Top 5 Colors in Major Color Categories we Recommend

Why is it so important to select the right cabinet paint color? The paint color you select can yield stunning or not-so-stunning results. To ensure stunning results, you need to consider cabinet size and existing decor to make the right color selection.

 Large cabinets provide the focal point of any room, while small cabinets tend to blend in. Dark, vibrant colors make large cabinets appear even more prominent (not in a good way) but help small cabinets stand out. Light hues help large cabinetry blend in but make small cabinets seem even smaller.

Cabinets should complement your existing décor, not compete with it. That said, a contrasting paint color (white cabinetry with paired black countertops) can work, but you need to select a shade that evokes balance and harmony with the existing décor rather than messiness and chaos.

So whether you're investing in brand new cabinetry or rehabbing older cabinets, make sure to choose paint colors wisely! Here are our top 5 recommendations from each major color category.
