We just installed emeral pearl granite counter top. With the pure white cabinet, it is very striking. I am wondering what color should I paint the wall to look more calm and serene.

Thanks,

What color will your window treatments and artwork be? The wall color has to be tied all together.

I attached a picture. The counter top is called Emerald Pearl, the back splash is a neutral color. I do not want to change them, except paint the wall to make the kitchen a look warmer. I am not very good at decorating, so I really appreciate your help. Thanks.

I think something to coordinate with your backsplash and make your cabinets pop would be nice. A warm neutral like
[SIZE=3]Macadamia by Sherwin Williams [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]would be nice or maybe Latte by them as well.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Good luck![/SIZE]

There's a cool "visualizer" on the Glidden website:

www.glidden.com

Just click on the "color" tab, then click on "color visualizer". Hope this helps!
