Painting Kitchen Walls

As you will see from others posts and pictures, the majority of the cottage walls are painted in various shades of "Cream"....Almond White, Orchid White, Magnolia...so decided to be more adventurous in the kitchen...

I bought a few sample pots of matt emulsion and tried on the wall behind the kitchen door...

However, after they had dried to even darker shades..off I went to the paint stores to look again..and again!

I eventually decided on Sanctuary matt..Candlelight shade...yes, cream again!

I still have the chimney breast wall to paint..(too high for me to reach off the stepladder) so may eventually choose a contrasting shade for this wall....
