You could really do almost anything Heather as far as paint goes.

I did an apple green (like a granny smith apple?) but all of the greens are very "in" right now... sagey tones, blue greens, even greys with a tinge of blue or green. Also, yellow tones are always beautiful in a kitchen - and will bring out the warm colors of your wood. It's really just whatever you like and what you feel sort of "flows" with the rest of your home.

I've even seen people do a grey or a beige and it look beautiful. Then you can add your color with all of your accents: towels, appliances, etc. That could make it easier for you to switch up.

Also, greens and yellows can be considered neutrals so you can still use accent colors with them as well. So have I made your even more confused?!?

I am a big supporter of the no VOC paints. Their color choices are not as abundant as say Benjamin Moore, but they still have plenty to choose from. I think a very soft green would look good with the wood, black combo you are planning to use. Do you have Home Depot near you? That's where we got our Freshaire Paint.
Thanks C I have a Lowes and Home Depot about 1/2 hour from me so no problem there. I actually found a paint at Lowes that had low odor. It was great. I will check your suggestion out too.

I love any shade of green so thats awesome. I like the idea of doing neutral and dress it up with accesories. I was getting to "theme-y" Like right now its sunflowers in the kitchen. To the point where everyone I know buys me sunflower EVERYTHING!! Major overload. I want just nice and clean looking. Simple looking....

I would do a sage green or a blue/green. Something light and would easily go with anything the new owners may pick out. (I am personally leaning towards the sage green for my kitchen)
