Paint color for Cabinets

8 years ago

I am looking for a paint color to redo my previously painted cabinets. They held up great for 5 years with BM Advance paint but really as every one has said trying to find a white without taking lighting into consideration is not good. Lesson learned, even though I did a paint swatch in the summer, the color is totally different in the winter bordering on a peach under tone. I think it was BM Natural Cream Advance. We degreased, lightly sanded, removed a couple of solid panels and replaced with glass. The wall color is BM Stonington Grey which I love. We have taken off bifold closet door and replaced with door as well as flipped cedar around to get a more pronounced groove. We are DIY'ers so we are open to any suggestions, it's just paint! The floor is Branson Gray White Oak, but looks peachy in pics which it is not. Hard to get a good idea of color. I love the hamptons looks or french bistro look. The countetop is being changed to a carrara marble quartz, haven't committed to this yet..

I don’t have a colour recommendation for you but, having recently installed marble-look quartz, I can assure you that the “white” in them, varies greatly among manufacturers so, you should definitely change them first.

PS. I love like a french gray blue color but can't find one.

Thank you for that advice, as I have several samples and most are more white than I would prefer. As the area is totally open to other rooms, I am looking for a subtle grey veining as opposed to something "loud and in your face". Much appreciate your input "enjoythejourney".

I like the cabinet color as it is (timeless) and would consider changing out the countertops with marble.

I am currently looking for a new countertop and as recommended by some of you, I should find the paint color first. The current on is beautiful in the spring and summer but reads almost with a hint of peach in the other months. I am truly not a "peach person"! I have to say it is far nicer than the "orange color oak cabinets" they once were.

Really liking your stove.

You could continue the wall color you already like into the kitchen and dining room -- walls and cabinets -- but adding some color along the way -- perhaps repainting the top cabinets a true decorator's white (without any pink or yellow hue) but painting the base cabinets some other color and/or choosing a colorful back splash and/or accent wall.

Stained glass window hangings or smaller sun catchers are a good way to add quick color that is quickly changeable according to the season or your mood.
