The color is Silver Coffee Pot by Sherwin Williams. I posted about the color here.
I ended up doing all the painting. My husband kept saying he wanted to do it. He was adamant and I didn't push the issue til I couldn't stand it anymore. It worked out great. He's relieved to not have it on his honey-do list. He's thrilled with how good it looks (I cut in all but one wall without painters tape, thank you very much). And as for me - look out! I have some interesting paint plans for the future. Next up - our side entry.
I focused on one wall/area at a time. That turned out great. I cleaned like crazy as I went. OMG. I don't fry food, but you'd never know that from the build-up on my teapot/pitcher collection that was over this counter.
