I am redecorating my kitchen. What is your opinion of what colors should be used?
Answers:
Hi There,
The colors that you pick should be determines by what is staying in your kitchen. You mentioned the countertop but nothing else. What about your appliances? are they staying? if so what color. How much natural light and how much additional light are in the room.
If the room is somewhat dark you will probably want to stay in the lighter color range if not you will have a lot more choices.
Pick colors that will cordinate well with what will be staying in the room. Also before commiting to the colors you pick take samples and place them in the kitchen where they will be used. Sometimes they look a great deal different in your hand or in the store than what they will look like where you will be using them
Good luck

when I redid my kitchen I did a French Provencial theme-yellow walls--deep blue and yellow fabric from France with black olives & lemons on it....black wrought iron plate racks on walls, it is cheery and bright.
i love white cabinets with black marble counter tops and bright red walls. black tile floor with black grout, and stainless steel appliances. that would look awesome! and paint all the trims white.
brown-biege-yellowish
i saw one that was done on tv (that show get color or something like that) and the main color in the room was a warm red. like chili peppers. it was great.
A soft yello, like the color of cooked corn, with a Blue border
I really don't want to offend you, but first of all you give no details. Second,,,there won't be any right or wrong answers here only personal choices and opinions,,,which hopefully you have on your own?
It's YOUR place,,,you have to live in it,,,,Hopefully, comfortably. Choose, or make your decisions based on what YOU like. Whai i like, what others here may like, might not be at all what YOU like?
The GOOD news is PAINT can always be PAINTED OVER.

yellow or beige for a kitchen.
Black and cream Toile is easy to live with. I have green granite countertops. I love that look.
I would use bright, happy colors like yellow or a pastel green.
I am a decorating consultant. I am not sure your though what your style is. Do you like:
Tropical- go golds, deep reds, and rich warm woods and rattan.
Casual- toiles, creams, black and beige, painted furniture, roosters, etc
Contemporary- anything goes as far as color, clean looks though
Classic- rich jewel tones, nice metals, florals etc.
What color green is your countertop?
There are some useful tips here.
I think cream would look nice with the green counter tops and brighten it up. Make sure you sand and use a good primer before you paint the cabinets or it won't stay on.
