Popular Kitchen Paint Colors
Kitchen paint colors shape how the space feels for cooking, eating, and gathering. A classic white kitchen is always popular, but more kitchens are using color to add depth and personality. Warm whites, tans, and soft yellows pair well with deeper greens, blues, and grays to create balanced kitchen color schemes. Think about how the wall color will look next to cabinets, countertops, stone, and natural wood.

Ready to Find Your Kitchen Color?
Before committing to a full room, test your favorite shades where it matters most. Lighting, furnishings, and floor color can all affect how paint reads on the wall.
That is why we recommend using Dunn-Edwards Perfect Palette® Collection to view your chosen color in different conditions throughout the day. Apply two coats on a poster board or small wall area and observe it in morning, afternoon, and evening light.
Sampling helps remove the guesswork and ensures your final choice works beautifully in your space.
