Paint suggestions to match Brown Fantasy counter

Just moved to our “new to us” home and eager to tear out the moss green corian countertops. Fell in love with a Brown Fantasy (leather) countertop. Am wondering what color SW paint would go well with the cabinets, Durango Noce tile backsplash & floor and the Brown Fantasy countertop. Any suggestions? The kitchen opens up to the great room which I believe is painted Pioneer Beige or something like that. That will eventually be repainted also but I don’t have it in the budget to do now.


Attaching a a photo of the cabinets, tile and Brown Fantasy.

    Backsplash tile in my opinion does not go at all.

    I am not crazy about it but I am stuck with it until I can afford to change it. So that being said, do you have a suggestion for a paint color for the walls?

    B.M. Vale Mist


    I vote” no" on the Durango.

    The durango is already in place, and i can't change it at this time. There really isn't much backsplash because I have a lot of open areas. But the green corian must go and I will need to deal with the durango at another time. So I am looking for a color to make the brown fantasy and the durango work as much as possible.

    I understand not being able to replace the tile; but if the plan is to replace it when you can afford to, I would demo the tile when you take out the counters. I would not want to demo tile once my brand new counters were in. Skim coat/sand, repair the walls as needed and just paint until you are ready to tile.

    Look at BM Pale Oak...looks slightly warmer than Vale Mist in my house.

    I must be totally color blind because I don’t think the three samples in the photo look horrendous. Lol. Thank you all for the tips. I won’t be painting the backsplash, to me that looks worse. I hate the green corian worse than I hate the noce backsplash (although I really do dislike it strongly). I will keep looking for a paint color or another granite that would work.

    SW accessible beige. SW Jogging path? Or another color from that strip? Since you have a tile, I'd take it the paint store and see what chips work. Neutrals are hard to gauge on a screen.

    The tile combo wouldn't be my first choice either, but it doesn't look twrrible in your picture. I'd deal with that backsplash for those counters anyday!

    Thank you Beanie, Accessible Beige has actually been on my radar. I will look into jogging path also.

    Jeannie- just curious- what wall color did you end up choosing? I have having the same issue now!

    Have you thought about continuing the slab as the backsplash? I’m not sure it would be much more expensive than tile but may be an idea. I would paint the cabinets a putty color. Similar to this
