If your lights are LED you can choose between bulbs that produce warmer 2400k, 3000k, 3500k, or cooler white light 4000k, 4500k and 5000k. The right wall paint will be easier if you can include the actual paint color info for your cabs.

Our cabinets go to the ceiling, which is 9.5 feet. There's a part of the kitchen aside from that where there's nothing on the walls – a short hallway/mudroom/rear door of our house – and that's where most of the paint will be.

Here are 2 pictures of our kitchen. I’ve outlined in blue a major part of the surface that will be painted (and the wall opposite).

I think a whiter white for your walls will show the warmth of your cabinets. Have you selected hardware? You might want to consider a warm gold tone like this kitchen,

The flooring, lights, and counters will all make a difference in how the cabinets read. What is the color on them?

The floor is natural oak. The counters are Spectrum Quartz Graceful. And the lights are ... well, I know bulbs are a whole distinct area now, but I can't answer that one. The fixtures are brass and amber. The hardware will be brushed or something like that brass. Also the faucet.

Thank you @chispa . Our plan was definition to use a fairly strong orange (SW Invigorate or something similar) to pull out the color of the backsplash. But you may well be right and we will definitely think about that before committing to orange! I am excited to go shopping for gorgeous kitchen stuff. Thanks so much!

You could also look at wallpaper if you are the eclectic type ... you can add pattern, yet keep it a light/bright color.

Consider painting the walls the same tone as the counters. You will have to do the match, but guessing B.M. Linen White (below). If you notice in this photo the lampshades are a touch off white. Combo makes for a warm design. Then continue you on with @chispa's idea of adding wood tones in accents. You've started warm wood with the floors.

Do you know the name of the paint color on the cabinets?

Brass and amber fixtures imply accent lighting. Rask and ambient are additional segments. For light on the tomato you're thin slicing 450 lumens is a minimum at he counter. The light sources are placed above and 6" in front of your cutting spot to avoid shadows from your body. Two offset side-to-side sources like 4" cans further reduce shadowing. You can also use some under cabinet led lighting.

@dan1888 We will have under-cabinet lighting and recessed lighting, plus a couple of fixtures.
