 Don’t Miss the Most Popular Kitchen Cabinet Paint Colors of 2023

Hunting for that perfect new kitchen cabinet paint color? We’ve got you covered, outlining a quick look at what’s trending, a few specific examples, and some tips too.

But first, we want to add that you just can’t go wrong with white. It offers a timeless look and a clean, airy feel in your kitchen. Gray is almost just as popular too, pairing well with many countertop and wall colors. We’re also seeing a lot of navy blue these days - it’s a bold, luxurious look! Sage green too. It’s softer and more natural but no less striking.

Try these cabinet colors on for size

Please know that we aren’t advocating for any specific brands or manufacturers here, but rather offering color examples that you can use as a springboard for your own project.

 Don’t Miss the Most Popular Kitchen Cabinet Paint Colors of 2023

Pure White by Sherwin-Williams

This bright, clean white creates an inviting atmosphere in the kitchen while also pairing well with either light or dark countertops. It won’t clash with your hardware either. Highly versatile, it can be used for a variety of looks, ranging from modern to traditional to farmhouse.

White Dove by Benjamin Moore

Picture Pure White, but now make it a little bit warmer. And that’s really the beauty of white: there are so many options and variations to choose from! This pick will never go out of style and plays well with any other materials, colors, or textures you’d like to introduce.

Naval by Sherwin-Williams

Remember the navy blue we mentioned? This one’s a great example! Deep and rich, it provides both contemporary and traditional kitchens with a classic look. If you don’t want the space to become too dark, try using it on just your lower cabinets and sticking with something lighter and brighter up top.

Rookwood Dark Green by Sherwin Williams

Whether you're looking to make a bold statement or add a touch of sophistication, Rookwood Dark Green is a great choice. It also pairs well with lighter colors and natural woods, making it a great option for traditional-style kitchens.

What factors should you consider when you’re picking cabinet colors?

Keep these key considerations in mind to help guide your decision-making process:

  • Consider the overall theme of your kitchen. Do you prefer a modern, classic, or traditional look? Different colors will support different goals.

  • Consider the style of your cabinets themselves.

  • What about the other colors in your kitchen? Are there any accent colors you want to complement, or avoid clashing with?

  • Factor in your “fixed” colors, like countertops, backsplash, and flooring. What kind of palette will work best?

  • What about the size of your kitchen? Light colors will make it look bigger while darker colors can make it feel smaller.

  • You'll also want to assess the amount of natural light. Light paint can make a darker kitchen look brighter and dark paint can make a brighter kitchen look more cozy.

Customer Reviews

“My entire experience with MB Jesse was very professional. The crew were very friendly and super accommodating of my ridiculous schedule and geriatric pets in the house. The finished product, which was pretty much my entire house, far exceeds my expectations. Would definitely work with them again!”

— Heather Jordan

“I want to express my thanks for a job well done. The rooms look great and there is no problem with any marks on the all the trim, floor, carpet, etc. The paint job is lovely. I also want to express my thanks for the level of professionalism the foreman showed in running the job. He was very attentive to any changes I needed to make, was extremely careful in getting the faux paint color and effect correct. Thanks so much for a job well done.”

— Suzan D’Arcy

“We just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the work of MB Jessee Painting and your employees. Everything turned out beautiful. Our foreman was great! He was punctual, professional, neat and very accommodating ... and went the extra mile. We will definitely recommend you to our friends and family.”

— Michelle & Rivers Gee

“Many thanks to Rigoberto and Damon and the extraordinary team who transformed my castle in the skies.They are magicians. I appreciate their work very much.”

— Kathleen A

“I loved working with M.B. Jessee from start to finish on a relatively small paint job that grew a bit. I felt in very good hands from the moment Matt Jessee came out to give me the estimate and talk about my job. He was very easy to talk to and he handled my changes very well. Then the actual work done by Rigoberto and Mario was impeccable. They were neat and meticulous and the paint job looks beautiful. I could not have asked for more and when I did, they accommodated me 100%. I will not hesitate to call M.B. Jessee again and to refer them to friends.”

— Nancy Kurkjian

“High quality work from a pleasant and qualified staff. Thank you!”

— Paul Markovich

“Julie, by the way, I have never been so impressed with the service of a painting job before! It was like magical elves came and painted our walls without us having to do a thing! It looks amazing and just wanted to let you know how happy we are. Thanks”

— Anja

“The entire MB Jessee team is courteous, efficient and professional. From scheduling and estimating to the crew managers and crew, they all did an excellent job on a small (but complicated) two room project in my house. I'm already thinking about getting them scheduled for the next project in the spring.”

— Cari Cheney

“MB Jessee just finished our exterior and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The foreman (Pedro) and lead painter (Ricardo) were incredible to work with: they communicated scheduling clearly, Ricardo was a joy to be around every day, the showed up early every day, were incredibly tidy and did great paint work. The final walk through experience was incredible. Pedro pointed out items I missed demonstrating a clear desire to complete another quality project. I highly recommend them. As others have noted they definitely aren't the cheapest but you quickly realize that you're getting what you pay for. The 3 year guarantee is also a nice touch since there are likely touch up items that will show up after the job is done.”

— Joshua Jansen

“The kitchen looks NEW! You guys are amazing.”

“The painters at MB Jesse are top notch! Cesar's team was super friendly and helpful. They were very polite and accommodating. Their expertise in everything painting related was evident in their attention to detail and efficiency painting tricky spaces. The apartment looks brand new!”

— Adam Swisher
