A solid taupe or gray. But those are pretty neutral. We painted ours mango madness orange. Worst paint name ever, but we have red accents also and it works. Yellow makes a nice contrast, but it's supposedly not the most flattering color in a kitchen. I think it all depends on your style. Good luck!

Have you considered just going with white - creamy or white, white?

Depending on how much red you plan to use, this could work.

If you do a search - using the bottom of the page search box - there are some threads that talk about kitchens with red accents. I think Boxerpups was kind enough to post some inspiration pics on one of the posts.

Also, one of the current posts 'yellow kitchen' has a pic using red accents.

Good Luck!

I think the right gray would look great - or even a light blue-gray color. I was also thinking that if you liked that whole "Matisse" look (lots of reds and oranges and yellows) you could also pick a yellow color - even a soft one that's not too bright. That would look really great - especially with some black thrown in here and there?
