Need help with wall color in kitchen... nothing works
I can't find the right color for my walls. Greyson look too blue and beige doesn't look like anything. I'm doing a carrera honed backsplash but can't find the right color to bring it all together. Any suggestions?

Carlos I would choose a soft color, like a light yellow, it has to be delicate but more colored than the one that you have... Because that's a complementary color of the violets and blues!
Good luck...

Simpkins & Associates, Inc. I would use a very soft golden - about the color of a chamois.

Stoneshop What about choosing a very soft, subtle light gray? Try to pull a color from your Carrara backsplash.

Carlos I wanted to add something else... I've heard about 'glittered walls', you can do it yourself because It's very easy. It just needs paint (I would choose a gold color, as '
Simpkins & Associates, Inc.' said, great idea!) and some glitter. And It's cheap.
I'll attach a like to help you and an image of what I'm talking about...

Barbara Griffith Designs Would like to see pictures of the rest of the kitchen please. And, maybe adjacent rooms.

Barbra Bright Design I agree with the light grey suggestion. I think it will pull all the elements of your kitchen together from the carrara counter tops to the blue-grey cabinets. Check out Benjamin Moore's "Winter Soltice" # 1605.

mbmckenna13 Benjamin Moore 1584, pale smoke is a color similar to beach glass. It looks really nice with Carrara and dark floors, stainless steel and white, etc. what is the actual color on the refrigerator wall? You could also go one shade lighter with 1583, silver crest.

Natalie Hi---Nothern Cliffs by Ben Moore should do it for you. Pics for inspiration... Note-all the ceilings have been painted a color-nice touch... Good Luck!
