Help with cabinet color

6 years ago

Hello smart colour people, I hope you are all well and safe. I'm trying to choose a base cabinet colour. The floor will be this cork from Amorim:

The countertop and uppers will be white, and I want to visually anchor the base cabinets using a warm green with a similar value to the floor.

I have samples of BM Grasshopper, Mesquite, Burgess Green, and Grassland.

The kitchen is at the far end of a big open space with a large south facing window.

Oh yeah, I have to do this remotely, as the house under renovation is in one country, and I am in another one.

I am furiously moving these samples around in my house, trying to guess at how they might read in a different room, in different light, in a different house.

Here are my concerns: That the lighter colours, Grasshopper and Mesquite, will look washed out and not be dark enough to anchor the cabinets to the floor, or that the warmer colours, Grasshopper and Grasslands, will be too warm for the southern exposure and will read as too yellowish. Do you think these concerns are valid, and should I be leaning toward something like Burgess Green that is cooler, darker and less saturated, or cooler and even a shade darker like Urban Nature?

The colour that I like the most, separate from these concerns, because it just makes me happy, is Grasshopper. But that doesn't mean it's the best one for this situation.

For what it's worth here are a couple of images created with Amorim and BM visualization tools:
