North-facing kitchens often get a bad rep as being dark and dreary. However, a big reason for this is that so many of us choose a colour with completely the wrong undertones that don't work with the cool, flat light typical in a north-facing kitchen.
Committing to a kitchen colour scheme without making note of the undertones of your chosen colours has the potential to lead to serious renovation regret. Undertones are the subtle colour that exists under the main colour; it's this colour that often dictates if a colour is deemed 'warm' or 'cold' and whether it will work in a north-facing kitchen or not.
