It&#039;s funny you are asking this because my mother painted her kitchen cabinets a sea foam green a few years ago! Her kitchen walls she painted a turquoise so it was more of a monochromatic color scheme. I thought that looked nice. If you are looking for color schemes, you should read my article about how to create flow in home design. That will help you pick colors that look cohesive across multiple rooms of your house.

Thanks for the comment!

					<description><![CDATA[I loved reading this! Thank you. I am about to paint my den a very light sea foam green. Sorta turquoise but more green than blue. What I want to do is find the complimentary color to that and paint my kitchen walls. What I&#039;ve come up with is coral, but hubby ain&#039;t having that. Any thoughts? Also wondered what you thought about color paint on the cabinets?]]></description>

Christina, I&#039;m sure this is not what you want to hear, but I would say it will be difficult to create turquoise out of grey blue. This is because you&#039;re starting with the wrong base. A grey base is in the tone family and a turquoise&#039;s base should be in the bold family. Learn more about color families here: https://www.welcome-to-the-woods.com/how-to-create-flow-in-home-design/. For turquoise, you need blue + lime green, or bright sky blue + green. Perhaps you can visit your local household hazardous waste facility and look for brighter, bolder colors to mix together there?]]></description>
