Carol, it is very important to try the colros first since they are custom colors. Pittsfield buff link: http://www.myperfectcolor.com/Benjamin-Moore-HC-24-Pittsfield-Buff-p/mpc0006990.htm Monroe Bisque link: http://www.myperfectcolor.com/Benjamin-Moore-HC-26-Monroe-Bisque-p/mpc0006991.htm Great color combination with Monroe bisque link: http://www.myperfectcolor.com/MPC-Designer-Picks-Calm-Classics-1-p/mpc-mpcombo-0710mcc1.htm This site is usefull because they make a sample size for any color you want. I had used Monroe Bisque for my wall in my hallway and on the trim I had www.Myperfectcolor.com send me another sample at 25% strength for my trim.

Good luck and post a pciture when complete

I'm not sure about the backsplash yet. It will be tiled. But I dont have something specific picked out yet. It wont be bright and flashy though. I am now torn between a creamy color like BM Windham Cream. Or this morning I saw a maple kitchen with Restoration Hardware's Sycamore Green. The woman at BM thought that Windham Cream was too much like natural maple. WDYT?

Sorry I don't have pics, but if you're stopping by a SW store this weekend, here are the options our designer selected for our white kitchen (see "Pics of Yet Another Almost Finished White Kitchen" thread) and her comments on each color. (1) SW 6386, Napery (YELLOW): This light buttery color will tie in very well with the remainder of the house. It will also look good with blues and greens. Cons: This color is not as cool as the other choices and may not give you the crisp look you are being drawn to in the magazine pics you shared with me. (2) SW 6421, Celery (GREEN): This crisp and cool green with look great with your blue and white dishes and ties in well with the rest of the house. Banquette upholstery could be done in a blue and white them to help tie in the dishes. Cons: May not be as sophisticated as the look you were desiring. (3) SW 6246, North Star (BLUE GRAY, THE COLOR WE CHOSE): This color of blue will look beautiful with the white cabinets, countertops, and blue and white dishes. If used, green could be used as a complimentary color in the banquette upholstery. Thought I'd pass this along so someone else could possibly benefit from the design fee we paid for this. :)

A navy blue would be nice. But, once you start updating a kitchen it's hard to find a good stopping point. Often people find that once they update one thing, it just highlights the other outdated elements. Are you planning on updating the appliances, wallpaper, and flooring?
