I have medium colour wooden cabinets for the last 10 years and I still love it. The back splash is light beige marble design and off white walls with black granite countertops in a parallel kitchen with a separate sink area. White cabinets are too cold for me and I am scared of committing to colour as I think I might get over it in a year or two. My in laws moved from white cabinets to grey and I can see how the kitchen looks so dark and dim while my parents moved from light grey to light wood which feels light and airy
@@indianpatriot4444 Hi! To me white looks sterile and cold, I want my home to be warm and welcoming! I remember people saying painting anything gray is like jail cell, people should design their homes for themselves don’t worry what anyone thinks! Thanks! 🤗🥰
I love my beautiful white cabinets, large handles and gorgeous solid black honed countertops. I have had many types of cabinetry. Finally, I have a classic perfect kitchen.
Couldn't agree more. I was never so happy to see anything go out the door as my dark wooden cabinet doors. I always felt they were grimy, even though I cleaned them. Fresh white cabinetry is a classic that will never go out of style no matter what RUclipsrs say.
I’m in my mid-sixties and cannot get the harvest gold and avocado green out of my mind when I see trending colors. I know you’re not dissing white, but to me, it’s much safer than any other color choices!
I’m from the same generation and 100% agree with you. I cringe when I see the avocado and harvest gold we adored back in the day. It seems to me that the creams and light beiges are really just white after a good night’s sleep. I think they can be mixed together really creatively.
@@hiddenhighland If I had a ton of money, I could be creative! For me, if I were to go with color, I’d tire of it quickly - I know this from past experience! So, until I inherit tons of money from a forgotten great uncle, I have to error on the side of “safe”. 😂💵💸💰😂
I agree, I remember the avocado green and mustard colours in the 70s, they soon became too much. From years of experience the fixed items in kitchens, bathrooms and laundrys are very expensive to replace. Economically it's best to keep them basic and bring colours in in the paintwork, throws, towels, cushions, curtains, artwork etc.
@@elizabethk3238 Not at all! I have incorporated lots of colorful items on the counter, shelves and towels. Tons of color. The white background makes the colors pop.
My mothers kitchen was pale pink and it was wonderful! I am surprised at how people are so afraid of using color. I choose the colors most pleasing to ME! It is my kitchen, after all.
I agree. Unless you're short-term flipping, paint the colors you like. I'm not gonna live in a neutral toned home for decades because I plan to sell it someday.
Enjoyed this video:). We moved three years ago from a beautiful all gray home with white cabinets. I loved it but after so long I craved warmth. In this new home that we have renovated, I did light olive green lower cabinets and light beige upper cabinets and walls. We are very happy with the warmth. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.
We built in 2016. I used to work at Sherwin Williams for about 3 years and had my own faux finish/interior painting business for about 12 years. My motto for my own home is NO WHITE WALLS and NO WHITE CABINETS LOL!!! I love color. My own color choices are watery blue greens. We have an open concept house so the living, kitchen and dining are all one big room. We have maple cabinets with a coordinating quartz countertop and SW Meander Blue walls. We are in our 70's and pretty traditional. I had to kind of chuckle when you mentioned not relying on the name. We have a guest room and bathroom painted SW Cachet Cream. You would think that's an off white. But It's a buttery yellow color. I'm kind of surprised that the sages have hung on so long. You wouldn't believe how many gallons of SW Clary Sage I mixed while working at the store from 2002-2005 and used in my own business. Accessible Beige and many of the Greige colors were popular even back then. I have my own paint chip fan deck and choose my colors from that.
I just remodeled my white kitchen and just tweaked the white cabinets to Greek villa SW, it is a classic that never goes out of style. It is gorgeous. White on white was probably over done but white cabinets will always be in style.
By far some of the best most current and important information on paint colors and undertones. Great presentation, you have a great gift, thanks for sharing.
I love beige walls with woodwork with wood floors and warm earth tones of nature on everything else. It goes well with stone fireplace walls. I reside in the country side in a cozy home with earth tones, which goes well with the scenery.
Pam here…I had a white kitchen…no money for new. I painted my walls Warm Muffin by Behr Paints. It is a golden yellow that made everything POP and SPARKLE. It was essentially a neutral. I could do sage greens, grey blues, burgundies, eggplant colors with it. I don’t know the precise undertone in Warm Muffin…but I have used it for 15 plus years and people keep asking me what it is and Home Depot still has the formula and still makes it for anyone who asks for it.
Love that oil cloth. Try Avon Green Benjamin Moore if someone is in the Deep South and loves English traditional decor. Thank you for all your hard work.
I painted my kitchen with that darker blue 10 years ago! I'm finally trending 🤣 It is beautiful with a white walls and chopping block countertops. I have green accents and pieces as well.
Love my White Kitchen and the great thing about it you never get sick of it….Think long and hard and make sure you love the color…. My friend did grey cabinets spent thousand in renovation and now she hates it. So while you might like color and I get it ..Just make certain you can live with it .
I just painted the kitchen. I believe in paint colors that make people look attractive. So I went to the paint store, turned my arm over, and selected paint that matched the color of the pale skin under my forearm. The clerk came over to help me and was delighted with the idea. Since I'm a white person who was once a golden-haired urchin, the color is a pinky-yellow whitish neutral.
I'm house hunting and I cringe everytime I see the owners have painted the wood cabinets. Most people don't do a good job and they are streaky and the doors stick trying to open them. I'm much happier seeing kitchens with natural wood cabinets.
I have fond memories of the all-white kitchen in my first apartment. It was clean and bright and my collection of cobalt blue glasses really made it pop. I plan to paint my current kitchen before the end of the year and am leaning towards putty simply because that color works with the existing white appliances and I'm working with an open floor plan with a lot going on in the kitchen/living room space.
I’m glad she said that white will not go away. Just pick accents the color you want and you’ll see your kitchen change, less money and you get bored donate or sell your items and get new accessories with you’ll next color you like.
I remember going to the slab yard and finding this beautiful bathroom display. I bought this apricot and beige tile only to discover when the contractors installed the tile there was lots of grey in the tile too. Luckily I like the gray so the color schemes worked out nicely.
I am so happy I am not the only one, I cannot stand white kitchen cabinets they remind me of the medicine room in the hospital (I am a nurse) I loved deep wood colors, that is classic to me. No offense to anyone, naturally we all like different things. I look for houses online first and as soon as I see white cabinets I click OFF to the next one. I cannot see it as nice, I do not want to clean it 24/7. Thank you for making this video to show so many options.
As someone who used to mix paint the 3 most difficult colors to color match were grays, beiges and oddly enough, greens. Keep your paint color names, samples and brand names in a safe place!
anyone whos ever rented knows any kind of cream or off white color has been used to its death in apartments and truly hated color palette When I got my house I never wanted to see it again in my life its so depressing
I think with the current trend of white and off white interior wall colors ..you crave a bit of depth and color somewhere. Also white walls and white cabinets just doesn’t work in my humble opinion
Ashley, I love your content and find your videos so helpful. You are right on the latest trends and it's so helpful while I am in the midst of planning. Accessible beige is up there on my love list. I've stalked that image on your video (time stamp 4.40) - any idea what that cabinet color might be?? It is my fave for kitchen inspo pics. Just classic and giving that English cozy vibe too. THANKS!! Keep up the great work.
There will always be white kitchens. Colour is great until it isn’t and colour trends come and go but kitchens that cost 20-30 thousand dollars are not so easily changed out when designers decide on the new colour trends.
This video is so helpful! Exactly what I’m considering with my new build! I’m considering Stucco, Accessible Beige, or Natural Tan for my cabinets. I’m planning Alabaster for my walls & using it on bead board for my backsplash. How do you like your black leather granite? I’m considering that for my countertops! I’m looking at Basil for my kitchen island with a whitish quartz with some charcoal grayish veining.
Hi in the next couple of years I am going to completely rebuild the kitchen. My house was built in the early 30's towards the end of art deco. I am thinking of using the colour palette of the era but in a modern way. I know my budget won't allow for real stone but I am thinking french blue cabinets with butcher block counter tops with a cream/beige walls including subway tiles in a matching colour. I am undecided about the flooring I cant decide on a cream floor tile or traditional quarry tile or vinyl laminate.
What wall colour would you recommend for cabinets in that Creamy/green colour called Mussel, island in hunter green and Calcutta Ora quartz worktops tnk you.
White kitchens will always be classic. Add your trendy colors via accessories, wall paint and other details that can easily be swapped out, but never ever be told by the fickle design community that white kitchens are out.
I'm wondering if you watched my video? These are exactly my thoughts. In fact, I have a white kitchen and love it. White will always be timeless. However, many are asking for non white cabinet options, hence the reason for this video...
@@homelikeyoumeanitI did! In the very beginning and the end you told the audience if you love white stay with it, but the meat and potatoes of your message is, without saying it, color is fresher, newer, cooler. That's fine. It was a good video and I simply shared my thoughts.
The picture of the kitchen that everybody loves is beautiful because of the ceiling if you took away that warm wood ceiling that kitchen would fall completely flat. I get frustrated with designers who are talking about color and then show us rooms with architectural details that the rest of us can’t even afford.
I have accessible beige on all my walls with graphite color cabinets. I understand there is a green undertone in the paint. My hardwood floors are very close to the cabinet color. I have an open concept home. What color would you recommend for the accent color? What color would you void? I too have color drenching in my home.
I color drenched the butler’s pantry I built with BM Oil Cloth. When I was painting it on it looked brown and it sorta faked me out. Then when everything is done it’s definitely a grayed sage color. Looks great with the white oak shelves and it never shows dust. 😂
You can do uppers and lowers in different colors. I like doing island in a different color and then wall cabinets in the same though. Personal preference!
I have a simply white on top and hale navy on the bottom and curenetly trying to get a countertop and sink and backsplashes. Do you think getting quartz that's similar to simply white would be ideal? Thinking about getting black kitchen sink but dont know if white kitchen sink is better.. thank you!
I do think most of these are pretty, particularly the soft white tones. I would worry about coordinating wall color if my cabinets were any strong tone. It seems better to keep a very neutral cabinet and paint the walls or use the color you like in the accessories. Also, these are "trends" and cabinet color is not easy to change up.
My kitchen is very small, all the walls are Botany Beige and my cabinets are white. I have black appliances and my counter tops are granite with beige base with tans and browns with a touch of maroon. What would be the best color for my cabinets?
I thought it was outdated in about 2012 😂 Working in the trades everything is white on white on white. Got to the actual Painters house and it’s, grays, whites, blues. They’re sick of it too.
I started out the video by saying white cabinets were one of the most timeless and classic decisions you can make in a kitchen. I have white cabinets! This video is not for people that like white cabinets, but rather, for those that are looking for something else.
I'd go with a pretty, soft white like White Dove. Alternatively, you can go much darker (about 1.5 shades darker than Pale) but most people want a lighter color than that.
This was great, so informative! I am struggling with kitchen cabinets that I want to paint. I have not picked my new counter yet, however my walls are collingwood and I just don’t know what might compliment it. I do not want white cabinets. My trim is Chantilly lace. Would you have any idea what might work for me? I hate green, so any green undertone should kill me. Saying that sometimes I see green in collingwood, I have lots of windows and my sun room is where i see the green due to all the green outside. Help! Thanks in advance
Great ideas here. Thank you! How would you handle my situation: I am ordering cabinets but prefer to choose my own colors with more nuance from, say, Benjamin Moore. Does this increase the budget a lot? Do I pay for white or raw cabinets and then have a painter paint them?
@@homelikeyoumeanit Wow, fast response, thanks! I'm not sure I understand. I got bids from two local cabinet makers, but they only offer factory painted in a white and a beige. So, in your experience, how do you get custom colors like the ones you suggest? Or is that only for repainting and not new build? Or do I need to find a very high end cabinet maker to get more color choices?
Hello I decided on the SW Dutch Tile Blue for my kitchen cabinets, have light gray flooring and a all white counter top, now what would you suggest for the walls? Thank you.
If doing a neutral, look to what’s going on in your kitchen and room opening up to kitchen. This is a good place to start: ruclips.net/video/fHdhbbaoCBY/видео.htmlsi=VwyF7IE0JlUJ9T9r
I am planning a kitchen renovation and I am VERY partial to the Britannia Blue. However, my major concern how it will stand the test of time. Will it be a trend or just a passing fad?
Blue is never a passing fad. Although, you can argue that white kitchens are the most timeless. However, if you aren't moving for a while go for what you want. In general, most people love blue, so it's not a choice that will turn off homebuyers down the road. If you're asking for the safest choice, it's a pale neutral or a white, though.
Does anyone know A paint color to match Ikea Cabinet white cabinets from a few years ago instead of the woodgrain white which Ikea carries now. I am renovating and trying to match my older Ikea white cabinets by painting a new cabinet to match the original white. Any ideas are really welcome
Hi, First time viewer. Can you include LRV with all of the colors you mention? Only way I can judge how dark or light they are. Would you please review BM Navajo White, have been looking at that? Thnx
I grew up in a farmhouse and it was not white. Neither were my neighbors. We lived on a working farm. We all had wood stove and old coal stoves that meant black everywhere Old stoves means smoke and black on the walls and ceiling. No no white ! I don’t know where the farm house was white they were not. Pale yellow pale blue or just wood cabinets that were natural color wood. Every thing had to be washable. Fresh paint in the spring. Of course white appliances until the olive green or gold. Even the Shakers did not have white cabinets. Think about old farmhouses on a farm !!
Rly good video! Would white cabinets look good with beige-y countertops? I LOVE white (with light gray) but want to move towards warmer beige. Thank you! 😊😊😊
@@Marie-lf8ut Off whites look good with off-white quartz. Many times off-whites are too stark for beige and instead you need to look to pale beiges/creams.
Check out my video on green paint colors. White and even off white is pretty easy going with green. Green is in! The best green paint colors for your home ruclips.net/video/BlGyPuCPVp8/видео.html
Ugh! Is it me or did all those colors look like another side of gray-the only ones remotely different were the beige. Everything else, I felt, was in the gray family. Not what I consider warm colors at all.
Yep. The blues were all shades of grey. The greens and beiges all look very greyed-off. The beiges were all sort of safe. Why are people afraid of colour?
Wooden cabinets always classic and timeless!

I like natural wood cabinets but I have a small north facing kitchen that was sooo dark. White cabinets seemed to be the answer.
I don't have a white kitchen. But I love white kitchens with blue accents. Classic style, restful, and just beautiful.
I love my beautiful white cabinets, large handles and gorgeous solid black honed countertops. I have had many types of cabinetry. Finally, I have a classic perfect kitchen.
Sounds lovely! I have pretty much the same kitchen but just went with leathered black granite. How do you like the honed?

I bought a granite countertop with black in the stone and added a black back- splash which I never liked but the color is working out well now.

I’m from the same generation and 100% agree with you. I cringe when I see the avocado and harvest gold we adored back in the day. It seems to me that the creams and light beiges are really just white after a good night’s sleep. I think they can be mixed together really creatively.

You can warm up white cabinets by adding warm color in other areas (wood floors, wood accents and paint color).

Funny thing is that doctors offices are no longer white, but are these trending colors!
Amen to that. When my husband brought our home I was very disappointed about the kitchen not being white now I’m so happy with our natural wood

Accessible beige looks darker on my walls. I love the color.
Thank you so much for this video! I needed to learn what some beautiful shades of paint were available. Thank you!
I like mine just the opposite...white cabinetry and warm walls.
I hate beige and brown with a passion. My favorite cabinets of all time were my French yellow ones with a dark glaze on them and copper countertops.
anyone whos ever rented knows any kind of cream or off white color has been used to its death in apartments and truly hated color palette When I got my house I never wanted to see it again in my life its so depressing
AMEN!
Unpopular opinion: You can make any color not depressing by doing lots of decorating!
I agree! For me, it is not a color. White is the base before the colorants are added.
Would LOVE suggestions for darker neutrals, maybe with 30-50 LRV.
I think with the current trend of white and off white interior wall colors ..you crave a bit of depth and color somewhere. Also white walls and white cabinets just doesn’t work in my humble opinion
Agree! So glad people are bringing in some warmth!
Great video! Beautiful color choices. ❤️

Hi, thanks for watching! I’m not sure the exact color on that image. Sorry! I would try some of the beige colors though, because it is close.
A regret already is stainless appliances. Look very nice but a nightmare to maintain. Wish I’d have gone with black.
There will always be white kitchens. Colour is great until it isn’t and colour trends come and go but kitchens that cost 20-30 thousand dollars are not so easily changed out when designers decide on the new colour trends.

What wall colour would you recommend for cabinets in that Creamy/green colour called Mussel, island in hunter green and Calcutta Ora quartz worktops tnk you.
White kitchens will always be classic. Add your trendy colors via accessories, wall paint and other details that can easily be swapped out, but never ever be told by the fickle design community that white kitchens are out.
I'm wondering if you watched my video? These are exactly my thoughts. In fact, I have a white kitchen and love it. White will always be timeless. However, many are asking for non white cabinet options, hence the reason for this video...
@@homelikeyoumeanitI did! In the very beginning and the end you told the audience if you love white stay with it, but the meat and potatoes of your message is, without saying it, color is fresher, newer, cooler. That's fine. It was a good video and I simply shared my thoughts.
The picture of the kitchen that everybody loves is beautiful because of the ceiling if you took away that warm wood ceiling that kitchen would fall completely flat. I get frustrated with designers who are talking about color and then show us rooms with architectural details that the rest of us can’t even afford.
its really not that hard to DIY, theres. crap ton on how to do this. not as expensive as you think.
I love the way your cabinets look on camera. What color did you use? It's so warm.
she mentioned it - Britannia Blue by Benjamin Moore
The ones in the kitchen are BM white dove.
I have accessible beige on all my walls with graphite color cabinets. I understand there is a green undertone in the paint. My hardwood floors are very close to the cabinet color. I have an open concept home. What color would you recommend for the accent color? What color would you void? I too have color drenching in my home.
Thank you for the video! Any recommendations for a good place to buy knobs and pulls?
Yes, top knobs are the best!
I love the blue on the top part of your wall! What is the name of the color?
Britannia blue!
I color drenched the butler’s pantry I built with BM Oil Cloth. When I was painting it on it looked brown and it sorta faked me out. Then when everything is done it’s definitely a grayed sage color. Looks great with the white oak shelves and it never shows dust. 😂
Could you mix color cabinets? Maybe white upper cabinets and Gray or another color bottom cabinets or would you just stay with all white?
You can do uppers and lowers in different colors. I like doing island in a different color and then wall cabinets in the same though. Personal preference!
I have a simply white on top and hale navy on the bottom and curenetly trying to get a countertop and sink and backsplashes. Do you think getting quartz that's similar to simply white would be ideal? Thinking about getting black kitchen sink but dont know if white kitchen sink is better.. thank you!
Most quartz will work really well with Simply White. From personal experience, I'd forgo the white and choose stainless steel.
I do think most of these are pretty, particularly the soft white tones. I would worry about coordinating wall color if my cabinets were any strong tone. It seems better to keep a very neutral cabinet and paint the walls or use the color you like in the accessories. Also, these are "trends" and cabinet color is not easy to change up.
My kitchen is very small, all the walls are Botany Beige and my cabinets are white. I have black appliances and my counter tops are granite with beige base with tans and browns with a touch of maroon. What would be the best color for my cabinets?
I thought it was outdated in about 2012 😂
Working in the trades everything is white on white on white.
Got to the actual Painters house and it’s, grays, whites, blues.
They’re sick of it too.
GET WHITE WHITE WHITE. -- BEAUTIFUL NEW FRIDGES AND OVENS COMING OUT - THIS GAL DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE!!!!!
I started out the video by saying white cabinets were one of the most timeless and classic decisions you can make in a kitchen. I have white cabinets! This video is not for people that like white cabinets, but rather, for those that are looking for something else.
but not everyone has the cute quarts countertop to match these colors
What’s your opinion of BM Intrigue for cabinet color?
Very pretty color!
What cabinet colors are best for a north facing kitchen? These all seem to be for bright kitchens and I don't have enough outlets to add lamps.
If you use pale oak on upper and lower cabinets and stain on island what color would you go with? What color would you go with on walls.
I'd go with a pretty, soft white like White Dove. Alternatively, you can go much darker (about 1.5 shades darker than Pale) but most people want a lighter color than that.
Can you recommend a cleaner for the cabinets prior to painting them and I would imagine we have to sand slightly?
Plain old TSP
Sand with 220 grit and then 300.
I have assessible beige on walls with white cabinets
This was great, so informative! I am struggling with kitchen cabinets that I want to paint. I have not picked my new counter yet, however my walls are collingwood and I just don’t know what might compliment it. I do not want white cabinets. My trim is Chantilly lace. Would you have any idea what might work for me? I hate green, so any green undertone should kill me. Saying that sometimes I see green in collingwood, I have lots of windows and my sun room is where i see the green due to all the green outside. Help! Thanks in advance
Collingwood is a gray with a violet undertone, so you need to stay in that family if you want to do a neutral cabinet.
My walls are already beige should I still paint cabinets beige or go with olive green
Great ideas here. Thank you! How would you handle my situation: I am ordering cabinets but prefer to choose my own colors with more nuance from, say, Benjamin Moore. Does this increase the budget a lot? Do I pay for white or raw cabinets and then have a painter paint them?
Your best bet is to find a local cabinet maker. Their paint process will hold up much, much better than having someone paint them after the fact.
@@homelikeyoumeanit Wow, fast response, thanks! I'm not sure I understand. I got bids from two local cabinet makers, but they only offer factory painted in a white and a beige. So, in your experience, how do you get custom colors like the ones you suggest? Or is that only for repainting and not new build? Or do I need to find a very high end cabinet maker to get more color choices?
@@jeanetteoki1866I would
Keep looking. There are many cabinet makers that will do any color you want!
Hello I decided on the SW Dutch Tile Blue for my kitchen cabinets, have light gray flooring and a all white counter top, now what would you suggest for the walls? Thank you.
If doing a neutral, look to what’s going on in your kitchen and room opening up to kitchen. This is a good place to start: ruclips.net/video/fHdhbbaoCBY/видео.htmlsi=VwyF7IE0JlUJ9T9r
What is your wall colour beside white kitchen cabinets?, when showing what colour works with countertops. Thanks for helpful when choosing colours.
The walls in my kitchen are BM Balboa Mist.
@@homelikeyoumeanit thanks for quick response re wall colour!
Where do you get large scale samples of the paint colors like you showed?
You can get something similar using samplize!
Can white counters pair with the beige or taupe cabinets?
Yes! Find warm whites that have either beige or taupe undertones.
I am planning a kitchen renovation and I am VERY partial to the Britannia Blue. However, my major concern how it will stand the test of time. Will it be a trend or just a passing fad?
Blue is never a passing fad. Although, you can argue that white kitchens are the most timeless. However, if you aren't moving for a while go for what you want. In general, most people love blue, so it's not a choice that will turn off homebuyers down the road. If you're asking for the safest choice, it's a pale neutral or a white, though.
@@homelikeyoumeanit Thank you. I appreciate your input. ❤❤
What about Sherwin Williams "Drift of Mist"? I can't tell its undertone at all...
Drift of Mist is very, very tricky. Has many undertones.
The point is some are always going to want an all white kitchen, but it is not for everyone.
Timeless is the way to go. Why follow trends? Trends come and go.
Does anyone know A paint color to match Ikea Cabinet white cabinets from a few years ago instead of the woodgrain white which Ikea carries now. I am renovating and trying to match my older Ikea white cabinets by painting a new cabinet to match the original white. Any ideas are really welcome
Hi, First time viewer. Can you include LRV with all of the colors you mention? Only way I can judge how dark or light they are. Would you please review BM Navajo White, have been looking at that? Thnx
Sure thing! Love Navajo white. Does have an orange undertone, so it’s not for everyone. Very warm, welcoming color.
@@homelikeyoumeanit Thank you so much!
@@homelikeyoumeanit Thank you so much!
I grew up in a farmhouse and it was not white. Neither were my neighbors. We lived on a working farm. We all had wood stove and old coal stoves that meant black everywhere Old stoves means smoke and black on the walls and ceiling. No no white ! I don’t know where the farm house was white they were not. Pale yellow pale blue or just wood cabinets that were natural color wood. Every thing had to be washable. Fresh paint in the spring. Of course white appliances until the olive green or gold. Even the Shakers did not have white cabinets. Think about old farmhouses on a farm !!
Rly good video! Would white cabinets look good with beige-y countertops? I LOVE white (with light gray) but want to move towards warmer beige. Thank you! 😊😊😊
White is typically too stark for beige countertops.
@@homelikeyoumeanitugh. It I LOVE white cabinets lol! Any suggestions on a color granite or quartzite countertop? 🙏🏻
Trust yourself!
@@homelikeyoumeanitI don't agree. You are suggesting off whites in other kitchen surfaces. Why not counter tops? Strange
@@Marie-lf8ut Off whites look good with off-white quartz. Many times off-whites are too stark for beige and instead you need to look to pale beiges/creams.
Do you know a green color that I can paint my kitchen island that will be okay with white cabinets.
Check out my video on green paint colors. White and even off white is pretty easy going with green. Green is in! The best green paint colors for your home

All white cabinets in our are zip speak fluff and duff flip properties
Ugh! Is it me or did all those colors look like another side of gray-the only ones remotely different were the beige. Everything else, I felt, was in the gray family. Not what I consider warm colors at all.
Yep. The blues were all shades of grey. The greens and beiges all look very greyed-off. The beiges were all sort of safe. Why are people afraid of colour?
The decorators have to change everything after you spend all the money. Keep anything long enough and it will be back in style again.
❤❤❤
Grey is out and beige is boring. I am buying a new home and doing white or soft white cabinets and light wood floors with a black island and hardware.
Love this. This is how my kitchen is, minus the black hardware.
