Answer 1

wow from the picture that counter top looks ugly!  A yellow Not a BRIGHT but more a dull yellow would do

Answer 2

Yellow!

Answer 3

I have that exact color for my counters too, and ours is a galley kitchen so I know small...  When we bought our house, I wanted to do something dramatic with the wall color because it was our first home and for the first time, we didn&#039;t need to ask a landlord&#039;s permission!  You&#039;re going to think it&#039;s nuts, but we went with a concord grape color on the walls (think grape jelly).  It looks amazing!  For accessories, I have some dish cloths with bunches of grapes on them (which have the green leaves and purple grapes).  If I did it again today, I&#039;d have bought the towels first and did a color-match to get the same purple.  I loved it so much that I carried the purple walls over to our dining room - with light oak floors and wrought iron accessories, it looks beautiful!  

Answer 4

Maybe a yellowish-cream.  That would go well with green.  Also (If you feel up to it) you could put some mirrors in your kitchen.  That makes it look bigger and spacier.  Have fun! :D

Macadamia would look really good or I agree with the lighter yellow

Good Luck!!! : )

Answer 6

A very pale dusty green or yellow

Answer 7

Without even looking at your photo, I would suggest that you need to select a single colour that is present in the benchtop and go with that, you can&#039;t go wrong. And because you said that the kitchen is quite small it would be advisable to go with a lighter colour to open the space and create the illusion that it is bigger than it really is. Get a couple of small sample pots and paint small swatches on the walls and live it for a few days, checking it out in different light. Its worth doing this at the beginning and making sure you&#039;re happy with the colour before you go all out and paint the whole thing and decide you hate it.

Happy painting!

Answer 8

i&#039;d go with a light golden yellow and then have Dark Red accessories! OR Paint the walls deep red and have Golden Yellow accessories!

Answer 9

A deep beige or creamy yellow would look nice.  Never mind the idiot who said the counter was ugly.  I like the marble - very rustic.
