It does not matter what color palette you decide to have, your kitchen should get as much light as possible. Having a good lighting will make a small kitchen feel spacious. Aside from the lights installed under your kitchen cabinets that help brighten up your shadowy countertops, you can also go for a natural light. Perhaps, you can install a large window that allows the light to go in.
