So I’m having a little trouble understanding- do you want green, or do you want blue-green? My island color is SW Pewter Green and I think it would look good with your cabinets and Agreeable Grey walls.

So we actually started with Pewter Green, Retreat and Acacia Haze. Pewter Green was way too dark for us against our black countertops (I think that’s been one of the biggest challenges) and as the sun sets during the day. Neither seemed right in our space so I ended up trying blues- but I’d really prefer something that pulls a little more green than blue. So I’ve gone up a shade lighter in most colors so there’s a better contrast to the countertops.

I saw a post using “evergreen fog” and am wondering if that’s another I should look into ... obviously one half of my kitchen gets some natural light and the other doesn’t.

Both Oyster Gray and Evergreen fog, are very green. On my monitor, I get a slight aqua tint from your wall paint which you said was agreeable gray. Its very hard to tell on a computer monitor, but, maybe get a sample of the oyster gray and evergreen fog, and see how they look. I prefer evergreen fog over oyster bay. If those dont work, then look for an aqua color, and give that a try. Your lighting looks a bit yellow toned, which can throw things off too. Maybe before you try anymore samples, you should replace all your light bulbs, with a daylight type led 4000K. Lighting makes a really huge difference in how paint looks.

Ooooh the light suggestion is a good one! We don’t like a lot of overhead lights and installed dimmers everywhere, but the yellow hue of our bulbs could definitely be a part of the problem for sure. That may be why some of the colors I initially thought I’d like haven’t been working out ...

Lack of light tends to pull everything darker and grayer, so I find that I need to choose colors that are less grayed in spaces like that to compensate. What about something like SW Dried Thyme, Wetlands, Getaway Green, or Farm to Table. All lighter and less gray than Pewter Green.

Thank you for the color suggestions- I’ll look into them!

Pretty! 🌈

Looks great!
