mom doesn't believe me

She thinks painting the future kitchen walls gray won't look good or will look too dark or something. She thinks I should go with something like a beige. I can't trust her, she used to think black and pink couches were hot (in her defense everyone around that time did).

I can understand my mom thinking it might be too dark or something but come on... I'm painting the kitchen cabinets WHITE and my dining table will be WHITE and the only few black things I have are my appliances. And the other color will be YELLOW so I think its safe to say painting the walls like the color in this picture won't make it that dark... especially since I have plans to have bright, light colors dominating the rest of the kitchen.
