We have NO context to help you.

Is the back splash staying?

What the heck are the floors?

Your question is a total mystery meat.

What's wrong with how they are? They are on trend. They are timeless. Paint will only make them a forever maintenance nightmare until the next owner rips them out and brings in wood cabinetry that will not be of this quality.

You are going to have to leave your comfort zone on this one. Walnut is "brown", you have "pink" as a counter top. I would suggest going with another version of the colours already in the room. you have gray/beige and white. I would hesitate going white...but it can be done. You can move into the grays and be very happy (it would look very modern) or you can move into a beige that holds a hint of pink in it (not pink...but a blush of warmth). Or you could go really wonky and add in something like a brushed stainless steel look to the cabinets and have it go "space age". There are specs of blue/gray in this counter top. The next think to look at is an "ashwood" or dark gray wood presentation that has some blue in it. It would lighten the space yet still add drama that dark cabinetry offers.

The color of walls of your kitchen completely depends on the color of your cabinet, but you can opt for white color as that color is plain simple and goes with any color cabinet. But in kitchen while making food there are many things like smoke, grease or staging of oil or masala can make the color of wall look dull and bad and it gets more dull after every cleaning, whereas by applying wallpapers, your kitchen will look much more younger than paint and wallpapers can also survive almost 10 years if maintained properly. A few wallpaper Ideas that i can suggest for your kitchen are:- Modern wallpaper - Modern wallpaper designs are not constrained by any particular patterns or fashions. A wallpaper pattern featuring exotic fruit or animals is just as likely to have a quirky lobster theme as it is. Other possibilities include 3D geometry, abstract florals, and odd ornamentation. The wallpaper will have more effect with modern furniture. Retro and vintage- When the kitchen walls are decorated with antique and retro patterns, a certain whimsy and nostalgia are added to the space, creating a really particular feeling. Flower Power themes, arty or modern designs from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, and large geometric patterns are characteristic for this. Brick and stone patterns- Materials used in country/historical kitchens over the years that are indestructible but also incredibly cosy haven't lost any of their attractiveness and function flawlessly in 21st-century kitchens. Stone appearance wallpaper styles, such as brick, sandstone, clinker, or even concrete, emanate a feeling of solidity and sturdiness while yet having the potential to seem completely modern when paired with the appropriate furnishings. Marble- Superior marble is the epitome of subtle elegance. The best option to realise gorgeous and glitzy kitchen decor ideas is with deceptively genuine, costly imitation marble wallpaper models. Marvelous effects are produced for walls by contemporary, inventive marble forms and colours. Tile Design- Numerous kitchen design ideas are derived from instances in nearby and distant other nations. These are only a few instances of the vast possibility offered by tile imitation wallpaper. Other possibilities include artistic Spanish Majolica-style tiles, oriental decoration tiles, Delft tiles from Holland, and Roman frescoes.

I also like your existing cabinets. I'd change the backsplash, though.

From the limited photos, I would change the floor and backsplash. Leave cabinets as is and add complimentary pulls/knobs.

Sorry i just read some of the rules for posting, im new in here and English is not my first language, i apologize, the floors are porcelain. You can see a little of the floor in the last two pictures. They already covered the floor because we are starting to work on the kitchen. I know wood is timeless but i am tired. I want something more modern. I am removing the countertops wich are granite and replacing them with quartz ( white with some grey veins)
I am also adding hardware to the cabinets still not sure if i should do silver or black matte. Anyway thanks for the input!

You pick your counter and match a white to it. That means you test the paint in your lighting in your own home. "White with some gray veining" There are about a thousand of those. Get a sample, go to a Benjamin Moore store.

I will say, unless you are a very experienced type? It is not a DIY project, so get a pro. Nobody can see the floor. At all

I love both the cabinets and your granite, but I am not a fan of quartz unless it is an ultra modern kitchen.

I like the cabinets as they are. They fit the kitchen perfectly. I dont mind the granite countertops, but, I am not fond of that granite backsplash. It would be nice to see what the floors are in there. Right now, we see them covered up with white paper and blue tape. Please do not ruin those beautiful cabinets with paint.

Instead of white to match the countertops (that can look ultra modern and somewhat sterile) use an intentionally contrasting color like a warm super light taupe with brass hardware https://njlovemk.live/product_details/40914802.html

You can see the contrasting wood in the picture looks similar to your wood. You don't have to paint ALL of the cabinets, you can select just the bases, or just the talls, or everything but the island. That way, you stay true to the wood, without having to feel overwhelmed by it.
