Best paint color for kitchen part II...

Question

I know I've asked this before, but now I have pictures (below). I have cabinets that are a medium oak color. I would like to frame these prints in a dark burnished walnut frame. I like a clay color with a touch of gray for the walls. I am also installing some artsy off-white pendant lighting in the kitchen as well. Your thoughts on color.

Answer 2

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

They have a color called "sandbank" (# 6052) that seems similar to the clay-gray that you describe.

You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

Answer 3

love the art work. if you are choosing to go with a clay/gray color and off white lighting fixtures, then i would go with the dark brown for your cabinetry the med. oak may not blend as well as a darker brown. if you cant change it, then go with black picture frames and some more black art work to tie all the pieces together
