I have a LOT of orange in my house, and in fact, my house IS orange. I've had a look at your Canyon Orange and I think the basic problem is that I would not ever think to combine it with grey. It is similar to my DR ceiling, actually, a room that has wallpaper with a cream background (and the orange in it, along with purple and green). And plain cream on the walls other than that. So if that is your orange colour, I would go with a bright cream, not grey (*and not beige!!!*). But... why is that your chosen orange colour? I would pick an accent colour to help pull together other, less flexible elements in the room, not to create another element that needs to be integrated. The accent colour would be an outcome, not a input. Do you have any prints in the room? I find wallpaper, rugs, or upholstery to be a good place to unite all the different colours. We usually start with a wallpaper, actually, and then the room is always automatically pulled together as long as we stay within sight of the palette of the wallpaper. Maybe you have a piece of artwork, or could add one, that puts your chocolate brown with a good orange and the other tones you are working with? Whatever you use, it could give you the neutral you are after, and help you pinpoint the right orange for the chocolate brown (although I think the shade you've chosen is good for the brown). I know wallpaper is out of style (other than at my house :-)), but from what you've described, a print somewhere in the room might be a welcome change from all the unicolor items. Other orange combinations that we have... the house is P&L Mineral Red and is trimmed with a mid green and Black Magic (dark purple). The stairwell is a creamsicle shade from SW with white trim. And I have some furniture painted a wonderful burnished reddish orange combined with purple in one case, and navy in another. As for brown... I like it with a soft lilac, and I love orange and purple together. You might be able to find a lilac that would work with both your orange and your brown. Sounds insane, I know, but if you keep it very subtle it could work - a clear tone, not greyed. Or a sage green? Anything but grey :-) Karin L

This might be cooler than you’re after, but I painted my entire house SW Origami White (eggshell). Depending on the natural light in the room, it can be cool-to-warm. It’s worked well with any color art I’ve experimented with. (Ceiling and trim are SW Snowbound.) Good luck. Whites are tricky.

If im looking at this correctly on your cabinet walls there will be very little paint. do you want those small portions to pop? go with a darker color. or blend in with the splash? go lighter. the nice thing about those small sections are they are easy to repaint and change it up. As for the larger walls i also think the three middle colors are nice. And consider lighting temp and natural light. that has a big change on what it will look like IRL. and in the end - it’s just paint. it can always be changed.

since cherry has red undertones, pick a gray or taupe that also leans that way. or toward the greens. I actually like that warm charcoal color. But here are some grays that should go w/the cherry. have you considering upping your bulbs to 4000K? (if you haven't already) it will reduce the yellowish hues. Here is River White granite w/cherry cabinets. crackled glaze subway tile in a greenish gray Beige and white quartz, off white painted walls, and a warmer gray/taupe subway tile splash. dark hardware another cherry w/marble-look quartz Have you considered adding some glass to a few of your uppers? you have a long span of cabinets w/no visual break. Tried to photoshop in a few so you could see cherry cabs with some type of quartz countertop and a blue/gray backsplash cherry with a lot of white. consider moving your microwave elsewhere and getting a vent hood if you're redoing the countertop, can you extend your island top to one level? Maybe have table legs on the end for eating similar to this. I'd bring in some diff pendants and switch to gold replace your knobs w/gold handles. (makes the cabinet doors look so much prettier) this is just a quick photoshop to show you what the one level would look like, some handles and two pendants instead of that one triple. You could even add some butcher block to one end if you like. diff ways to lay out that island. if you did this style, do an overhang on one side for seating
