Kitchen cabinet paint color(s)

Installing white ice granite countertop - white with a blue-gray pattern in this 1 bedroom apt

Wanting to paint the cabinets a blue-gray. Hard to pick color and wondering in this small kitchen if I should paint the top ones a lighter color or paint all the same color.... Any advice welcome! (Fridge and stove will be stainless steel)

Thank you!

Hello, I would suggest doing darker in the bottom and then lighter on the top. Be sure your undertones all work together. Compare your swatches and materials in the kitchen. I know way too many disaster stories with mismatched undertones. Good Luck!

I agree with Chatelle. Grays have tendency to change hues in different lights. They can turn purple, blue, green. I suggest you paint some sample boards of the colors you are considering and put them up in different places in the kitchen at different times of day to make sure the color of paint is right for you. If you need help picking out colors give me a call.
