Cabinets, countertops, and flooring are often the focus of kitchen remodeling projects, but they can be complicated to install. However, a fresh coat of paint is all it takes to transform a kitchen, and it’s a stress-free process. If you want stunning results, stick to popular paint colors. These are proven to breathe new life into kitchens and will look great for years to come.

What Color to Paint Your Kitchen

1. Dark Blue

Dark blue is an ideal color for almost every room in the home, as well as the exterior. It achieves both a modern and classical feel and can create a calming atmosphere. This color works especially well on doors, kitchen islands, and when accented by white features. However, dark blues may clash with dark woods too much, so think about painting wood cabinetry a crème or other light color to contrast well.

2. Light Green

Pistachio, mint, pastel, and other light, soft greens can create a nature-like mood in the kitchen. They pair well with wood framing, flooring, or raw wood cabinets and shelves and can reflect light the way white paint does. Bold features, like smoky countertops, can clash with light green colors, so consider which elements in your kitchen will and won’t pair well.

3. White

White may not seem like a standout color, but it’s important to look at its design potential. Rustic kitchens, for example, use distressed white paint as their foundation. Kitchens with richly colored cabinets, dark granite countertops, or chevron-patterned wood floors all benefit from a white backdrop. It can showcase an accent wall or brighten a dark kitchen, so think about your creative goals and see how white can help you achieve them.

4. Black

While black paint may seem intimidating to work with, it’s a versatile option that’s perfect for modern, minimalist kitchens. Raw concrete floors, metal light fixtures, slab islands, and open designs will all benefit from black walls. Only shy away if you have a smaller kitchen or few windows, as black will only make the space feel smaller.
