The kitchen is a galley kitchen with a window at one end and a stainless sink below the window. At the other end is a large pass thru opening into living room and den.
Any ideas what to paint walls to brighten up kitchen?

Have you seen the Sherwin Williams 'Chip It'? It is an easy web app that you use to find paint colors you like. Simply find the colors in a picture that you like and roll over the picture with the chip it app and it breaks it all down into colors.
To find pictures, I do an image search for 'fat quarters" that is chunks of material set in coordinating colors. Or do a search for 'galley kitchen design" and 'hickory" and use the chip it app for color suggestions. It really makes color choices easy. Just a suggestion.
Consider a lighter semi-gloss or glossy paint that is a lighter tint of the floor or the cabinets. You might even like to use a green that is a tint of the counter top color. Have you considered a "tin" ceiling? It comes in panels and can have the appearance of shiny metal, but can also be painted.
If there is a color in the den/living room that is in the same family as the colors in kitchen, this could be used to tie the rooms together, but it should be light. I would have also suggested gray, but you have a lot of black and another color will brighten more. Hope this helps.
