If the paint color worked with the counter top that would've been great- but, I think this would look okay. In the long run you could change the paint color later, but looking at the visualizer, I think it'll be okay.

If anything, you could just pick a coordinating color that works both with the gray and the kitchen counter top color. The new color could just go on the wall with the kitchen sink and double glass doors, the side wall in the kitchen, and the refrigerator wall.

I couldn't tell since no photos show the refrigerator wall side, but I'm assuming it's a cased opening because of the refrigerator and the over-the-cooktop microwave.

It's so hard making so many color decisions when moving to a brand-new place. Very often people pick a color they like without coordinating with what else is in the space. Some of the pros on Houzz advise not even doing the paint job beforehand but making a decision when furnishing are in the new place, hard for some of us to consider. Going forward, a couple rules of thumb:

--Before painting walls, make sure to coordinate paint samples with a home's fixed features: the countertops, tile flooring, wood flooring (don't forget, a floor is a 4th wall), existing appliances.

--After narrowing down possibilties, coordinate the samples with the "must keep" furniture. If you have a huge brown couch, then gray walls don't always work. The Houzz search engine is great for providing photos like: "gray living room, brown floor, red couch" if you are trying to pull off something tricky.

--Harmonizing open spaces pretty much calls for a continuous color on the walls. But many people with a good eye can do a workaround with an accent wall, or a piece of art between areas in colors that pull everything together. If you're going gray/blue and tan countertops and floor, here are some art pieces with tans and grays. Whatever you choose needs to harmonize with your furnishings and your personal taste in art or style in rugs, curtains, art, etc. Wait on those selections until you're moved in.

Well I guess what's done is done. My cabs are BM Swiss coffee which I love, but are definitely warmer than my wall paint. I'm by the coast, so it may work as a coastal toss up kitchen. I'll try to meld the two with accents, or hirer someone to fix my mess.

Anyone?

Thanks. I called a designer to help me pick a color that would work with the rest of my floor plan, if that's even possible. Painting it white would look as if I stopped painting halfway through.
