Creating a “red” kitchen?

My husband and I are in the process of buying a big fixer upper in a great neighborhood. I have all red small appliances in my kitchen (stand mixer, microwave, coffee maker) right now and I want to incorporate them into my new kitchen without overdoing the red. I want the kitchen to keep it’s vintage charm (built in 1897) without being too loud. What neutral paint/cabinet colors would look good with red appliances on the counters? How about large appliances? Thanks!

I would choose a toffee finish for the cabinets, a shade of golden paint (like “anjou pear” by Sherwin Williams, and stainless steel appliances.
