since you are painting, ask the painting company if they can redo the island panel.
those heavy corbels/slatted wood just don't work
simple trim work arond the edges, batten panel on the front, no corbel. (
at the very least, they could do something like this (if you must have corbels, make them as minimal as possible. since it looks like it's under 10" you don't need the decorative supports.
the board and batten looks much nicer
you could just opt for the clean look and minimal trim on the base
When I had mine painted I had them remove the heavy corbels (if you actually need something for support, they can moderize it) the fluted trim and all the other Tuscan style items had to go.
I had those shelves made into large drawers
for a cleaner white, stay away from yellows, especially since your room is north facing.
Try a nice clean white. Oxford White maybe nice. On mine I used Simply White, but since this was a laquer conversion, I think they went one shade whiter. All my trim is Simply White
These are way too tan. and yellow (that far right one is too green)
Here's Simply White against a pure white. do not use White Dove. dingy in a north room
Even though Simply White has a bit of yellow to it, in a north facing room that gets grayish light, plus the cool gray tones of that granite, it should balance it out. I'd for sure try a sample of this color
you also need to consider whether you have WARM grays or COOL grays, as well as considering their undertones. Cool grays often prefer true or cool whites, whereas warm grays often prefer true or warm whites
Your granite appears to lean more on the cool side of gray.. That's why all of those colors you've picked don't work.
