Painting Kitchen with Light Blue Countertops

I have a newly designed kitchen with blue countertops (Sanded Marine by Staron). Currently the walls are painted a light blue. We're going to have the walls repainted, but can't decide on a color. The kitchen is part of an open floor plan where you can see the living room and dining room, both of which are painted a pumpkin/copper color. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yellow goes great with blue, either bright or creamy, and brown and beige, or tan also go nice with blue! (01/14/2010)

Taking into account all the colors that you mentioned, I was thinking like a creamy seashell tone. Blue - Ocean, Cabinet seemed like a dark sand tone. Take highlights of all the colors for the walls. (01/17/2010)

You need to stick with a light color because the tops of the countertops don't reflect light as they are a dark color. This will keep your kitchen bright and cheery instead of the 'cave' effect. (01/18/2010)

Thinking of both the counters and the other wall colors, I am thinking a light to medium yellow. Yellow and blue go together well and the warmth of the yellow will tie in with the warmth of the other wall colors. (01/18/2010)
