I need help. t These countertops are more green than I'd like. I would really like to bring out the GREY (undertones) instead. the cabnets are a really red cherry. Between the green undertones and the red cabinets the whole kitchen is too christmas-y. what paint color would you recommend?

The current kitchen is 40 years old and needs to be completely gutted so there is no current scheme. I don't want to do white cabinets since it won't flow very well into the dining area. I've never done anything like this before as I've always been a renter and it's ovewhelming. It seems that the theme of dark granite/lighter cabinets and vice versa prevails, but it's not what I'm necessarily attracted to and I don't trust my taste. We will be doing stainless appliances with an oak floor.

I suggest getting a new landscape plan from a pro that you can implement in stages. Some of the larger shrubs under the windows may be transplanted in a new plan. If that's not what you have in mind, try trimming the shrubs back to a foot below the window sills. This is a good time to plan bulbs in many areas of the US. Paint the front door in a new contrasting color such as deep red. If you like brights, try lime green, orange, or yellow.

Sea Haze is showing blue undertones (on my monitor). That blue/gray is staying true in daylight...the night colour (artificial lighting = light bulbs) is showing green. Ipso facto...it is the articial lighting (the light bulbs) that are changing your colour. Gray is tricky like this...that's why a paint swatch on the wall that is seen through several changes of day/lighting changes is well worth the extra effort. Anyway. Try visiting a lighting store to ask what bulbs you can purchase ($45 worth of replacement bulbs = cheaper than a new paint job) that will keep the "true" daytime colour of the Sea Haze. Buy one or two to try out in a room (like a bathroom or a hallway) and give it a go. If the bulbs fix the problem then the fix = whole new set of bulbs for your home. Done.
