What are the most popular kitchen cabinet paint colors?

This is a question I see quite often. It’s no surprise though, kitchen cabinets are a major part of a kitchen and you of course want them to look the best they can. I get it! I’ve been there.

Painting your outdated kitchen cabinets is a fantastic way to give them a new life. If they are in good shape, why not? Painting your cabinets is the best way to update your kitchen without taking on a full renovation.

So you know you want to paint your kitchen cabinets, but what paint color should you choose?

Who better to ask about the most popular kitchen cabinet paint colors than non-other than the cabinet painting experts? At WOW 1 Day Painting, we do paint our fair share of cabinets and I am going to share the most popular paint colors customers go for. However, I wanted to talk with someone who exclusively paints kitchen cabinets, a true expert in the matter.

I decided to reach out to the very talented, expert cabinet painter, Bethany from My Reclaimed Cottage to find out what paint colors are most popular among her clients.

As expected, white paint colors topped the list, however, there were a handful of non-white paint colors that also made it. It’s a true mixed bag of paint colors.

Before I dive into the actual paint colors there are a few tips to remember when you are choosing a kitchen cabinet paint color.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST KITCHEN CABINET PAINT COLOR

So when you start thinking about a paint color make sure you take into account your walls, counters, backsplash, floor, and appliances. You want everything to be in balance and play nicely with one another.

Consider the following:

  • Cabinet style
  • Kitchen size
  • Decor style
  • Lighting – natural and artificial
  • Countertop color
  • Backsplash
  • Floor color
  • Appliances

Do your paint color research.

All that being said, it’s a good idea to do some research before diving right in with a paint color for your kitchen cabinets. You want to make sure it’s the best choice, and you’ll enjoy it for years to come.

Here are some helpful tips:

  • Do a Google search for the paint color you are thinking about. You’ll be able to find great articles and pictures of what the color looks like.

I have a ton of in-depth posts about all different paint colors. For example, a few of my most recent paint color posts were the ever so popular Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray, Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray, BM Caldwell Green, and Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist.

  • Go to Pinterest. Just like Google, you’ll be able to find several helpful pictures of the paint colors in question.

I am browsing and posting on Pinterest all the time. Check out my Pinterest page for some inspiration.

  • Talk to a professional. Sometimes, scheduling a color consultation and getting help from someone who knows about paint colors can be a tremendous help.

This is something I do all the time for clients. A lot of the time, people know what they want, but they just need a little help making the final decision.

Sure, painting your cabinets is much cheaper than replacing them, but if you choose the wrong color, you’ll end up repainting them. Not only is this more time but it’s also more money.
