cabinet color help

9 months ago

Ok the other day I posted pics of my backsplash… not changing that now. We have a contractor that will be painting the cabinets. (He does commercial work for hotels/resorts… like ritz/JW)… quality work

Question - love the fantasy brown counters. Definitely clashes with ivory cabinets

He recommended going Peppercorn on island… PIRE white from Sherwin Williams on the perimeter cabinets. Champagne gold pulls

Thoughts? Here is pic of original kitchen and a CHATGPT mock up

    try the green island with the existing perimeter. your program gave you a new wall color .....that can be any neutral .....the existing perimeter cabs could remain as is. I dont think the stark white is an improvement but there is nothing wrong with it , you can say.

    an island w color and the perimeter is a warmer white upon scrutiny....... preferable I think. do you have time to choose your actual paint shades if you are going ahead?

    CHATGPT makes things work together - changes colors, changes sizes when adding cabinets, and every monitor or screen will display colors differently, so this is a terrible way to test colors.


    The only way to know is to test with actual samples. The easy way to do this is to order from samplize.com


    They have some bundles of popular warm whites and some packages that have popular dark neutrals.


    If you have the same color trim throughout the house you may want to see if that color works well with your countertop or you may need to repaint all the trim in your home or figure out where to stop one color and move to a second color.


    I don't know if your last post had any discussion about the under counter lighting. It looks too warm. Lighting impacts how colors appear and with under counter lighting it can distort just some of the colors.


    Both the perimeter and island colors will need to work well with the trim, flooring and countertop and trim if you don't want to repaint trim. Wall color if you don't want to change wall color and the perimeter will need to work with the backsplash as well.


    All colors should coordinate with the colors used in adjoining rooms.

    I just realized I did. Double post… My bad my wife’s been having a pretty major surgery so I’ve been in and out of it and travel traveling.

    I’ll try to delete the other one because apparently it really upset people

    With that being said, it seems like the two colors work together. It’s just really my concern was is doing the island a dark color and how that would look.
