Finding the right paint colors for your kitchen can be overwhelming with all the choices available. You can make the process easier by coordinating your interior painting with prominent fixtures like a countertop. Here’s how to use your countertops to find cohesive colors for your kitchen walls.

How to Match Paint Colors With Kitchen Countertops

1. Set the Tone

Start your selection process by figuring out your kitchen’s overall style based on existing countertops. For instance, if you have light-colored counters and you’re aiming for a clean, classical style, paint the walls and cabinets a light color to match. Beige, cream, and gray counters go well with muted wall colors or pastels.

2. Create Contrast

You can make the countertop your kitchen’s focal point by picking its contrasting color. For counters in white, cream, neutral, and beige, choose darker, vibrant shades like burnt orange, fire engine red, apple green citron, and navy blue to make your kitchen look lively. Similarly, select lighter hues for interior painting if your counters are on the darker end of the color spectrum. For the highest contrast possible, choose complementary colors, which are at opposite ends of the color wheel.

3. Add a Pop of Color

Add pizzazz to your kitchen interior painting with accent hues. If you have light-colored countertops, paint your molding, window sills and wall motifs with sunshine yellow, chartreuse, electric blue, or fuchsia to brighten up your kitchen. With patterned countertops, pick shades present in the flecks and turn them into accent colors.
