A nice white with a warm undertone is perfect for a cozy and welcoming kitchen. It is fresh and bright and fits any kitchen style. Whether it is modern, farmhouse, or transitional, be sure a white with a creamy touch will do the trick.
However, there is one thing to remember if you decide on this color. Let’s get into color theory so you can better understand it. A warm white has a yellow undertone, and shouldn’t be paired with cool-tone whites. Cool whites have a blue undertone, which gives them a crisp look. Make sure to use warm whites all over the kitchen to avoid clashing undertones. For example, the warm white cabinets will look yellowish if the countertop is a cooler white. But why does this happen? Yellow and blue are opposite colors in the color wheel, meaning that they are contrasting. When you place a warm white next to a cool one, the yellow undertone will be highlighted by the blue. Do you get it now? This can be applied to cabinet and wall paint. So next time your paint appears more yellow than the sample, you know the secret.

Do you hate your warm oak cabinets and want to give them an updated look? Light gray is the ultimate choice for many interior styles. It is also an optimal choice if you have a colorful backsplash and want a neutral that makes it stand out. Plus, you have a lot of light gray tones to choose from. But hey, how can grays be different? Gray colors can vary in depth and undertones, so you can pick the right choice for your space.

Do you want to go bold and bring your kitchen back to life? Then blue is the right choice for you. You can go for a beautiful deep blue to make it stand out and add a touch of personality. We really love how it looks with a butcher block countertop. But if you prefer a more elegant version, stick with navy blue. Get hardware in a brass or gold tone to achieve the high end look.

Dark gray is a sleek and refined choice for your kitchen. But how do you keep the space airy while having a dark paint color? This gorgeous kitchen is a great example of the successful implementation of charcoal, a moody dark gray that is almost black. First, the space has plenty of natural lighting to elevate the mood. Next, they opt for open shelving instead of upper cabinets to open up the space.

Are you up for the moody and bold vibes? Black is a refined choice that exudes elegance and uniqueness. But how to break down the look so it isn’t too dark? First, you should implement different textures that stand out. In this gorgeous kitchen, we can see how they used matte paint, stainless steel appliances, and concrete countertops. The combination of matte, shiny, and raw achieves the perfect harmony. The wooden floors add the right amount of warmth to balance the design, resulting in a moody yet welcoming kitchen.

And the final choice depends on the mood you want to achieve. Some of the great options by Benjamin Moore include Aegean Teal, Peacock Blue, Newburg Green, Calypso Blue, and Teal Ocean.

Cream is a classic kitchen cabinet color that brings warmth. However, it isn’t only reserved for the traditional styles. It perfectly fits the idea of a rustic and charming kitchen that gathers the whole family. We love how the cream cabinets complement the rustic wood table and rattan light fixture. It looks like the coziest spot to have breakfast or enjoy chit-chat while your home cook prepares the feast.

If your kitchen gravitates toward a modern style, stick with a crisp white. This paint color has cool undertones that complement sleek and refined spaces. As previously mentioned, be sure not to use colors with clashing undertones. And don’t forget that crisp whites can look different under different lighting conditions. So, it would be best to grab a paper sample of your chosen kitchen cabinet paint and bring it to your home. You can see how it looks in the specific lighting and other colors in the kitchen.
