If you're going white, use the Natural white of the walls. Nothing jars the eye as much as mismatched whites. Sounds lovely

Love your focal timber! Take a couple of sample pots, pop some paint on A3 paper, and stick them around until you are happy... but try Dulux Wentworth (dark, rich blue-almost- black) namadji (grey palette) or even wayward grey (charcoal, with some hint of yellow/green in it somewhere... could make the timber sing. ) If you are worried about it getting too dramatic or overwhelming, one possibility is to use two colours on your cabinet. Have the uppers in a light shade and lowers in dark, or one "block" in a strong colour and the remainder more neutral . Both approaches can be really effective. (Look at Tilly's kitchen for a strong/neutral success story!)

also consider different lighting as warm and cool light globes can have an impact on the perceived colour of paints and i would prefer cool white paint and lights
