What colour should I paint the walls?

We have just had a new kitchen installed and have opened up the wall between the two rooms to make it lighter. I'm really pleased with how it has turned out but now I'm not sure what colour to paint the walls. I am swaying towards a blue-gray colour but I'm finding it hard to find the right shade. Any suggestions gratefully received! The cabinets are a light grey and the worktop is marble (not real!). There are going to be white subway tiles added as a kitchen splashback and the cooker is black like the hood.

What colour should I paint my walls?
Comments (3)Hi. I'd paint the dado rail and below in a darker shade of grey with a lighter shade on top. I wouldn't go too dark, maybe a light to medium on the bottom. If you wanted to add another colour for accessories try a deep turquoise or green. If you wanted more colour try a pale olive on the walls instead...See MoreWhat colour should I paint the outside walls of my 1970s house?
Comments (1)If you are looking for a green based grey I would recommend farrow and ball Old White. We are just having our house repainted this colour. I wanted grey but we are surrounded by greenery and the blue based greys looked light blue rather than grey. The green base to Old White works well with greenery. Its also a very classic colour and so is easy to live with (or at least I hope so!). I have been amazed at how different the different greys look when put next to one another. All look grey in isolation. Together you can very clearly see that some are green based, some blue based and some purple based....See MoreWhat colour should i paint my walls to match chocolate brown curtains

7 years agoThanks - I actually ended up going with a light grey kitchen paint by crown called 'sugar bowl' which was a very similar colour to the units and a couple of walls of 'city life' by Crown which I love!
