Sure! There are many different ways to develop a harmonious colour palette in a space. But in a kitchen of all places, I would want to measure the colour attributes of impactful key fixed finishes and take those into account too. e.g. worktop & flooring. Whatever colour for cabinetry and walls you choose, they need to relate to these major players of the space. Mapping into which Hue Families they belong, is a great place to start, before introducing more colours. Limiting the number of Hue Families from which you select these major items, is a stramlined way to ensure a sense of harmony in your space. Then you can add as many further colors as you like, including pale, muted, vivid, dark options - but only drawn from these 3 x Hue Families, keeps your colour palette cohesive. Example Hue Families that can work together and incorporate your window colour.

I think the mixed tiling is just too busy and will create clutter. By all means have a Moroccan tile if you wish but something less hectic would be better. The orange walls will just create too much drama and make the room even darker. If you want orange then tone it right down to a peachy pink. It will still be Mediterranean but not so in your face. However, once you add morrocan tiles you won’t need to paint the walls unless they need doing. The first pic is Zelig tiles which have a lovely pearlescent handmade finish. Less is more.

Hi I have Gemini Worktops Siena Gold worktops in my kitchen. I would describe the colour as "winter white" with a very subtle muted gold vein (not sparkly).They are not cream, they are white but they are a warm white not an icy/"blue" /cold white. I've attached a photo of a sample against the floor tiles and a sample of kitchen door. I also have a tiled floor covering approx 70 metres2. The grout is an off white but a note of caution with a light coloured grout, and that is that they do take some effort to maintain the colour, not so much in the lounge and other rooms but in the kitchen. I apply grout sealer which seems to help but a steam mop is a no no.
