Colour for my dark cottage kitchen to match blue tiles etc

[markfleet]

Hi,

My first post so hope I have posted this in the correct place.

I havent been in my house long and am about to start re-decorating the kitchen. What I am not sure on is what colour to choose. The reason why I am stuck is because:

-The room doesnt get much natural light. There is only one window which goes to our courtyard that is very enclosed.

-It needs to go ok with White units, blue tiles, wooden kitchen tops, beams, brick etc.

Please see below pictures:

Any ideas? I had chosen Farrow & Ball's elephant breath but not sure if its a good choice.

Assistance is greatly appreciated.

Well it's a complete hotch-potch at the moment. The yellow has to go, and as you suggest, a neutral is needed. EB is a great colour, but if it is dark in there, maybe skimming stone would be better. Colours look much bolder on the wall than on the colour card. Little Greene do a nice range too. Keep it neutral and you can't go wrong.
