I need advice
What color to paint the kitchen?
Our cabinets look like this, with a dark brown finish:

The countertop is this:

The appliances look like this:

and:

Nearby walls are grayish-blue, taupe, and a greenish-brown. So my dilemma is: do I play it safe with another drab neutral and then later maybe cover it with faux brick a la Monica's kitchen on Friends or do I paint it a real color (I'm leaning toward a masculine-y grayish-purple) and risk it looking really tacky and having my sister Sarah say, "I told you so" ? Please give your input.
On a related note, anyone who comes to help paint will be invited to one fabulous dinner cooked in above-pictured range. Mom....?

Sarah -- Your house will look gorgeous with whatever color you get. I inherited my second guessing from you. Thanks.
