My cabinets are a honey pine, my countertop has brown, grey, black, a rusty color, with light tan granite edging. My backsplash is in tannish tile with some grey/black going thru some of the tiles. My floor is a nice light warm tan color of wood plank flooring. I have for accents in decorations, med to darker green in mats, in pictures and flower arrangements, with touches of plum and mauvey pinkish flowers.

Keep trying with the poster boards-try some of the greens but especially try with the grey in your work-top.
Grey is an amazing colour! I learned in a 1970s photography class that colours really 'pop' against a grey background.
The instructor sent us out with the assignment to take pictures of landscapes during an overcast day. The more grey the sky, the more the colours in the landscape seemed to come alive in the resulting photos.
Over the year-long course we photographed a local park through all four seasons on overcast and sunny days; the pics of overcast days showed colours that were much more vibrant and 'there' than the ones taken on bright, sunny days. The colours in the pics taken on the brighter days actually seemed to be washed out, it was a very interesting lesson in the affect of lighting and colours. I have spent the last 40 years applying those lessons to my home decorating and have never been disappointed.
You may find after putting up the grey poster board that the grey makes all of the colours you're using in that kitchen seem more 'pulled together' whilst making each individual colour brighter and more 'there'.
Your colours sound lovely, please post a picture if you can after you paint no matter what colour you chose for the walls:)
