That is so hot.
Re: white/black kitchen paint, one thing I can say for sure is that, if you paint the walls a mid/deep blue, something with high color saturation, the white tile of your cabinets will look sparkling clean no matter how much crap is on them. I have a friend who painted their (really disgusting old run down white tiled NYC should be a condemned tenement) bathroom some slightly purplish mid blue, and it was the cleanest looking bathroom I've ever seen.
Bright yellows will make your kitchen sunny as hell, no matter how icky the weather, but may look odd with cool, light pickled wood cabinets. Also, if there is enough black there, you may think "bumble bee" every time you go in.
Terra cottas may be too earthy with what sounds like a non-earthy set of built-ins.
I would lean towards mid-strong blues, greens or reds. A nice strong leaf green could be lovely (and I've always thought a nice green kitchen would encourage me to eat vegetables). And deep reds don't need to be primary-ish - think cranberry, which would have cool undertones to coordinate with the cabinets (and also encourage that "clean by color design" effect I mentioned above) or even burgundy or brick.
RT: "Buffy: the Vampire Slayer" would be the way to go if "the Vampire Slayer" is descriptive ("Cimmaron: Stallion of the Crappy Disney Movies"). But I think it may be more like a title ("Pepin the Short" "Alfred the Great" "George the Dragon Killer") even if only meant to informally or sarcastically highlight the difference from other Buffies ("Pitt the Younger").
