Need help with a paint color for kitchen that will extend into living room and dining room
I am greatly struggling with a paint color that will compliment my kitchen cabinets. The cabinets are a dark brownish/sl. reddish color, not my favorite but hoping the right color will distract me. We just purchased the home and the prior owner had a blue/purple color throughout the entire first floor, it has to go. I love grays but just don't think they look right with the granite and cabinets. I have ordered new appliance (GE Cafe line) and currently searching for a glass tile backsplash as well. Current colors I am debating are BM Revere Pewter HC-172, BM Grant Beige HC-83, SW jogging path 7638 and Valspar Limestone EB36-3. I just don't think I have found the right color yet. I love pottery barn and restoration hardware type design, casual and yet coastal. I think I am over thinking it at this point as I am afraid that grays don't match and I really do not want to do a simple beige as I so desire color in this home. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, only thing is at this point I can not change cabinets or flooring so please consider that. I purchased a solaris 28" chandelier from Crystorama Lighting for above the island so far. This room is open to the entire main living area of the first floor so the color will continue throughout the house..... I think anyway. I thank those who take the time to read this and respond as I love all the designs on this site and so value your opinions, I unfortunately love to look at design but have not a creative bone in my body.
I attached 2 pictures for you to view cabinets and counter tops. Tile floor is dark tan with grays, browns and almost an orange type color.
Thank you,
Tara

Keep back splash tile very simple, the granite and flooring are busy Kitchen
The wall color I'd match to an off white that is found in the kitchen already: in the flooring or grout AND granite.
Here an article on choosing wall paint http://www.lindaholtinteriors.com/2011/07/testing-wall-color-101/
Good luck and Happy Holidays.
Here's a post I wrote about choosing grey that might help you feel better about the vast selection: http://www.mariakillam.com/2011/03/are-you-waiting-for-your-paint-colour-to-propose.html
The ONLY option for your backsplash is a solid creamy colour in a subway tile, there is enough pattern going on now with the floor and countertops.
Hope this helps,

So I would go with a warmer than grey colour, a mocha brown perhaps, your last paint choice was a goody, something to complement your cabinetry. Also you can look into copper splash backs as well, copper is back and popular too!
All the best with your make over!
