The kitchen is the heart of the home, and we spend a major part of the day there. It is the most challenging task to decide kitchen cabinet painting colors whether you are modeling the whole kitchen or you are just renewing your cabinets. In a new kitchen, the backsplash, countertops, island and other accessories can be molded on the cabinet color choice. When renewing the kitchen cabinets, keep in mind the existing color scheme of the kitchen.

When choosing a color scheme for the kitchen cabinets, keep these recommendations in mind to get a wow effect. There are seven shades in the spectrum. Choose a basic color scheme or go outrageous with every possible shade of blue, green, red or yellow and there are infinite colors in between. Shake up a neutral background with a blob of color on cabinets when you paint your kitchen cabinets.

Blue

When blue is you, there are as many shades of blue as there are drops in an ocean. Yeah! It might seem like an exaggeration but believe it. Bring out positive vibes with kitchen cabinet painting done in blue. It can be teal, aquamarine or simply watercolor blue. Border the blue with greens to take inspiration from the oceans, blue sky, and nature. When the kitchen is south facing, it will receive a lot of sunlight and will look vibrant in a bold blue color. If it gets less light, then go for pastel colors on walls and bright blues for kitchen cabinet painting. Blue with chocolate is a timeless combination. Blue cabinets can be accentuated with one or two chocolate colored decorative pieces or handles. To keep the look classic yet modern, go monochrome by a paler blue on the walls and a medium blue on the cabinets.

Yellow

Give an instant facelift to your kitchen with the warmth of sunshine yellow. If the kitchen faces north or there are not as many windows, then a buttery yellow dash on cabinets will pick up the most mundane mood. Be sure to add a sparkle of white to break the monotony. Imbue your kitchen with a sunny aura of golden yellow on kitchen cabinets with solid beige on countertops and some lime green on the backsplash.

Black

You cannot go wrong with black. The intimidating black is easily overpowered by sand colored countertops and bronze knobs to create a royal look. Partner a Halloween black kitchen cabinet painting with blue-gray hardware and stools. Or simply bring in drama with a lacquered shining black finish on cabinets to reflect off the light.

Red

Jazz up your kitchen cabinet painting with red. The color red on the cabinets screams “look at me” as the white countertops and stainless steel appliances are going to make you the talk of the town. Add character and life to the island by painting the kitchen cabinets pink or soft coral. Dark red can add pizzazz but remember dust is more visible on dark surfaces that means more cleaning. Alternately choose a milder red or coral.

Green

Green is a color that gels well with nearly every color. The earthy hue creates a welcoming, casual feel and the look is further enhanced by dark accents such as dark wood or black countertops and knobs. Metal accessories help to create a rugged interior when paired with apple green cabinets. Kelly green on cabinets can give a soothing tropical look, and a coral splash can keep it from being overwhelming. Sage green tone on cabinets can present a glistening effect while invoking both warmth and coolness.

Gray

Kitchen cabinet painting done in gray is sure to give inspiration for another award-winning book. Gray might sound like a dull color but gray brings an air of serenity, wisdom, and touches of yellow will bring out the effects. The natural tones of deep, rich gray on cabinets can be highlighted by stainless steel and chrome accents for an openly inviting kitchen.

Orange

When you think orange, the image of juicy citrus comes to mind. Choose orange to paint your kitchen cabinets for a refreshing look. The warmth of orange on cabinets can be contrasted with icy or powder blue and cream white tones on walls and backsplash.

White

Classic and crisp white goes well with everything and imparts an air of peace and calm. It also gives a clean and airy look to the kitchen. Snow white or creamy white is a futuristic choice if the lighting is low or space is small. A paperwhite or a cloud white is going to make your work in kitchen breezy.

Go for the color which makes you happy!
