It is called Eau de Nil - the waters of the Nile. In the 30s of the last century, walls were painted like this not only in England, but throughout Europe. If two housewives met on the street and said: Eau de Nil! - everyone immediately understood what was at stake.

If not out of fashion, then from memory - for sure. The blue and white kitchen is exactly like that. The simplest: the blue bottom is the white top. But if the space is quite large, you can take on more bold variations: diagonal compositions or solid blue facades with traditional tiles for a slice and rustic rough wood. Whatever you come up with, you will still get one of the most respectable and "expensive" combinations, not so much at a price as per perception. 
4. "Mad Orange" and cobalt
Van Gogh's favorite combination, bold, joyfulAnd warm: a sunflower against the blue sky and green grass. But if you are far from painting, with the shape and size of the flower you need to be more careful. A very good example - orange walls, white furniture and blue-green decorative accents.

But it is also possible in combination with white tiles, for example, and a dark tree. 
5. Copper with cream

Over time, its layer will become thicker, and there will be no trace of shine. However, many people like this effect.

It is very interesting in such interiors look dark spans of windows and black or orange plastic lamps. 
8. Coral, white and bright green
The exceptionally rare combination that came inInterior from the exterior, that is, from landscape design - this is the prevalent color ratio in the rosaries.
