I think the same color yellow as your wall would look pretty.Make sure you use an enamel paint (or waterborne alkyd paint) although the chalk paint may work out without priming which would be a big plus.I was at a friends house last night,she had her cabinets painted a light green and they looked gorgeous.I also like painting certain cabinets in a different color,it looks like built in furniture pieces,I am seeing that trend a lot.

I have no clue! I am trying to figure out what to do with my own cabinets.

I also have pale yellow walls and want to paint the REALLY dark wood cabinets. I chose yellow a shade lighter than the walls and a pale green in the same range.. I want to paint the cupboards green, the doors and drawer fronts yellow and then stencil them with the green to tie it all together. I love green but am trying to keep it in check :-) I think yellow and white would be very attractive too! Keeps it airy and light.

Is your kitchen open to other areas? Do you see your family room, or dining area from the kitchen? If so, maybe a color that would flow with the other areas? Depending on your preference, yellow is such a cheery color and looks beautiful with so many other colors. Maybe a photo or two if you have one?

Go with white and accent with colour.

WHITE for sure, clean and crisp and will not clash.

Since you have white appliances, go with white cabinets on the bottom and do the green up top. By using white with the appliances, you have a "continuous" look that is not broken up by the appliances.

How about white cabinets on the bottom and pale gray on top? BTW, what color are the countertops?

I would go an olive green with a medium brown glaze in the crevices (if you have any, not sure of the style of your cupboards

blue yellow and white are traditional French country colors and look great together.

Perhaps the upper cabinets could be white and the bottom cabinets Grays Harbor from Sherwin Williams. See Domestic Imperfection for a kitchen in those colors with yellow accents. It is beautiful.
