Hard to tell, but another option to look at would be Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter. It's amazing how versatile this colour is. Sometimes will look grey if combined with grey colours, but works very well with beige, creamy tones.

Accessible Beige would work with those cabinets. Are you looking for minimal contrast with the cabinets or do you want the wall color to stand out?

I agree that the grey makes your lovely kitchen look a little drab. I would also go with the white. It lightens and brightens everything else and really brings out the flooring in particular.

Honestly, I think I'd bring home some of the old standby Antique White, which I think would make your kitchen at home in its walls instead of at war with them...

Thank you all. I was originally thinking that the walls should be a contrasting colour to the cabinets, but one that enhances their look. I'm open to a creamy white - I'd just be concerned that if I'm off a bit it may look like a failed colour match.

I'll bring home some of the suggested colour chips and see what I can figure out.

Thank you again.

Is there any way to find out what the cabs were painted with, and then just go up a notch or two on the color strip?

The gray is way too blue. Look at Devine Color Paint - Devine Moss.

A few other options are SW Balanced Beige, Toney Taupe, Analytical Gray and Amazing Gray.

beth09 - the sales centre is closed for a few weeks between lot releases, but I can certainly stop by and ask.

Jennifer - I've never heard of that brand of paint. Perhaps it's not sold in a Canada?

Thanks for for more colours to try beanie. See attached pictures.

The first one shows Accessible Beige on top and Shiitake on the bottom. Both look good to my eye (and basically the same!) with Shiitake offering a slight bit more contrast.

The next photo is Revere Pewter and the third is Edgecomb Grey.

Probably Le any one of them would be such a big improvement!

I absolutely love Reverse Pewter, but I think it depends on your lighting. It can read so differently. You need a warm color & it can definitely read warm. The gray you have now is cold & it clashes with your warm kitchen.

you're on the right track w/the Revere Pewter. that current gray is far too blue and too cold. The cabs/counter are nice, but need a warm color on the walls.

Along w/Revere, look into Pale Oak or Collingwood.

here are some other grays

Is another gray what you are looking for, or are you open to another color? There are some soft greens that I think would be lovely, and green-gray (or gray-green) would also work. Any gray, I think, needs to have browner or green tones to work here -- definitely avoid blue. Hold your chips against some white paper, in good light, to see their undertones most easily.

Of the grays pictured above, I think I like coastal Fog the best for your kitchen. The Martha Stewart Gull is also worth a look -- not as gray as it looks here (at least, on my computer) but more what you might call 'bone' white. It's one of those colors that changes with the light/time of day, sometimes more ashy, sometimes more creamy. It is what my cabinets are painted and I really am fond of it.
