Hello my friends!! Are you like most people when it comes to choosing a cabinet paint color? You literally have no clue how to even start, the amount of choices is too overwhelming and you’d rather have a root canal than look through 75 shades of off-white???
Fear no more, I can help you!
After painting cabinets in over 200 kitchens, I’ve come up with a list of really awesome colors! This is purely subjective of course, but if you’re completely lost on where to start, start here! And keep scrolling for some photos at the end…

I’d love to hear them. Leave a comment or shoot me an email!
If choosing a cabinet color paralyzes you, I hope that a color on this list will be a perfect fit for your space. If you don’t find a color here, then maybe it will at least get the ball rolling! Two more quick tips for you…
-
ALWAYS look at the color card IN the space which you’ll be painting (or better yet, a sample quart of the color). Never, never choose a color by viewing it online or in the store only! Please heed this advice my friends!!
-
ALWAYS take home way more sample color cards than you think you’ll need. They’re free! If you go in looking for a shade of cream, don’t just pick 2 or 3 cards….I want you to gather like 20+ options! It will be much easier to narrow down 20-30 different colors than it will be just 2-3 colors!
