The current color falls a bit flat with your cabinets. A little too green.

I love your cabinets with dark paint colors that really let them pop or with a light off white with some mild yellow/yellow-orange undertones.

I would try these whites:

For dark colors with light wood cabinets I love burgundies and dark purple taupe, but they clash with your counters.

I am not a big fan of blue, but it generally works well with light wood cabinets, but again, may not work well with your countertop.

What I think looks best with both your cabinets and countertop are the gray greens.

Wow thank you so much for all the detailed information! I think I am leaning more towards the white as they are also more neutral.

Are you thinking about repainting trim as well? If you choose a white for the walls you need it to work with your trim color. If your trim is white you may want to paint the trim the same white as the walls with a higher gloss on the walls. I usually use eggshell on walls and satin on trim.

I am not planning to paint the trim. Would like to leave as is. I am also leaving it the same in my living room which I am still deciding on a colour for!

The green on the staircase is so pretty!!
For the living room I’d consider a blue. Or that same green.
Kitchen id keep simple. Can you add a backsplash?

The stairs are more so this colour. Depends on lighting ofcourse! So is the upstairs.

Picking paint colors is kind of like pulling together an outfit. Everything has to work with the rest of the outfit. Can't have gray slacks and brown shoes.

Whites and neutrals are often considered "Safe", but they all have undertones and can fight with each other / clash.

I usually start with all the things I cannot change (either love or can't afford to change). Flooring, cabinetry, appliances, furniture.

Then I pick out the colors that make my heart sing - those colors that just make you feel good. Your favorite colors. You will want to incorporate those colors into your overall color palette. It can be small amounts or larger bolder statements. You may paint walls those colors or just have them in your décor, upholstery, art, linens, but you want to bring those colors into your home. Every room should bring you joy.

Once I know what must stay and what I love I can put together a plan on how these things will work together and flow from room to room. The whites and neutrals have to work well with both. (Sadly, most of us can't afford to change everything and start from scratch.)

I see both your mixer and something else on the countertop are red. Guessing that red is one of those colors that make your heart sing.

Reds work well with many colors and neutrals, but you do have to decide which direction you want to go. What makes your heart sing, Personally I love deep eggplant walls with red accents, but can't even find a picture of a room with these colors.

Figure out your vision of your whole home and then start painting or you end up with a hodgepodge of colors that don't give you a sense of harmony as you go from room to room.

Here are two whole home color palettes that I think are great examples of making the colors flow from room to room

I love red! Although honestly I prefer to do more neutral paints and make my colours pop through wall decor and pillows etc. My floors are red oak and my couches are a dark grey.

Consider Benjamin Moore Whispering Spring for a light and airy look in both your kitchen and living room.

Using pops of color is a perfectly acceptable answer. I generally do neutrals throughout the main living area, but add more color to bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry, Red is a strong color, so it is often better to add some touches rather than paint a whole room.

I would try a few whites/off whites, try to get a white with a creamy undertone.

Your wood trim and floors are perfect for a white/off white background.

You also want to test some different lighting. I like daylight bulbs (5000 k), but I use a lot of purples in my décor and any yellow in the lighting turns purples to mud. It is a very white light with just the tiniest bit of yellow. It is not blue - you will hear that it is blue, but it isn't. The worlds top color experts set the standard for daylight

The lower the K value the more yellow the light

2700 k only works in a few homes (Think historic Colonial or Tudor home with lots of dark woods and rich fall colors).

Some people prefer a bit more warmth, some prefer less warmth. People in lower latitudes seem to have a preference for higher K values than those in colder climates. Many designers are designating 4000k as the end all be all perfect lighting, but you have to like the feeling that the lighting color creates. Test a couple of light bulb colors in a pair of bedroom lamps and see what feels good to you.

Decide on lighting before picking your paint color as the light will change the appearance of the paint color.

I would choose a white, off white or light color - something noticeably lighter than your cabinets.

I would choose warmer, creamier tones. Something between the orange yellow of the cabinets and the greener tones in the counter.

Here are a bunch that are where I would start.

I love Creamy, Cotton White and Icing, but you should text a couple of others and see what they look like in your home. Icing is hands down my favorite white, but it has to work for you, in your home, with your lighting and your colors, not mine.

You can get the Devine Icing at Benjamin Moore (company is no longer in existence, but the BM version is dead on.)

Benjamin Moore Indian White id a very pale orange beige color. Maria Killam talks about if in this post. If you decide to go very pale on the walls this would be a fabulous color with yourgorgeous oak cabinets.
