Trending cabinet colors that aren't white

[@litrealred6840]

Wooden cabinets always classic and timeless!

[@indianpatriot4444]

I have medium colour wooden cabinets for the last 10 years and I still love it. The back splash is light beige marble design and off white walls with black granite countertops in a parallel kitchen with a separate sink area. White cabinets are too cold for me and I am scared of committing to colour as I think I might get over it in a year or two. My in laws moved from white cabinets to grey and I can see how the kitchen looks so dark and dim while my parents moved from light grey to light wood which feels light and airy

I’m from the same generation and 100% agree with you. I cringe when I see the avocado and harvest gold we adored back in the day. It seems to me that the creams and light beiges are really just white after a good night’s sleep. I think they can be mixed together really creatively.

I agree, I remember the avocado green and mustard colours in the 70s, they soon became too much. From years of experience the fixed items in kitchens, bathrooms and laundrys are very expensive to replace.

[@kyhilltophome3153]

We built in 2016. I used to work at Sherwin Williams for about 3 years and had my own faux finish/interior painting business for about 12 years. My motto for my own home is NO WHITE WALLS and NO WHITE CABINETS LOL!!! I love color. My own color choices are watery blue greens. We have an open concept house so the living, kitchen and dining are all one big room. We have maple cabinets with a coordinating quartz countertop and SW Meander Blue walls. We are in our 70's and pretty traditional. I had to kind of chuckle when you mentioned not relying on the name. We have a guest room and bathroom painted SW Cachet Cream. You would think that's an off white. But It's a buttery yellow color. I'm kind of surprised that the sages have hung on so long. You wouldn't believe how many gallons of SW Clary Sage I mixed while working at the store from 2002-2005 and used in my own business. Accessible Beige and many of the Greige colors were popular even back then. I have my own paint chip fan deck and choose my colors from that.

I just painted the kitchen. I believe in paint colors that make people look attractive. So I went to the paint store, turned my arm over, and selected paint that matched the color of the pale skin under my forearm. The clerk came over to help me and was delighted with the idea. Since I'm a white person who was once a golden-haired urchin, the color is a pinky-yellow whitish neutral.

Pam here…I had a white kitchen…no money for new. I painted my walls Warm Muffin by Behr Paints. It is a golden yellow that made everything POP and SPARKLE. It was essentially a neutral. I could do sage greens, grey blues, burgundies, eggplant colors with it. I don’t know the precise undertone in Warm Muffin…but I have used it for 15 plus years and people keep asking me what it is and Home Depot still has the formula and still makes it for anyone who asks for it.

[@judithschaefer323]

I grew up in a farmhouse and it was not white. Neither were my neighbors. We lived on a working farm. We all had wood stove and old coal stoves that meant black everywhere Old stoves means smoke and black on the walls and ceiling. No no white ! I don’t know where the farm house was white they were not. Pale yellow pale blue or just wood cabinets that were natural color wood. Every thing had to be washable. Fresh paint in the spring. Of course white appliances until the olive green or gold. Even the Shakers did not have white cabinets. Think about old farmhouses on a farm !!

[@sunnygirl9691]

I do think most of these are pretty, particularly the soft white tones. I would worry about coordinating wall color if my cabinets were any strong tone. It seems better to keep a very neutral cabinet and paint the walls or use the color you like in the accessories. Also, these are "trends" and cabinet color is not easy to change up.

[@valeriej291]
