I would go for terracotta and mustard (dark) yellow. Keep wood in elderly houses white or magnolia/off white, if you are not stripping it. Sounds grim I know, but it works. Blue is very cold and even colder matched with bright yellow. You need nice autumnal colours in mellow shades to relax and warm the feel of the room. Keep lighting in the kitchen bright. I have a blue daylight bulb in mine as it gives off a white light. (good for bathrooms too). Why not get some match pots and experiment with the colours before committing.
