Paint Advice with Stainless Steel, Cherry Cabinets and Light Brown Counters

We need help with our kitchen paint color. We have stainless steel with cherry cabinets, cherry hardwood floors and light brownish counters. We cannot decide which wall color will best fit the kitchen. Please advise!

I'm not a fan of dark walls ever but I'm a great fan of sage green. Check some magazines. You'll see lots of green with cherry (if you care about "style" which I do NOT!). There are some many variations of green but I think a medium to light sage green would be perfect.

To me it would depend on whether you have windows or good lighting, as I like a lot of light in the kitchen, but I love dark colors. I would paint the walls light brown a shade lighter than the countertops, or maybe one or all walls a glossy cream to reflect light, and use black and cherry red accessories. Would love to see what you decided on!

I have the same issue. What did you decide?
