Thank you for the suggestion and for taking the time to share examples. I agree that pale yellow would coordinate well, although I have to admit that yellow is my least favorite color. It’s worth considering though.

Countertops went in yesterday so I snapped a quick photo of the progress. I picked up 5 more paint samples to test out, so hopefully I can make a decision soon!

nice install......I'd say maybe a very pale greige...but not sure w a blue backsplash. I've used wool skein by S Williams and cut the intensity by a certain percentage.....its a really good shade that straddles warm with cool. And you have a lot of cool but I would acknowledge the floor and somehow incorporate that tone. That s why the palest of yellow would be pretty I think.

You’ve already made a lot of cool/cold choices so it might be difficult to make the room not-cool/cold.

Herb (above) made some good suggestions.

do you have hardware picked out? that might be a clue to a direction....

No hardware picked out yet, but we'll go with satin nickel for the finish.

We're leaning towards Rhinestone for the paint color -- definitely a lot of cool colors in the room, but I think it's what we'll be happy with in the end. There will be dark wood shelves on one wall and there are dark wood doors and window sills in the surrounding spaces, plus tree views from every window, so hopefully that will keep things from looking too sterile. I also plan to add some warmth with accessories.

At this point I've tested nearly every whitish-blue-gray color that Sherwin Williams offers. If anyone sees this and is wondering about a specific color, I can probably share an example :)

I have similar colors and, after 24 color samples, I chose BM Blue Lace and BM Gentle Gray. I love them!
