Can't recall any with that colour but you may get some splashback/worktop inspiration from the this real customer kitchens page with over 1,100 kitchen examples on.

The world is literally your oyster -- you could go for any colour you like! Don't be afraid of strong colours. But one way to take away some of the "whiteness" without going the whole hog is to have the splashback area under the cupboards a stronger colour. That could be either a glass splashback (which you should consider at least behind the cooker), or hard-wearing paint. You could use a stronger colour below the cupboards, and a lighter version on the bigger walls. We used a strong blue here; the under-cupboard lighting made it look a bit lighter:

Hi Sassy G, It's great how much natural light you are getting into this space from the patio doors and the light fixtures and fittings will help create the feel of a bigger space. For the Living Area: I would suggest a 2 seater against the back wall (as per your plan) and a small coffee table in front with your 2 cocktail chairs facing inwards. This helps create the feel of a separate living area but also accommodates for additional seating for guests. Or instead of the 2 cocktail chairs you could have an upholstered storage bench which doubles up as storage as well as seating. This is also great because it keeps the openness of the space. For the Kitchen: For the splashback I think a high gloss teal finish would look lovely here. It adds a splash of colour, its bright (but not too bright) and different and would look great against your current worktop. Paint ideas: Having an off white colour is a good choice for the living and dining area. You could also try two different paint colours for each of these rooms to help break up the space or incorporate a feature all paint colour such as Farrow and Ball 'Peignoir'. Your ideas are great and it will turn out lovely. If you need further help or advice for this project, or would like an interior designer for this I would be happy to help you - feel free to have a look at my profile or my website www.rebeccafullertoninteriors.com.
