Kitchen colors-any opinions? (please)



So I am not personally fond of these colors, however my husband has a vision. Actually they aren't his favorite colors either, but our paint choices are limited to what he has on hand (from previous jobs and the paint that was left in the house) and occasionally he finds very cheap cans of mismatched tints that he buys. He has had this plan in his head for a while to paint the kitchen cabinets and chair-rail one color, below the chair-rail another color, and above the chair-rail another color. So the kitchen would actually be painted 3 colors total. The two greens on the cabinet door are the two he's considering for the cabinets/chair-rail. And of the three colors, I'm thinking they would basically have to go in that order-reddish maroon color on the bottom, to the lightest color on top. If the darkest color was on top I think the room would feel like a cave? (Ignore the dirty wall in the first picture, it's right above our trash can and stays dirty no matter how often I clean it). The middle color is actually a grayish green (it looks darker in the picture).
So......
1. do these colors go together ok?
2. Which of the two greens on top look better? (the left is almost a hunter green, the right is more like a green apple)
3. and which color looks better for the cabinets?
(Just for the record, I like my lavender kitchen, given a choice, I'd keep it. But I'm just asking for opinions on the paint because neither one of us is thrilled with the choices so we're trying to see what's other people think).
