What color should I paint the laundry room?

Okay, I've taken on the endeavor of painting the all white laundry room, but I can't decide what color to paint it. It's "L" shaped. Approximately 8x14 at it's widest points. There are TONS of cabinets, all white with chromed pulls and black granite counter tops. The back splash is white subway tile and the floor is white 12x12 tiles. The washer, dryer and sink are also white. It's lit with fluorescent lights. This is a VERY stark feel to it and makes me think of being in the hospital, or that I've possibly died and am in a God's laundry room up in heaven, lol. So, and ideas? I don't want to go really dark, the room has now windows, so the it helps to have everything light.
Here's some more details:
The room is lit with fluorescent lights, the house is brand new, less than a year old.

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think this would be the perfect opportunity for you to experiment with a faux finish. SW has a color called "pipe dream" (# 7171) in its SoftSuede collection. If you try that in your laudry room & it looks good, then maybe you could try the same technique in other areas of your home.

You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
