Select a color that will compliment the counter tops and or floor.
We had the same issue and selected a shade in the beige line from the floor tiles and counter top. It turned out extremely nice. Our woodwork is also all white so we hve a great contrast between the floor and walls with the white wood trim.

When we moved into our house we had white cabinets in the kitchen with a nasty peachy color on the walls and ceiling. After some consideration I decide to paint my kitchen walls a color called Cracker Bitz it's a nice warm color and I found it at Lowe's. The ceiling I painted white and I made curtains in a fabric that had a similar color as the walls in the background but also had reds, blues and greens. I then carried those colors as my accents throughout my kitchen. For example potted herbs, and artwork. My stainless appliances even look good with it.

Well you have a blank canvas to work with, so I would choose my favorite colors. What is pretty in a kitchen would be a peach, soft celadon green, beige/gold color, maybe using white enamel on the woodwork for contrast. Those colors are easy to live with on an every day basis. Bring home paint chips from a good paint store, such as Benjamin Moore paints, see what you like, and paint the room in a semi gloss for washability. It will look fabulous I assure you. Then buy accessories to go with what color you have chosen. Also for your window, a lovely valance by Waverly. Look up waverly.com Good Luck

Color & pattern of your floor? That'll help you narrow down your choices & whether you want a modern, bold look or a more old-fashioned, neutral or pastel look....
Also, stand in various spots & look around with 'stranger's' eyes' ..... Check adjoining walls & at walls in other rooms that can be easily seen from various vantage points in your kitchen & pick something complementary or contrasting, depending upon your tastes!

Unless you are into a very bold looking room, I would go for something slightly on the subtle side - very light tangerine, green, or yellow fit in with the "kitchen" environment the best.
It all depends on your tastes though, and remember - nothing is permanent :) Good luck !

I would go for the Mexican theme. I lot of yellow, orange and blue would look great in that room. It would really set off the cabinets and these color and accessories are readily available.

Sand or a Creme Brulee' works well with white cabinets and high gloss white trim.

I think mint green and pastel purple is beautiful together. They play well off of each other and I think it brings color into the plain white cabinets.

Depends on your style...Modern you can do a bright crisp color like bright red, or bright green.
Country you can do a warm yellow, or soft blue.
If you are more traditional you can do a khaki or a deep red or blue.
I hope this helps.
