20 Beautiful Paint Colors for Kitchen Cabinets {2021 Trends}
Don’t be afraid of bringing color to your kitchen! Especially since it is the center of the home. Cabinets don’t always have to be white or some other neutral color.
Painting your cabinets can truly make them stand out while adding a burst of energy to the space. I know it can be hard to imagine the finished product, so today I’m sharing pictures of painted kitchen cabinet ideas to help you visualize it!
Best Kitchen Cabinet Color Combinations
With all these color ideas for painting kitchen cabinets, I’ve included a full list for you with plenty of photos to show you what it will look like. Kitchen cabinet color trends have come a long way from being very monochromatic. People are embracing bolder colors that make a statement. So which color trend will you go with? Let’s take a look at some of the front runners.
Sage green has been on the horizon for the last couple of years as a trending paint color. This is due to the popularity of the Boho design style and the mid-century modern look. Both have design elements pulled from nature and a more modern flare. It feels serene and still fresh and fun.
Green/Yellow/Pinks
Sage Green and White
This kitchen used sage green as the main color cabinet and mixed in white cabinets for the island. The white quartz countertops and gold hardware give a little glam to this kitchen. The traditional rug has vibrant colors like blue to add some dimension.

Yellow
This kitchen went through an amazing transformation, from country brown cabinets to bright yellow on the lower cabinets and open shelving on top!
{ A Beautiful Mess }
A soft buttery yellow is a warm color to paint the cabinets with.
It leads to a sophisticated look as well.

Such a charming kitchen, especially with all the rich wood counters being paired with this creamy yellow.

Pink/Blush
You may never think about a pink color for your kitchen, but some people really do like it. This pink looks incredible with all the white, and pops of color from the accessories.

Mint
Mint kitchen cabinets give a cool coastal feel to this kitchen. Paired with white gives it a more modern feel.

Such a fabulous farmhouse look with the black cabinets , big farmhouse sink, and open shelving above.

Don’t be afraid of going with a dark black color on the lowers especially when you have tons of natural light flowing into the kitchen and shining off those white counters and uppers.

Shades of Blue
Grey & Navy
As a huge fan of gray, AND dark blue. I’d totally go for this design. The island gives the perfect amount of blue to go with all the curtains and pretty dishes.

Navy Blue
A gorgeous farmhouse kitchen in this modern navy blue color.

I have to admit this might just be my favorite one so far.

Deep Purple
The light purple color on the cabinets play along beautifully with the stained glass window over to the right. It is almost as if this color could be considered neutral.
{via Jeff King & Co }
A huge island in a bright and open kitchen can definitely be this shade of purple.
The dining table has a dark purple base that plays with this perfectly.
{via Christopher Peters }
Shades of Grey
Light Grey
Grey is a timeless color. It can make the kitchen a beautiful classic, and it can go with any style cabinets and home you have and I think it really is the new neutral, all shades of gray.
{via Our Vintage Home Love }
{via Elements of Style on Decorpad }
Dark Grey
Dark grey cabinets give such a striking contrast to a kitchen. Paired with gold accents gives it a sleek modern look.

Dark Brown Wood
This trend of a darker wood cabinet is not as popular right now but done right I think it still looks amazing and not outdated. I love it paired with lots of white for a modern take.
{via Country Living}

Beige

Cream
This gorgeous cream color is less grey than the beige above and a little more yellow to the white-based paints. It gives a kitchen a soft warm feel for sure.

7 Best Color Pairs for a Multicolored Kitchen Set (looks cool!)
Combination sets are a kitchen trend often used by designers. But it can be difficult to choose different shades for the upper and lower cabinets or columns on your own. Our selection of color pairs - to help you!
1 Red and white
Red and white combine well in one kitchen set.
It turns out not too catchy, but at the same time attracting attention. Be careful with the choice of shades, it is best to stay on muted shades of red, especially for small kitchens. nine0003
Instagram: @kopeikina.interiors
Instagram: @euphodecor
Instagram: @moetalksalot
2 White and gold
The combination of white and gold looks very airy and aristocratic. In this case, most of the headset, as well as the decoration of the room, should still be white. In gold, you can decorate a number of small cabinets. To make the interior look thoughtful and complete, add a few golden accents to the kitchen, such as a chandelier or furniture legs. nine0003
Instagram: @serova_design

3 Pink and gray
Pink and gray is a gentle combination that will look good in a modern minimalist kitchen.
Choose a headset with a matte surface, so the combination of these two colors will become more elegant. It is also worth choosing tones that are close in saturation.
Light gray and pink are cool colors, so they won't overload even a small kitchen. Can be used as an addition to another accent cold color. For example, blue, as in this project.

4 Blue and cyan
These two colors are close to each other on the color wheel, and they will overlap and complement each other beautifully. If the volume of the room allows, surround the blue color with blue, so it will look like a bright accent. And do not forget to bring at least one of these colors outside the headset, for example, in the decoration of a room or furniture upholstery. nine0003

5 Green and orange
Green and orange are two natural colors that can be found in nature, so their combination is perceived as harmonious.
But since these are bright and deep colors, you need to carefully select the shades. Use the color wheel and choose tones that are the same distance from the center. For example, in this kitchen, the designer used a muted green with a bluish tint and a dark orange, close to terracotta. The wall cabinet is decorated with light wood. It stands out in an interesting yet unobtrusive way and balances out the bright color group. nine0003

6 Orange and gray
Orange and gray will go well in a modern kitchen or loft-style room. At the same time, both shades can be quite deep and saturated. To combine the headset with the rest of the interior, use orange accents. For example, you can choose a pair of bar stools, sofa cushions or curtains in this color. nine0003

7 Blue and white
Another classic and win-win combination.
In dark blue, the bottom row of cabinets and side vertical cabinets are usually decorated. And the white upper cabinets become a continuation of the ceiling. It turns out colorful and at the same time not too catchy.

and color. As a base, we took a complex turquoise, which in one form or another is present in all functional areas. It also has a kitchen set. It is made to match the rest of the interior, in the same turquoise hue with classically shaped facades.

2 Kitchen with gold facades
The brightest accent in the interior of this kitchen-living room is the golden set. Despite the fact that the facades are made in a catchy color, it goes well with the living area. All thanks to the repeating colors: gold, green, as well as a shade of wood. The upper tier of cabinets in gold is duplicated in the design of bar stools, their base is also decorated in gold. Curtains, decorative pillows on the sofa, parts of the coffee table are also made in gold. Despite some pomposity, in fact, this interior looks very cozy and harmonious. nine0003

3 Ultramarine kitchen with spectacular hood
The facades of the suite (as well as the walls in this kitchen) are painted in a bright blue hue and complemented with gold fittings.
A rich palette makes the interior memorable and individual, and the details add gloss. One of the main elements is a three-dimensional extract of a beautiful complex shape with a carved edge. In fact, a geyser is also hiding under the dome. nine0003

4 Kitchen in olive color
Unusual color schemes can be not only bright and contrasting, but also quite neutral. In this case, the set is made in a calm olive hue, but the thing is that in the Provence interior, the whole palette is usually very diluted. That is why the olive kitchen in this interior looks spectacular. By the way, the dining group also supports the color scheme on the facades - the upholstery of the chairs is made in the same shade.

5 Contrasting kitchen
Choosing colors that contrast in warmth is a popular technique not only in wall or floor decoration, but also in furniture design. So, two colors were used here: cold, saturated blue and neutral warm beige.
