No-fail neutrals

Whatever the state of your kitchen, there's a color to make it five-star. On the menu: cabinet friendly neautrals.
::Cloudy Sky::
Walls in gray-blue are a made-in-heaven match for natural maple cabinets.
("Dusty Miller GLN38 by glidden.com)
::Dry Pasta::
Use on an accent hutch or on the walls with golden oak cabinets.
(Waterbury Cream HC-31 by benjaminmoore.com)
::Sage Leaf::
Pair standard-issue oak or cherry cabinets with soft green on the walls.
(Svelte Sage SW6164 by sherwin-williams.com)
::Stone::
This gray goes with virtually any cabinet finish; it looks incredible with walnut.
(Notre Dame 5006-1B by valspar.com)
::Cream::
A pretty not-quite-white, this is the color to fall back on - for either cabinetry or walls - when you can't make up your miind.

Thanks for this info. I had painted my cabinets, but they are now in need to be re-painted. It is so hard to pick colors! These colors sound really good.

I love neutrals. They warm things up with out making you too scared of a dark color.
