What color to paint ole oak cabinets to match new yellow walls?

I really prefer white cabinets. They go with everything!! Painting cabinets isn't something that you want to do all that often, so white is a great option to have for years. HERE IS my son's kitchen with white cabinets, it's a contemporary farmhouse style. HERE IS my last 100 year old house with white cabinets, it is definitely antique style with wood floors, stainless appliances and collectibles.

Various shades of blue go really well with yellow, and blue is often used in rustic style decor. Another popular color is a soft green, either bright like new-sprouting leaves or a darker sage green. I've seen kitchen cabinets in both colors, and they were very attractive. The benefit of paint is that you can get exactly the shade you want. Try getting those little sample bottles (I know Lowe's sells them) and try them in your kitchen, if not on the cabinets, on a couple of white cardboards taped to the cabinet doors. For ideas, do a search for kitchen colors online, go to the websites of the "House" magazines--lots of great pictures. I just did a search for "country kitchens colors" and got lots of hits.

Good luck!

I think a soft white,I’m not a fan of yellow walls, prefer a light cream.

I would stay with Whites - but make sure it's a white that works well with the yellow wall color. If you are brave/daring you could do Red :)

My vote is also for white cabinets. But not stark white, more like a cream color. That would go well with the walls.
