You want the color to pop? Or the actual kitchen itself to pop with a calmer color in the background?
I have Artichoke Valspar and I love it!!

The kitchen to pop

If that counter has as much green as it looks like in the photo, how about a red or orange? You'll get a pop from complementary colors - the ones just opposite of the color you start with.

Here's a fun page. Click on "complement" at the top and then move the dots around the color wheel to look for suggestions.

Here is a link that might be useful: Color Scheme Designer 3

Brickish red or maybe a yellow?
