Not sure if this is the right place for this question but didn't know where else to ask it.
My kitchen is Black,White and Chrome.At the moment, the walls and ceiling are white as I cannot decide which colour to put on them.Didn't want anything bold i.e red, put a nice pastel shade as the kitchen is small and not very light.Any ideas welcome.

Best keep the ceiling white, or it will just make the room feel smaller.

Are you sure about not wanting red? You could do just one or two walls and the rest white?

I like this one:

I like the green!!

Also I would suggest a pale yellow.

Look at the amount of colours they have, this is really hard wearing tough paint, I used the 'first dawn' one and really liked it too (blue)

Thanks for sending me the link weeal and max.
I will take a good look and think about it.Funnily enough I was thinking of Jade or Duck egg but I am tempted by red. The other colour I had in mind was pale lilac but not sure if it would be suitable for a kitchen?
Question Author
Thanks funnygirl but I have Pale green and lemon in my bedroom so didn't want the same in the kitchen.I also have First Dawn in the bathroom so really would like something different.
On their website, they have a tool that lets you create and visualize your room!

Gonna have some fun with this max.I looked at the Dulux site and didn't spot this.Thanks.
So, have you decided on a colour? I'm a bit sad, I know.....lol
Peach walls and a white ceiling. Amazingly peach goes with most things.

Always good to go with neutral. Even a wipeable wallpaper which incorporates black, white and silver which is what I have done
Question Author
Thanks for all your interest, I am now totally spoilt for choice.I think the best thing for me to do is to get some sample pots and even look at wallpaper which I hadn't considered before.Sorry max I think it will be a long time before I decide as I have made so many mistakes in the past but I do appreciate all your help everyone.
