea. A surprise to me for sure that I changed. All of those whose opinions I’d solicited also seemed amazed at difference in look sitting on top of new counter. And, I solicited opinions from every trades person in my kitchen as well as friends & neighbors! 99% of them changed their pick after counters in too. Reason is that until counter is in, you’re looking at a small sample and a huge vertical slab. Light hits the counter very differently on the horizontal & in your home light. The BS tile as well. So, make sure both of your picks are available on quick turnaround & just wait. BTW, at this point, my pick for you is lighter tile Bc I Like it better with darker cabinets & tile will be right next to cabinet color next to frig. When I look at BS my eye goes down not up so I see base cabs more. Love your counter & cab together.
