Popular cabinet paint colors, by color family

These are the cabinet paint colors homeowners choose most often, and they're a good place to start. Each one is a standard Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore color, so you can pick up a chip at the paint store and see it in your own light.

Whites & Off-Whites

The safest choice for resale and the most forgiving in a small or dark kitchen. Warmer whites (Alabaster, White Dove) feel soft next to wood floors; cleaner whites (Extra White, Chantilly Lace) look crisp with stone and stainless.

Snowbound
Pure White
Extra White
Alabaster
Accessible Beige
White Dove
Chantilly Lace
Pale Oak

The whites side by side. Next to each other, the warm and cool undertones show more than they do one at a time.

Black

Dramatic on an island or a full kitchen with plenty of light. Shows dust and fingerprints more than a mid-tone does.

Tricorn Black
True black · neutral
Sherwin-Williams · SW 6258

Greens

Sage and gray-greens are the color most people ask about right now. They sit well with wood tones and brass hardware.

Screen colors are approximate. These swatches use each manufacturer's published color value, but every screen shows color a little differently, and real paint changes with sheen and lighting. Look at a real chip in your kitchen before you decide, and ask us about a sprayed sample if you're stuck between two.

Don't See Your Color?

You're not limited to this list

The colors above are where most people start, not where the options end.

🔢
Any Sherwin-Williams color

Found a color in the fan deck or on a friend's cabinets? Give us the name or the SW number and that's the color we use. A manufacturer's code is a known formula, so it's the most reliable way to get exactly what you picked.

🔢
Any Benjamin Moore color

The same goes for Benjamin Moore: any color by name or code, including the Historic Colors (HC) and Off-White Collection (OC) lines that so many kitchen colors come from.

🔍
Match your existing cabinets

Adding new doors, an island or a few cabinets to a kitchen you're keeping? Then the right color is the one already on your wall. We match it from one of your actual doors, because years of sunlight mean no paint code will.

Choosing a Color

From a short list to the finished kitchen

Picking a cabinet color is easier in three small steps than in one big decision.

1
Narrow it down
Pick two or three favorites

Start from the list above, or bring any Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore code. If you're adding to cabinets you're keeping, the color is decided for you: we match what's there.

2
See it in your kitchen
Check it in your own light

Try your favorites in the Kitchen Visualizer, then hold real chips against your counters and floor, in daylight and at night. Colors that look identical in the store can split apart at home.

3
The finish
Sprayed in our own booth

Your doors and drawer fronts are sprayed in our own spray booth for a smooth, even factory-style finish, then installed by us.

FAQ

Questions about cabinet paint colors

Yes. The colors on this page are the ones people pick most, not a limit. Give us the color name or code from any Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore fan deck and we'll use that color.

A manufacturer's code is a known formula, so it's the most reliable way to get exactly the color you picked.

Every phone and monitor shows color a little differently, and paint changes with sheen and with the light in your kitchen. The swatches here use each manufacturer's published color value, so they're close, but treat them as a starting point.

Before you decide, look at a real chip in your own kitchen in daylight and again at night.

It mostly comes down to warm or clean. Alabaster and White Dove are soft, warm whites that feel comfortable next to wood floors and warm lighting. Extra White and Chantilly Lace are cleaner and brighter, and look crisp with white or gray stone.

If your countertop or backsplash has a cream or beige tone, a stark white can make it look dingy, so a warmer white is usually the safer pick.

Yes. If you're adding new doors, an island or a few cabinets and want them to blend with what you have, we match the finish from one of your actual doors. A photo or a paint code won't get there, because your cabinets have aged.

See how cabinet color matching works.
