I have cream units with dark charcoal work tops and medium oak floor. The tiled splasback is three colours of cream, light and dark grey. I painted the walls in a truffle colour but it's turned out a lilac grey and I hate it. Can anyone help with a colour for the walls please. I don't like bold colours.

Hi Tricia. I agree with the other comments that painting kitchen cabinets is a lot of work and I don’t think you would be better pleased with the end result. Some cabinets can take painting better than others. For a different idea you could extend the wall cabinets almost up to the ceiling by either finding extra wall units or if you’re handy with diy creating them yourself. Then replace doors with some mdf panels which you can then prime/paint yourself (see pics below for the kinda thing I was thinking of). Mdf doesn’t cost all that much but if you’re not confident with cutting or drilling hinge holes then a local joiner could do this for you. Wouldn’t normally recommend painting tiles but if it’s just short term then it’s maybe worth a try. I wouldnt use any wood panels behind a gas hob tho, might be a fire risk.

I think you need something calming as you have yellow and teal so you don’t want anything to clash. I wonder if a mid grey like Dulux Chic Shadow would go well? Here’s a couple of pics

Thanks everyone! I might try a sample of tranquil dawn and if it’s no good, I’ll probably stick to the white or even a cream to make it softer. Louise, tbh I don’t think we’ll bother with any more tiling though that sounds like a very nice idea.
