Help picking cabinet paint color to coordinate with SW Agreeable Gray

7 years ago

My home has an open floor plan and majority of walls are SW Agreeable Gray, some accents in BM Pale Smoke, trim is SW Alabaster. I am looking for ideas to paint the kitchen cabinets (currently honey oak). Kitchen is small with little natural light. Floors are warm medium-toned oak. Appliances, counter, and backsplash are very old and will be updated to coordinate (therefore not a consideration in my decision).


Trying to stay neutral. Considering a warm medium-toned gray, but not sure if it would be enough contrast with the SW Agreeable Gray walls? I am hoping to pick something other than white, but will reconsider if that will look best. Thank you. Will try to post a photo when kitchen is not a mess.

    Check coordinating colors for SW Agreeable Gray. It is Extra White and Incredible white. I would go with Incredible white.

    Alabaster, keep same as your trim and it will look cohesive.

    I'm doing agreeable gray walls, dorian gray island, pure white trim and I need a white/off white for the rest of the kitchen cabinets. I put up a sample of incredible white and did not like it. Do you have a picture of your cabinets?

    I am following bc I am in the same boat. North facing kitchen presently with cherry cabinets (Tuscan look) that I am trying to update and lighten up. I am going with Agreeable Gray walls but which white for the cabinets?? I've read SW White Heron, Incredible White and Snowbound but I don't want to spend so much money and not be happy.

    What did you decide??

    I'm with that other person. SW Extra White. You can't go wrong.

    Sue I'm still trying to decide also. I've read about WestHighland White. I'm leaning more towards SnowBound. Can you use Ben Moore? White Dove is supposed to be perfect with Agreeable Gray. Ben Moore not an option for me.

    PS Incredible White is one under Agreeable on the color strip.

    I swatches Agreeable Gray, Incredible White, Extra White and Alabaster just this week. My cabinets are Agreeable Gray and I was trying to find a wall color. In my east facing room the Incredible white did not look white. It looked muddy and I was worried there was not enough contrast with Agreeable Gray. The Extra white looked too stark. I choose Alabaster for the walls and they look great. Just painted yesterday.

    I am going with Snowbound for my cabinets and Agreeable for the walls. Mine is north facing so hopefully it will work.

    Curios how the Snowbound look with the Agreeable Gray walls. I have Extra White trim and wasn't sure if I should change white colors. Any thoughts?

    They look great!

    I was considering going with a gray cabinet...undecided on the color gray but now I'm thinking white cabinets might look great too!!!! The Snowbound white looks good.


    @Sue what color are your floor? I like them! Are the laminate, engineered or hard wood? Just curious.

    I’m not sure what color the floors are bc we aren’t the original owner but they are real hardwood.

    @Sue I know this is a year old but hoping you can confirm for me the colors of your kitchen. Agreeable Gray walls and Snowbound Cabinets? My floors are nearly identical to you but we still have brown/beige/charcoaly granite counters that we can't replace yet but I am just over the dark wood cabinetry and need a color to go with my agreeable gray walls.

    Yes, my cabinets are SW Snowbound and walls are Agreeable Gray. Countertops are Cambria Brittanica.
