Hi Anthony, Pale blue and dark brown are quite different! What's the colour scheme of the rest of your kitchen - the cabinets, floors, worktops, walls, etc? And what is the lighting like - do you get a lot of natural light? If not, maybe sticking to lighter colours for tiles would be best!

It all depends on so many different things. Warm grey/cool grey - it's all relative. If the room is really sunny with plenty of light then a blue tinged grey can work. Generally though, your floor looks quite a nutty brown and not too orange so pretty much anything should work. Sage greens look traditional, deep greens look fashionable, dark blue and pale grey look lovely but are everywhere, which is fine. Farrow and Ball describe Elephant's Breath as warm but it can look a bit pink and has definite 'walrus' undertones (that should put just about everyone off!) Little Greene Slaked Lime is a set of greys that are good. I would take a look at them as a starting point perhaps. Walrus breath from now on - we need a chuckle at the moment.

I like black and blue, theimage pjdklm posted is lovely. It can be a very dark look so make sure you have enough light in the room. Another option would be to paint the bottom cupboards dark blue and the upper cabinets a light colour. I would definitely try looking at it with an app that lets you try different colours in a photo first.

Love the decor. The kitchen cabinets could be painted in a similar grey (F&B Railings or Downpipe comes to mind), or a lovely green like F&B Pigeon, but I wonder if a simple white would look good and then you could choose any colour you like on the walls? I’m not sure how hardwearing F&B eggshell paints are, but there are specific paints for kitchen cupboards by Dulux and Rust-oleum. There is also a paint brand called Frenchic which everyone raves about, but I’ve never used it. The current wall paint could possibly be Skimming Stone by F&B or Egyptian Cotton by Dulux, but this is just a guess.
