Best Paint Colors for Kitchen Cabinets

The safest warm white for cabinets: LRV 85 keeps a small kitchen bright, and the cream undertone hides everyday marks better than a stark white.

A slightly deeper warm white than White Dove, suited to kitchens with a lot of natural wood already in the room.

The default "safe greige" cabinet color; works with almost any countertop, but can look flat under all-LED lighting with no natural light.

A truer warm greige than Agreeable Gray with no pink flash, worth trying if Agreeable Gray read too cool on your sample board.

A 2010s staple that can shift green under fluorescent or LED lighting, so test a sample under your actual kitchen bulbs before committing.

A warm dark bronze-brown that reads moody rather than heavy, popular for a lower cabinet run under a lighter upper cabinet or open shelving.

Near-black with a soft blue-green cast; common on an island specifically so the rest of the kitchen can stay light.

The truest black on this site, with almost no undertone shift; pick this over Iron Ore when you want zero color drift against black hardware.

A deep muted green in the current dark-cabinet trend, reads near-black at night and green in direct daylight.

A lighter, more clearly sage-green option than Jasper for a kitchen that wants color without going as dark as a near-black.
