Lessen the Look of Yellowed White

Question:

My bathroom has grey marble bathtub, shower, and vanity, with wood trim. The marble is yellowed from smoking. Is there a color of paint for the walls that will make the yellow less obvious? We are also getting new tile, not sure how to coordinate the two and help minimize the yellow.

Kitchen Hinge Hassle

Question:

I have just purchased my first home and am in the process of refinishing my kitchen cabinets. I am wondering if there is a way to paint the hinges on the cabinets (they are an odd shape) - they are a very dark color and my new knobs and pulls are silver.. I have read that they can be removed, cleaned, and spray painted with paint for metal, but wanted to confirm that this is actually true before I start spraying!

I also plan on painting my kitchen a grey like Grey Owl by Benjamin Moore, with the cabinets a very very light, almost white-grey. Any suggestions for fun accent colors?

Thanks!

Question:

My kitchen has terracotta floors, and currently the walls are also a terracotta color. I'd love to make a change, but what would be a good wall color to go with such a bold floor?
