| Hi all,
We bought our first home a few years ago (1940's cape) and are about to have a kitchen gut and remodel done starting next week. We are super nervous! My wife is the designer between us ... she picked out some great materials. However, we are stuck and having a hard time picking out a paint color. Any and all suggestions would be MUCH appreciated! (we're clueless on the backsplash too but one step at a time I guess!) Here are some specs: - small cape kitchen (W:10" x L:13")
Here's pictures of the material types we are putting in: |

| Love the cabinet colors! Hard to tell from the screen, but I see 2 easy choices for the paint color that come out of your granite. One is to pick up on the grayed down bluish green...kind of like BM province blue or pick up on those warmer golden beige tones like BM yosemite sand Of course you'd have to check for exactly the right shades in real life....hard to see on the screen. |

| Your choices so far look awesome together. Do you have to paint first? Annie has suggested two good colors, but I'd be inclined to wait until everything else is in before deciding on a cool or warm shade. |

| In our former house we had Verde Peacock granite that is similar to the Verde Butterfly. We tried paint in the green color wheel and it was awful. We stayed with more neutral tones and let the stone and cabs be the focal points. |

| I also have peacock green and maple cabinets. We have a Ben Moore Affinity color called Spendor. I had it in my previous kitchen which was a medium oak and did not like it. I had planned to paint the kitchen when we did the reno,but it looked great with the new cabinets and granite. So, we did the same color. I get lots of compliments on it. |

| thanks guys for all the suggestions I just got off the phone with our GC and he said the painting will be the last step so we will be able to make the decision once everything is up I should have mentioned that the room itself does not get much natural light either |

| I have a very similar granite in my bathroom with cherry cabinets. I strongly considered yosemite sand,(Actually used that in my hall bath and its lovely)--- but in my bath with the similar granite, I used Putnam Ivory which is a true true tan. I love it. |
