Kitchen Cabinet Color - White vs. Gray
Comments (18)All, Just thought I’d update you here. In a recent development, I made the executive call to shiplap the great room/kitchen, which will likely be painted Sherwin Williams alabaster. With the shiplap walls in an off-white, I think my hesitation around doing the gray cabinets has dissipated. I plan to go with Wellborn’s Hancock door style, and the doors will be made out of MDF. As such, I’m limited to their paint color which is baked on in the factory. Budget is a concern here and going with their Dove gray color is friendlier than choosing my own custom shade of gray. If I could, I would pick a lighter gray, but I don’t think it will make a huge difference now that the walls will be so light....See Moregray kitchen cabinet blues
Comments (9)Hi! Maria Killam is the color expert! She has a system that helps with undertones of neutrals. Also has a blog that is like 10 years old full of helpful stuff. She talks a lot about ben moore as she worked there. The color has an undertone, lighting from inside the home influences (how warm or cold it is), color that reflects from outside into your home also can influence. In my last home I liked a beige during the day but night it went wrong and so I tried more cool lightbulb color which helped. So gray has either blue , purple, or green. I have seen all of them and painted with all at sometime either on a wall or furniture. I had blue gray in a bathroom which I liked. Purple gray feels - odd - to me. And then green gray. It looks more like the one in nature and she considers that the most "neutral" and I agree. It can work well with some beige colors too. Here is a jumping off point if you want to visit her site. https://www.mariakillam.com/what-everyone-should-know-about-gray/ Good luck!...See MoreConsidering blue gray paint colors for kitchen cabinets
Comments (10)My kitchen is open to my living room. We have white cabinets (Medallion White Icing) on the perimeters with BM Mineral Alloy on the island. Super White on the counters throughout with white 2x8 subway tiles. We also get ample light. I love blue, but was hesitant that I would tire of an entire blue kitchen. I feel our blue island (it's ~9x5) gives enough pop of color. Walls in adjoining rooms are BM Manchester Tan. Do take into consideration the decor in your living room. When we built 5 years ago, my furniture was very much earth tones which went well in our previous home. The stools in the above photo were from our old home which had natural cherry shaker cabinets. They have since been changed out. Still not happy with what I have, however. I've slowly changed the living room furniture so that the two rooms blend better. This is a picture I just snapped (sorry for the clutter). End table and sofa are all that's left from when we moved in. I'm still struggling with what to do with the sofa, but that's another thread....See MoreClassic Gray vs Shoji White - how to tone down warm kitchen cabinets
Comments (70)cdisimone - I have very similar color cabinets and granite in my kitchen except my backsplash is lighter and floors are very dark porcelain, wood look tile. I've been looking for a color that will work throughout the majority of my house too. After weeks of deliberating, I started with my dining room and painted Shoji White last night. Not sure I like it....it does not look warm or creamy in my house at all. It looks like a very light cool gray. :-( I was going more for a warm white so I can brighten things up but still have the warm, cozy feel. I'm going to give it a few days before continuing on through the rest of my house. My suggestion is to paint an entire wall or much larger sample on your wall before deciding!...See MoreRelated Professionals
