What Colors Work Well in a Kitchen? Design Experts' Advice on Choosing a Color Scheme That Oozes Style

Color has an immense effect on how we feel in our daily lives. As the kitchen is considered to be a core space in a home where everybody gathers, it’s imperative to channel the right palette for you, so that when greeted by it each day, it makes you happy.

Your kitchen color ideas should be selected to work with the other finishes in the space — worktops, hardware, floors, and backsplash — and to compose the most cohesive design. "Color combinations that work well in a kitchen include hues that offer subtle contrast bringing all the kitchen finishes together, high-contrast colors that bring energy to the space, and lastly, neutrals that allow you to infuse personality into the kitchen," explains Ashley Banbury, the color marketing manager at HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams.
