Popular Kitchen Cabinet Colors for 2022

For decades you really had two major options when it came to kitchen cabinet colors: natural stain, or white. Sure, there were other trends that flared up here and there, but those have been the major pillars for quite a while.

And guess what? Both are still “in.” We paint a LOT of white cabinets here in San Diego, and those crisp, clean, inviting palettes are as attractive as ever.

But we’re also seeing a shift in cabinet color trends.

Here are a few key reasons why.

• They offer a timeless look. We hate saying “trendy” because that has a kind of negative connotation since trends are so fickle. Blue and green are trendy for sure, but they’re also a timeless choice with an evergreen popularity that just happens to be particularly popular right now.
• So many options! By picking different shades and hues you can smoothly pivot from a warm, country vibe to ultra-modern. Still blue or green, but just playing with the specific variety.
• Calming and natural. Both blue and green are colors rooted in nature, and proven to create feelings of calm and tranquility. Perfect for busy central spaces!
• Pairs well with natural stain. Combining paint and natural wood finishes is another timeless look, and both blue and green work very well with stained accents. Think exposed shelving, butcher block counters, and even finished wood floors.

Since there’s no substitute for seeing a real-life example, be sure to click through the photos up above. Our client chose to paint over the existing white, adding fresh style and a new depth of character. A bold move, but it paid off!
