Before the kitchen is entirely finished, we (meaning Kathy) wanted to paint. It's easier to paint before everything's installed because you don't have to reach behind all the appliances and you don't have to worry about dripping on your new cabinets.
On the other hand, it can be risky to start painting before the construction is complete because it might get bashed up. We went for the latter option.
The kitchen is green and the laundry room is yellow. (We haven't decided on the bathroom yet.) We chose green for the kitchen because it's always been green before. When we took out three layers of flooring (cf.) they were all green. And the hand-painted cabinets were green. Finally, there's green in the stained-glass window over the sink.
The same rationale led us to choose yellow for the laundry room. It had a green floor like the kitchen, but the glass in the door is yellow and blue. We eliminated blue as a choice, so it was yellow by default. Counting the contrasting ceilings, that's four colors of paint. Plus primer. We went through a lot of brushes and rollers.
