3 You need something warm. A khaki tan or even a shade of a similar color to the family room would be nice I think. Think of a navy blue jacket with tan pants or a gold pinstripe on a navyblue suit.
Nice! .
Look around your kitchen. See if there is a vase or accessory that you love. Look at the colors on it and see if one of them is a color you love and would pick to paint the kitchen.
Having what and black allows you to pick most colors. The wood goes with most colors also so you could pick a color in the palate that you like. Home Depot has a site you can vitually paint and see how things look.
I always play with this first. Benjamin Moore has the same thing. I would just pick the palate that I like and then bring home some of the shades to see which one goes best in the different lights of your kitchen.
Tans would go well but may be a little boring. Grays would be fine and might work best with the blues your are trying to bring out.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
