The floor is slate blue. The cabinets are honey oak. Counters are off white. What color for the walls? |
Can you post a picture ? |
Floors are slate? Or painted slate blue? In trying to picture it... |
I'm thinking beachy. What about a seaglass green. |
how about a light yellow?

The floors are slate colored, not actual slate. They look like this:

Blue or green. When the floor color isn't a neutral, you need find a way to tie in the color with the rest of the room. I agree about going with a beachy theme. |
The picture is beautiful. A light buttery color would look real nice. |
I think this is a photo from a Chicago condo? |
The photo isn't my kitchen, but the floor looks similar to mine. |
If it has a door, you don't have to worry about clashing with the furniture or wall colors in the dining room. Then I'd go with a buttery yellow or beachy colors like sea green or sea/sky blue, as other suggested.
For an open floor plan, I'd look in the dining room and pick a color that would lead the eye to the dinner table. Guessing that your home has a window similar to the photo you provided with an open floor plan, I'd go with light blue to lead the eye through the room toward the window and the view. |

I'd brighten things up with a bright apple green. |
you could try a darker blue to contrast the warm cabinets:

I would paint the cabinets white first with Annie's Chalk Paint (and annie's wax after that). Then, I would paint. I think a mustard yellow or Behr caterpillar color (green) would work. It's easy to match white and blue. You could go neutral and do like a powell buff. |
