The good thing about paints and colors is that if you hate the current paint, you can always re-do it! However, when it comes to your kitchen cabinets, that can be a lot of work. This means you have to take some time before you go ahead with cabinet painting, so you don't end up choosing a color you don't like. Apart from that, cabinets are not too cheap. According to Home Advisor, cabinets generally account for 40% to 50% of the total kitchen remodeling costs. Here are some common colors that you can use for cabinet painting.

Light Gray

If you choose light gray, it's best to prime your cabinets with a standard white primer. This will deliver a clean and clear backdrop so you can get a finish that's as close to your chosen color as possible. Also, when you are using light gray, it's best to stick with semigloss paint. You might need to hand paint the cabinets if you want the best outcome. If the paint becomes dirty, scratched, or chipped, you can easily do some touch-ups by hand and it will be restored in no time at all.

A Combination of White and Dark Gray

White and dark gray are very popular kitchen colors for cabinet painting. Dark gray will help ground your design. It can also make whatever hardware you use pop against the background. It's important to paint the kitchen in a way that makes them light. Dark gray alone might not give this impression. This is why it makes sense to combine white with the darker color. That way, you can keep your kitchen from looking too dull. Both white and gray work quite well with stainless steel appliances.

White

A crisp white works well in the kitchen, too. It enables other design elements to pop up and stand out. For instance, if you have a black stove or a wooden island then these will take center stage to a clean background. This is why most people love white. The outcomes always look great.
