What are your floors? What are the adjoining spaces like (photos)? What is the exact cream paint specifically?

the cabinets have a red undertone.. in other words its the cocoa brown rather than rust brown family you are in.....green undertone in off white or very light green would be complementary but if you have vetoed that I might try a very pale blue wall color. the counter reads decidedly gray in one photo in the other one there are some more off whites so the counter might determine this actually. Its hard to tell exactly without seeing everything in person. things like hardware/backsplash/metal details/ textiles[ mats] might lean things where they are determined by you . wall color can be played safe w a neutral off white when in doubt because warm beige will be more difficult than what you think...if you are leaning neutral I'd go with more simple off white.

Please clarify this statement... "I like more war, colors like the beige or light tan to coordinate with each other." Also it is hard to recommend colors without some idea of the space and how the rooms relate to each other. Do you have a floor plan, sketch or pictures that you can post to help us give you ideas? Whole house open concept or 3 separate rooms with doors or clearly defined separations for different colors of paint. Also what color & type of flooring, furniture, cabinets, rugs, art etc... Without any of the above I can say I like the following colors & you might start your paint journey with:

Consider reversing the paint colors….gray for the wainscoting and a creamy white for the walls. (B.M Acadia White might work with the tiles, as on my monitor I don’t see a pure white).

Need Help Choosing Wall Color to Match Tile
Q

A simple method is to measure the colour of the tile with a tiny device which connects to an app on your phone. It gives a lot of valuable detail, such as how Light it appears, how much Chroma it contains, (how near neutral or colourful) but perhaps most helpfully in to which Hue Family it belongs and where within that Hue Family it sits. Not always the most obvious with neutrals. Once you know that, it makes finding harmonising paint colours so much easier. We can find the nearest available to a bang-on match to the floor tile, or similar only lighter/darker/warmer/cooler/more colourful/less colourful etc. Don’t need to guess anything.
