Painting the Top and Bottom Cabinets Different Colors?

Cabinet doors and drawers painted a deep blue.I did a grey paint wash on the kitchen floor, the walls are painted a grey, it's so hard to see it all, but the counter top is a natural wood slab, blue is my favorite color so I did the bottom cabinets using a few different techniques. Now I am doing the top ones in a grey lighter than the blue, but as dark as I can to set them apart some from the walls. It is a large kitchen with full sun all day.

My problem now is I can't get the shadowing to look right. I have to keep in mind the varnish makes it pop, what if I did a just grey with wood distressed on the top and had not used the same shadowing? I have designed and painted this myself and am now freaking on how it will look in the end!

I would go with an off white . More like beige or tan and you could add a little light gray to it .
I would definitely do a light color .

Ok, a light color, solid or distressed like the blue? Would it look strange if they were not the same ? When I did the shadowing on the blue is was easy but the grey is not looking right?
