Paint...

I thought I knew what color to paint the kitchen. I had this kitchen (picture saved on computer before thinking to cite source but maybe BH&G?) in mind as an inspiration:
 But that was back when the cabinets were to be painted white. Since then, we chose antique cream cabinets and yet I never thought to change my paint choice. I got a quart of the paint to test on the walls and did NOT like the result one bit. With cream cabinets, yellow and cream floors, and white tile, the citrus color just seemed odd. 

So, off to Sherwin Williams I went... I had my Bee's Wax paint chip in hand (it is the LR, DR, and hall color plus is similar to the yellow in the floor). A lot of paint chips later, I'm mulling this...

I think the row to the right is too similar to the cabinets (though the second from the bottom could be interesting). I thought I'd like the grey (yellow and grey is so hot right now) but I think I'm leaning towards the taupe that is the second from the top on the middle row...


Thoughts?

though computers are notoriously bad for seeing real colors, i think the taupe you like would be an excellent choice. can't wait to see how it turns out!

when you started your kitchen project, it inspired me to get the ball rolling on my own (albeit far less involved) kitchen project. painted the walls gray and am trying to work up the gumption to tackle painting the cabinets white!
