Greens are terribly hard to work with. The same green paint will look green in one room and off-white in another. The coor will look different depending on the gloss level. You need to use your couter top as the guide. I suspect you are going to want to go into the yellows, not the greens. Take a look at Valspar 264B-1 Antique Fresco. You will be pleasantly surprised.

What greens have you tried? There are cooler greens with more of a blue undertone and warmer greens with more of a yellow undertone. The colors you are describing in your cabinets and countertop have more of the yellow undertones. I'd like to know which ones you've tried to give me a better understanding of what intensity etc. you hope to accomplish. The other ting to consider is what color are the walls now. Green paint samples can/could look odd or minty fresh against other colors. You may not be getting the big picture in a sample, and multiple coats of a darker color changes the color dramatically.

I have cherry shaker style cabinets and beige countertops in my kitchen. I have painted my kitchen "Rejuvenate" from Behr (purchased at Home Depot). It is a fresh spring green. You can purchase a sample to test it out. Good luck!

I'd go more into the blue/greens with your cabs and counters. A glass or painted tile backsplash would help unify color as well. Good Luck![houzz=][houzz=][houzz=][houzz=][houzz=][houzz=]

Thanks for all the help! I was able to use the pictures (perfect color match on cabinets) to get an idea of what I wanted. Our wall color is yellow now, so wanted a more organic look to new kitchen. I went to Home Depot, couldn't find the color 'Rejuvenate', but did find the color 'Celery Sprig'. I'd like to find a just slightly darker version of it. So, I believe I'm on my way! Thanks again for all the thoughtful advice!
