Kitchen cabinet colour

7 years ago

Does anyone have suggestion for a kitchen cabinet colour that's grey with green undertone, or vice versa? I'm going around in circles. Countertop will be a quartz white with some grey vein, but very little. Floors are fumed, white oak, mid to dark brown. Trim in house is white, and we have a stone fireplace, Tudor house.

If you're looking for a warm neutral, I love Revere Pewter from Ben Moore. It's the perfect greige and goes with so many materials.

I would get samples to see how it looks in your house with your lighting because paint can really look different depending on the surroundings. Colors you can check out: Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter, Edgecomb Grey, Stingray, Halo, Moonshine, Grey Owl, Calm and Silver Chain
Sherwin Williams Worldly Grey, Useful Grey and Collonade Grey
Good Luck! So far everything looks beautiful.

Consider cabinets in the same white as the trim in the house. Definitely can get too many colors, textures, and finishes in a house. The quartz with light grey veining will be nice with white cabinets with brushed nickel hardware.

If you have not already made this kitchen I would like to help, it lacks adequate storage for good pantry space. If you need a lot of fridge space I am not sure that is the best method as it takes up a lot of space. The idea of adding the bench for the kids is a good concept but the high back means the kids can't see you all the time and they will end up on your side of the bench so they can see you. Incorporating space for the kids at the end of the island bench would be more functional for both you in the kitchen and the kids would be able to see you move around and feel a part of things. Also how will they use this space kids don't just sit still they will want a bench or something they can use to draw do homework etc. Colour contract of light and dark always looks good. If you need help call I have a kitchen company called www.louisdivine.com.au. My kitchens are more traditional styles but I can do whatever is required and given the detail used in my kitchens my prices are competitive. P.S white bench tops are not hard to keep clean and they don't date, the nature of the stone itself is easy to clean.

I love that look too - it's bright, clean and classic without being stark. Think about a warm white as it'll pick up warmth of Creme Brulee caesarstone. Perhaps look at Dulux Antique White. Remember too if there's a colour that matches your caesarstone and you like it you can do it in half or quarter strength so that it tones but isnt the same. If you can only get small paint chip samples grab a bunch of them and tape them together and put them in the space your cabinets will be with a sample of the caesarstone - paint colours change depending upon light. Good luck.

Love white cabinetry and would do bench top in white too. Think with the peachy cream floor and sandy beige walls, adding a 3rd colour might be too much. And if you make the cabinets and benchtop in similar shades to walls or floor, it might be beige overload! A white might lift it. Maybe post a pic of the floor so we can see how peachy or creamy it is.

Thank you dreamer, the window is green glass. I was hoping to have a different colour for the lowers but I may have no choice. Was trying to make the kitchen a bit more like a living area with colour. The kitchen above is stunning!

White/trim color was actually my first thought as well.

Thanks, I started with white, but moved away because thought it wasn't warm enough and have quite a bit of white occurring in open concept, but only about 700 sqft. So have a large white mantel with a white wood panelled wall above, and a white banquette seating for sitting area. White cabinets, white counter...felt too sterile to me. I thought of warming it with wood countertop, but it won't stand the test of time in my household. So I started searching for a warm neutral colour for cabinets, and grey-green seemed like a good compromise.

this one is Gettysburg Grey from BM

Fieldstone, BM

BM "Gray Wisp" is another similar tone.

I don't know this color but it's beautiful w/the gold and white!

Maybe Annie Sloan's chalk paint in Chateau Grey?

https://www.anniesloan.com/annie-sloan-products/paints/chalk-paint/chateau-grey-chalk-paint.html

I'm with sm m though...definitely get samples and check them out with your lighting. What looks pretty in the store or outside might look downright awful in the space you're wanting to use it in.

Will do, have low light so colours tend to look darker. The fieldstone mentioned above, I actually asked for it at Ben Moore store today and they said it's discontinued...odd, they should be able to replicate. I will try again. The grey wisp is pretty too.

greydesign My Benjamin Moore guy told me they NEVER discontinue paint colors. They may not promote or have color cards for old colors, but they always have the formula and can mix it. I found a green I liked in the fan deck and he mixed me a quart sample. There wasnt a color card for it; I would have never known about it from the web or the display in the store.

contact the online BM website and tell them about the discontinued color issue. If anything they will refer you to another place, give you the 'recipe' or even ship out a sample to you so you take it to have it replicated. Just because the guy at the store can't find the name, doesn't mean they can no longer make it.

Thanks everyone, I thought it odd to discontinue a colour, when they can literally replicate colours off pictures. I will follow up and hunt down a sample.

If you're interested check out the encycolorpedia website; it's a neat resource for seeing what colors work together and how close other brands of paint are to the original hue. Here's the info covering BM's Fieldstone:

What great website, I had no idea it existed, but appreciate the language of paint...and it may help resolve issues with hubby when we seem to be saying the same thing in different ways.

Thanks to everyone and their advice, wonderful community of support. Was my first post and I'm thoroughly impressed how quick people are to help. I'm following up on all the advice. This latest website is causing me to lean toward mirage gray by BG and French gray by FB.

I will track down fieldstone on weekend and compare all three and hope one stands out.

I did paint a board with one of the colours and move it around the kitchen, that was good advice as the undertone colours really come thru at different times.
