What color to paint cabinets if the countertop is white?

Question

Answer 1

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think it would look way cool if you paint your cupboards a dark blue-gray called "granite slab" (# 7196) from their SandScapes faux finish collection. The paint has the texture of sand, so it will add an interesting element to the room.

Answer 2

yellow or red

Answer 3

classic black. My friend has black cabinets and they can fit two very opposing styles--country/vintage or contemporary. They look country if they are distressed which is what she did. Contemporary if you put enamel or high-gloss on them.
