I would love pale green for most of the walls, with a deep gold as an accent color.

I painted my kitchen 'Halo Yellow' which is a very pale yellow, and it is beautiful. It is like a creamy whitish-yellow. It will brighten your kitchen as well. I wish I could remember the brand, but I know it was a common brand, Behr, etc.

I am thinking either a baby powder blue, or a light gray which would pick up the black.

I think a tera-cotta would be awesome.

Personally I am a big fan of yellow, not orange yellow like school buses but a clear, bright yellow like summer sun. depending how much wall space you have to cover, you could do a couple of shades, one lighter than the other, on opposite walls and if you like yellow.

How about a cantalope or honey dew color? An aqua would also be nice. Good luck!

Paint it a satin gold or amber color. I actually know someone with these exact colors in her kitchen and it looks fantastic!

My friends were horrified when I told them that I was painting my kitchen walls bright pink, but now they absolutely love it! Pink with black and white would give a retro 50's look. Dare to be different!

Thanks Allison, actually have green on the walls at the mo but think it's the wrong shade!

You could go with a golden tan that brings in a hint of yellow or do sage or celery and go green, both will lighten the space.

What wall color will brighten a kitchen that has a dark oak floor, medium oak cabinets with stainless steel appliances? There is not a lot of natural light. I can't use yellow, it covers every other wall in my house.

I love turquoise, the 1950s shade. (03/24/2009)

Sounds like a Tuscan gold would look very nice with dark and medium oak. (03/26/2009)

How about the Scandanavian look: blue, yellow, and white to perk up the room. Walls blue, yellow, and white curtains and/or accessories. (03/27/2009)

My kitchen is kind of campy. I have newer green countertops with like a marble mixture look to them. My cabinets are pine and I want to paint those white.
