Kitchens Paint Design Dilemma

Kitchen wall paint!

4 years ago

Trying to choose a kitchen wall paint color. Pictured shows our new floor tile, backsplash, light gray cabinet, and navy island. Any suggestions on wall paint? I feel like I’ve been boring so far. The main wall will have our pantry doors which will either be the woodwork white or we will paint to match the cabinets.

Depending on the rest of your space you can do either neutral like Benjamin Moore Ice Formation 973 or you can add a bit of soft color with a sea glass color like Benjamin Moore Nelson Blue CW-635.

I would do the blue and the pantry door IMO should match the cabinets since it is just a large cabinet.

I am in the process and just about decided . I was looking at warm offwhites and these were the contenders which might work for you SW Creamy SW Moderate White SW Natural Choice They are more subdued but definitely have a creamy tone to them. Another one was SW Creme. Editing to add- what a beautiful kitchen!

Your countertop is beigy-beige. Be sure that your walls would not clash with it. May be to go with off-white color?

try some of these (Light Pewter is a lighter, warm gray) I have it in my kitchen. The other 3 are also nice choices Lacey pearl is very light. This one is Pale Oak and White Dove trim

What color is currently on the walls in the kitchen? Not sure exactly what you're looking for but first chip I'd pull is Manchester Tan. Same hue family neighborhood as Pale Oak but it has a different pitch of nuance - and that could nicely bridge the fixed finishes (floor & counter top) in the kitchen to Pale Oak.

Thank you! Another question then:
The adjoining rooms (open concept), are BM “Woodlawn Blue” and then SW “Comfort Gray”....would that “Nelson Blue” coordinate nicely with those adjoining rooms as well as with the navy island?

@Katie Ciara the Nelson Blue is a little lighter than the Comfort Gray and a TINGE more blue but very much along the same lines those will flow very nicely. However, if your space is open concept try to minimize the amount of colors you are using to keep the space from feeling too busy. Maybe Comfort Gray, Sea Salt (which is lighter than the Comfort Gray) and Woodlawn Blue?

Thank you! We actually used Sea Salt in our master so I am familiar with it!
