Kitchen paint

I'm going to Home Depot tonight to look at some colors. I was thinking orange and yellow with green accents. This is a small pic of my kitchen, I was going to use the orange against the cabinet walls and the yellow on the opposite side of the room, which is the next pic..

The opposite side:

Any thoughts? Or suggestions?

Are you going for bold colors?

Yeah, sort of. Right now the side of the cabinets is butter cookie and the other is green tea. Which I heart, but apparently the others in my building have copied my color scheme. We're all family and I'm on the third fl-so now I have people coming to my house saying "you have the same colors as so and so" I think to myself no, I don't-they copied me. I had it first-arrgh

I want to change it up-kinda like a salsa, saucy kitchen. Like get colored plates and mugs.  DH says its gonna look like a mexican restaurant.

Hmm. I might flip the orange and the yellow, unless you really want your cabinets to stand out against the orange. It's just my pref, though. I think bright colors in the kitchen are great. People tend to congregate in kitchens during parties, so why not make it a bright, comfortable space? If you're happy with it, go for it.

Flip the orange and yellow.  You want a color that will reflect more light surrounding the cabinets.  Plus, finding the right orange that wouldn't clash with the cabinets might be tough.

It sounds good though!

I like that color combo for your kitchen. I do agree with flipping. If you google yellow and orange walls/kitchen and click on images you can get a few ideas (be forwarned, you'll have to weed through a bit of them!).

Please post pics when done!  I'd love to see the end result!

We went for bold in our kitchen as well. We painted it Hunting Coat Red (Ralph Lauren paint). It really made our light cabinets pop and gave me a great canvas for funky accessories. It also looks really good with my stainless stuff as well.

We decided to go with Peach butter ( a very rich yellow) against the cabinets and Aurora Orange for the dining room. We won't paint until next month.
