Paint Design Dilemma Kitchens

Paint color help - Calacutta Gold Quartz counters

8 months ago

We’re updating our kitchen and have decided on Calacatta Gold quartz countertops paired with walnut lower cabinets and white uppers. The same countertop material will be used for a 4-inch backsplash, with a larger slab on the wall above the stove and in one additional area. I’m looking for a warm paint color that isn’t too dark but also not fully white. The paint will continue from the kitchen into the living room, entry, and hallway. Any ideas?

Please rethink the 4 inch backsplash. leave it off and add an interesting tile backsplash above the countertop.

Great for a slab above the stove.

SW Reserved White is a great kitchen white color, with a hint of green to compliment the Gold veining and perfect for moving into adjacent rooms where it will look different with upholstered furniture and different lighting. Give it a sample!

Please rethink, adding quartz behind a stove, or close to heat. It will discolor, and could be a fire hazard. Leave off the 4 inch backsplash, and look for tile, for a backsplash.
