i agree with lighting trends on the peach ,here are a couple of palettes to choose from note your lighting will accentuate the mood and can give the hue you want , but definitely go for a neutral , the colours are from sherwin williams, benjamin moore , behr , and kelly moore

Thanks!!! That looks lovely...!! Unfortunately the white counter wont work for the kitchen im planning - abundant turmeric in Indian cooking precludes any soft colour.. Went out today and got myself a black countertop with white veins (I HATE granite), and am now planning white shutters to go with it instead of the grey... Any other thoughts? Am not mulling over the backsplash...

Hello dopcam, Compliments ! Its a great open kitchen. Please see if you like Century Almond Ivory 127 LU and Graphite Grey 238 LU combination. It will look awesome in this kitchen. As the sink is on the right wall it's not recommended place for an island. You may see if you like a standalone island . Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore
