We Asked for Your Favorite Kitchen Paint Colors, and the Results Might Surprise You

Recently, we asked our followers on Facebook to tell us their current favorite kitchen paint color. From readers who responded with pictures of their own kitchens to the colors readers could agree on most, plenty of Spruce fans chimed in.

Now, we’re tallying the results. Here are your favorite kitchen colors, and some might surprise you.

#1: Green

Readers’ favorite color of all for the kitchen—as determined by number of responses and comment likes—is green, particularly sage green. There was some variation in individual paint color comments, ranging from pale shades of sage all the way to dark, bold greens. But the top comment on our post says that sage green is one of the best colors for the kitchen, and we’re inclined to agree. 

#2: Soft Neutrals

Soft neutrals were also popular in the Facebook responses: light gray, pure white, and cream or beige-toned shades were frequent reader responses.

It’s easy to see why neutrals remain popular in the kitchen. Not only do they help the kitchen blend in with open-concept spaces, neutral paint colors also make it easier for you to swap out the rest of your decor without worrying about matching the walls.

#3: Yellow

Yellow was another popular shade readers picked for the kitchen. It’s warm, cozy, and makes spaces feel lighter and brighter—and in the kitchen, this is especially important. Favorite shades of yellow stuck to mostly pale palettes, such as butter yellow. Some fans opted for richer shades of yellow to add even more of a bold statement. 

Less Popular Kitchen Paint Colors

Blue paint wasn’t left entirely off the list, although readers incorporated blue shades into their kitchens a little differently. A few readers showed off their own blue kitchen walls, while other readers opted for blue as an accent shade or even for painting their cabinets. A mix of blue accent paint with mainly white paint was another popular reader choice.

It’s worth noting that there were also a few readers who opted for light orange shades (and we had a few deep red responses thrown into the mix, too). Though this wasn’t the most common response, it was certainly well-received by other readers.

If you’re looking to add some bold warmth to your kitchen, light to mid-range orange tones can brighten up a space without overwhelming it. Dark red can also be a luxurious choice—if you’re worried about making your space feel too dark, you can either use it as an accent color or incorporate white kitchen details to lighten things up (think cabinets, display dishes, or backsplash).
