Stripe above sink is comfy beige, Behr N290-3. I still have the original paint in white and dark grey.
Bisque appliance, need help with cabinet color?
+31
My appliances are bisque, working fine and don't want to replace them. Orgainally was going to do the upper cabinets white and bottoms a dark grey. But once I saw the appliances against the white primer I saw that was not a good match. I will be installing a new floor also and it's vinyl Cali Saddlewood like a Brazilian cherry or very close. I would like some opinions.. As you can see above the sink I attempted a comfy beige by Behr, going back and forward if that will do it. I want the cabinets to pop out ...
I would go with Mediterranean by heirloom to pop.
I would use a color to make them pop. Something in the blue family - maybe Teal?
Don't be so afraid of a little color. Beige, white, gray.... all neutral. The floor is cherry, the appliances are off white. All considered "cool" colors. Bring in a little warmth like a light shade of green-always a good kitchen color. Get color swatches at the Home Depot with strips of color. Tape them up and look at them for a few days. You will get as many answers to your question as number of people that answer. Go with your gut.
you could antique the cabinets or use a dark grey - there are so many color pallets to choose from maybe get some samples of paint in the little cans before deciding
I would paint the soffit and shelf Comfy Beige, white for the upper cabinets and blue family for the lower cabinets. Mediterranean like Kathy suggests is bold and luxurious but a little dark. Marquee Jay Bird by Behr is lighter. Comfy Beige on the soffit would tie in with the new flooring. You don't want a dark color for the uppers, it would make the kitchen look smaller.
Beige uppers and teal lowers.
Hi Michael: My personal opinion is to select a colour that will blend everything in. You have a lot going on in that little space, and I think I'd like something that would relax the eye instead of giving it more stuff to look at. So, saying that, I'd go with the comfy beige, or a light colour, on all of the cabinets and the shelving near the ceiling. Actually, I'd remove the shelving as it's really close to the ceiling and pretty much useless. You can put them elsewhere, like in the bathroom or another room. Just MHO.
Good luck
I got several paint chips and brought them home and laid them on top of my counter to see what works best with my color of counter and walls. Ended up with a sage green that compliments both colors. Sage green works for me since I am going for a modern country look.
Teal is the first color that comes to my mind, since you want the cabinets to "pop". Plus teal will look good if you ever change to stainless steel appliances.
I would try a light blue here is a tutorial on painting my cabinets this light blue.
The type of lighting you have in a room can change the perceived paint color considerably. See examples below.
Fluorescent lighting tends to cast a greenish tone, and incandescent a yellowy tone. LED light, especially daylight LED, is the more clear, and casts the least color on painted surfaces.
Is the ceiling fixture fluorescent? If so, and if you are considering replacing it with LED in the near future, I would advise to do so first, before choosing paint colors.
I would keep the cabinets a lighter color. Dark will make the space look small. Perhaps a light peach color would work......
Leave the Cabinets White and do everything else in the Bisque Colour. Add Bright Accessories to the scheme for a POP of colour.
Do gray or black
'Good to hear that you have updated the light fixture already. From the one photo that you posted, I could not determine if it was fluorescent or not.
When the project is finished, post some before and after pictures of your new kitchen, to share here on Hometalk.
Merry Christmas.🎄
You can buy large magnets to put over appliances that don't match, so you don't have to paint them.
I think I read in your posting that you are adding a Vinyl Floor? What ??? Your picture shows tile, are you seriously going to ditch the tile and put a vinyl floor in? If so, what colors are in the vinyl flooring that you picked? Perhaps I misunderstood, but then again... I have not seen the final pictures as of yet? ... Did I miss something?
Lite gray
I would paint cabinets light shade of gray
Don't let the primer scare you -- you can find whites that have warmer undertones that will be compatible with your appliances. Finding the same type of gray with a warm undertone will blend well too. Pick up a bunch of samples and weed through them, you'll find the right shade.
I would go with a nice natural looking green.
