Yellow is definately your color to go with green. there are different shades of yellow go to the paint store and find a really light yellow color. or a beige or almond color neutral colors are going to work here as well eggshell. – good luck

A very light green may be nice, or there is a product that you can get to paint the tile if you want a change. Check with your local home improvement store.

I think a light tan similar to the flooring should be used for the walls.
You probably do not want to introduce a large amount of another color since you already have a few colors going on…Dk green, lt green, tan, white, dk brown cabinets.
This way you are creating a neutral background and can then use a few pieces of decoration in an accent color of your choice.
Most shades of red will work, some shades of yellow, even some shades of lavender/violet might work with the colors you have.
Use the accent color/s on rugs, blinds, pottery, vase of flowers, pictures, etc. A picture or two that has all the colors in the room in it work well in tying it all together.
I usually use Olympic 0 VOC interior latex satin or eggshell paint. Satin would work best in a kitchen. Good cleanability. About $21. a gallon
