what colour walls with green Smeg fridge

[mabelbabel]

We have a pale green Smeg fridge, and we are trying to choose a pale blue or duck egg or grey/grey-blue colour for the walls. Any suggestions? I hoped dusted moss would be perfect, but testers look dull on the wall. Sunny, south-facing room. Help?

Will watch with interest as I've just taken delivery of your fridges poorer cousin

Its much paler than it looks here and I was thinking maybe a sort of sludgy bluey greyish kind of colour, just can't decide.

Lots of different images here to get inspiration from.

Seems to be overwhelmingly in favour of white walls, which lets the mint green smeg fridge stand out. You could always go for white walls and then maybe a backsplash tile in a similar colour to the smeg to tie it together?

Or else if you're set on a colourful wall, how about a light mint green, a shade or two lighter than the Smeg?

I'm v jealous though, love those fridges!!

Really depends on the rest of your kitchen really?? - but personally if your kitchen is light enough & your units & work tops allow it, I would be going with a true grey - if not, I agree with white, or if you like colour, maybe lemon - I doubt the greens you mention will work well

Well, most of the pictures online show white walls, but the room in general is going to be more pastel, so I think the white walls would look too much (kitchen-diner, so quite a lot of wall!).
Cabinets are a creamy colour, worktops will be grey pale, floor will be wood-effect with bluey/grey tones in it. Tiles will be mostly cream, but with some green tiles which go with the fridge.
We've tried a few testers on the wall now, and actually the pale blue colours work quite well, but I really don't want a room which is overtly BLUE.
The best compromise we've found so far is 'pale duck egg' from Laura Ashley. It has blue tones in it, but is quite light. I'll let you know how we get on.

Is Dusted Moss Dulux? Nice, I got that swatch but ended up with Little Green intelligent paint but any french grey type shade is good, personally I would go for a warm grey with greenish tones not a cool/duck egg? but maybe I'm not thinking of the right green... otherwise white :)
