Unfortunately, when buidling our home, we decided on pink/gray countertops and pink/purpleish/gray lanolium.
I would like for my kitchen "theme" to be grapes. I have a clock with purple and green grapes…kind of Italian looking.
We have vaulted ceilings. We also have plant ledges that I am planning on putting grapes with the vines along.
I want the house to be ready for resale, as we aren’t living here forever. But, I also want something that isn’t just the drab tan color.
play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I totally understand why you wouldn’t want to do a boring builder’s beige. But take a look at a color called "gourd" (# 7159) from their SoftSuede faux finish collection. It’s actually in the yellow family, but muted & the suede texture will give it a unique sophistication.
You can also take a photo of your room & upload it to the makeover gallery on Roomvues dot com:

You can get color suggestions & they’ll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

I would go pale. A nice light yellow would be nice but that is my opinion only. The rest of the house would go pale also.

Gold and purple will look good together ,you will have the colours of Tuscany . The Pink will eventually blend in with the purple since it’s from the same colour wheel

I would stay away from a dark color – I’ve heard that white sells the best, but that’s kinda boring. I would go with a really light purple or grey… probably leaning more towards grey. If you are planning on reselling soon, go with something more conservative.

I’d go with an earth tone, a medium brown may look OK. But get some poster paper of different colors and hang them up one or two at a time and see if these colors coordinate with existing colors. One good thing about any paint job…it can always be repainted. Have fun with it!…
