You might want to continue in the same color, or in opposite- zone out the kitchen space with different color, however followed the color theory it should be matching and interior design style will be same as area to which kitchen is attached.

Kitchen cabinets- taking bigger part of kitchen and often being focal point of the kitchen should be the first part of the kitchen to choose color for.
Can kitchen cabinets be same color as walls?
Yes they can if you going for monochromatic design, however you might get tired from too much of the same color. It would be better to use various undertones of the same color.
Kitchen color walls not necessarily should be monotonic. Depending on interior style ornaments on the walls can be incorporated.
Countertops best is to keep neutral colors, not only because cutting colorful vegetables will look great on it, but also because neutral colors do not bother the eyes if look at them longer time and countertops of the kitchen are exactly long eye contact items when doing something in the kitchen. Also because of best materials to use for countertops such as granite, marble, quartz, concrete and stainless steel for their longevity (most of them come in neutral colors), you would be able easily refresh interior by changing color of other items without touching countertops.
