So, after cleaning my entire kitcehn for the summer time I have decided that I want to give it some color. The walls have been the same color since I first moved in...White. I have a light wood color for my cabinets, all white appliances, and white tile.

SO, what color should I go for?

    A pale yellow always looks nice in the Kitchen - or at the least a pale color depending on how much light you get in there - but dark colors make rooms look smaller so also depending on size my help you decide what color to go with

    I'd stick with a relatively light color. Dark kitchens just don't seem very inviting. I painted my last one a lovely shade of periwinkle blue. It was a great contrast to the white cabinets.

    What colors do you like? What colors do you have in your house? You could do a sky blue, a seafoam or sage green, peach or a pale terra cotta type color. There are lots of great options depending on what other decorations you may have or may like to add.

    I just remodeled my entire kitchen with cream white cabinets. I painted 3 walls a sunflower yellow, and 1 wall a terracotta red. I love the results.

    I'd say either orange, which seems to be the popular answer, or teal. That's just my opinion. :flowerforyou:

    Aside from the natural light how is the other lighting? You don't want to go too dark of a color in the kitchen.

    If you eat in your kitchen paint it blue-shade depends on your light. or a cool green. Avoid red, yellow , orange. Fast food restaurants use those colors to stimulate and make you want to eat more. My kitchen is red, but I eat in purple dining room. Small blue or purple plates help you eat less too

    A beautiful sage or moss green.....nice muted color that goes well with almost anything. I've had in my my living room for years and I haven't gotten tired of it. It goes with beige, rusty reds, yellows....etc. I love it

    Here's a picture of my kitchen. It is fairly small. I don't eat in it. I actually am trying to become a minimalist so I am slowly getting rid of things (today was my kitchen table...)


    For some reason it doesn't work >.< oh well, THANK YOU everyone for the different ideas! I will be going paint shopping tomorrow and getting a major upper body workout sometime this week!
