What color to paint
l am looking to paint my kitchen however the cabinets arepecan colored,the
floor is white ceramic tile and the countertops are granite with colors of
grey-kind of speckled....what color would be a good match for me to paint
an accent wall or possible all the walls? Not sure what would go with
pecan and greys..... l wanna add a bit of warmth-but not make the
kitchen totally dark-l am leaning towards a pumpkin spice color
Here is a kitchen idea planner from Ikea. I think the pumpkin
spice or a red would look great. There are many different combinations in
the planner to suite all different tastes:

play with your colours here: behr.com and use colorsmart. it
is very cool. you can paint a kitchen on-line and play.
pumpkin would look nice, sage green too, as it has a bit of grey to it,
not yellow.
All the so far are good. Almost anything will go with the
pecan/white/gray colors already present because they are neutrals. The
best way to choose a color is by doing the following:
1) Decide what color(s) you absolutely don't want
2) Go to the store you plan on buying ur paint from & get some paint chips
or color sample cards etc. from ur brand of choice. They’re usually free so you can get everything they have or stick to colors you're sure you will like. 3) Put them up on the walls in the kitchen. A piece of tape or fun-tack on the back on the card/chip/etc. should do, they are usually pretty light. You can do one color at a time or several colors at once, whatever you feel works best. 4) Live with it a while. As you decide which ones you can/can not live with remove what you don't like & keep what you do. At the end you should wind up with 1 or a few colors that you really like & really look good in ur kitchen. Don't be afraid to go with more then one color. There is no rule that says all the walls have to match or that one wall must be all the same color. The things you can do with textures, patterns & faux finishes now are amazing & usually easy. One quick note..even though the colors in the room are neutral they seem to carry warm tones, so if you want to blend with them be sure you go with warmer colors (red, orange, yellow) rather then cooler colors (blue, green, silver) but once again, it is up to you-nothing says you can not contrast instead of blend. You’re the one that has to live there & cook there, so you’re the only person whose opinion really matters in this. If you don’t like it, don’t do it just because someone else tells you it’s what’s “best”. Before you paint, don't forget to scrape, patch, sand, & prime- especially if this isn’t the kitchen is first or second paint job! Tape off anything you don't want paint on & you will wind up with a very professional looking job for a lot less money then hiring someone else would cost. Good luck, & let us know how it turns out! Oh, 1 more thing. If you want some hints of how ur finished kitchen will look, or just want to make sure the colors go together go here http://behr.com/behrx/workbook/. Have fun!
I think that sounds like a great color! Try adding some throw
rugs with that color on the floor to pull the darkness down.
I think the pumpkin spice color sounds beautiful with your
kitchen and quite cozy. Sample different shades and look at them in
different lights before you decide.
I think a pumpkin/spice color would be lovely. Here is
something to make it easy. Try to find something, like a towel or throw
pillow or a piece of art, with those colors in it. You will have the
pecan, the grey & the pumpkin & see how it looks together. Or is you find
fomething with just the pecan & grey, see what other colors look nice
combined & you can not go wrong.
You might consider a sage green. Actually that grey is ''neutral'' so it will go with anything. And if you go too dark with ur wll color, the whole kitchen will look like a cave. You can also color-block one wall with that pumpkin, & use another lighter version around the cabinets. Good luck.
Pumpkin spice walls sound lovely. I would paint the ceiling a
buttercup yellow to accent. Looks so much better than a white ceiling. You
may even want a small wall to be the dark color and pull one wall of
buttercup yellow down one entire wall. Have fun!!
Terra Cotta or in the orange family. Terra cotta is in my
kitchen. It looks cool..
How about a salmon color? Just a thought, I bet it would look
awesome.
I personally like a pale yellow in kitchens, it just seems to
perk the whole place up, and is still neutral enough to go with pecan
colored cabinets, white tile and grey speckled granite. If you're looking
for something a little more contemporary than yellow, you could go with a
taupe (off-white) color. Go these websites:
behr.com dulux.co.uk benjaminmoore.com They all have a virtual tools where you can preview the color in a room before you purchase it. Lots of luck!!
a nice light yellow would be nice. It promotes a nice and light
space
