The best colors to refresh your kitchen

The kitchen tends to be the place people gather. How many times during a gathering do you find most people gathered in the kitchen instead of 'cozier' places? However, it makes sense. The kitchen is where the food and drinks, and thus life, love, and connection, comes from. 

Our collection of the best colors to refresh your kitchen are rooted in trending color palettes to keep you connected to nature and your loved ones. Lean in to the cerulean trend with Benjamin Moore's Brilliant Blue, get ahead of the curve with a rust-toned color like Sherwin-William's Cayenne, or pick a green with staying power like Benjamin Moore's Saybrook Sage. Choose a few samples from the collection to find the right color for your style.

  • Great Service

    Samplize saves a ton of time and effort. There's no way I would be able to consider this many different colors if I had to buy a little pot of paint for every single one. I also like how you can easily move the stickers around to see them in different parts of the room and they don't get any less adhesive.

  • Excellent Product

    Loved everything about this product-being able to see the colour and move it to different walls and rooms, the portability, the small bottom pieces that can fit in a wallet when shopping. Whoever designed this product is a genius! Will without a doubt, be using this product again!

  • An Eye Opener

    No more squinting at tiny chips and trying to picture them as walls. Samplize lets you live with the colors right on your walls as the light changes - without adhering permanent color.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What's the best color for a kitchen?

A soft white is both timeless and versatile, capable of making a kitchen feel bright and open. Warm greige or taupe adds subtle depth and pairs well with both light and dark cabinetry. Earthy sage or dusty blue lends a calm and natural vibe. It’s best to sample a range of promising options to see for yourself how each color behaves in your particular kitchen space.

What is the color trend in kitchens?

Kitchen design in 2025 has trended away from all-white palettes and toward a harmonious blend of warm neutrals and nature-inspired hues. From earthy greens, creams, and light browns to coastal blue tones, these colors are helping kitchens feel as welcoming as they are functional.

Should kitchen paint color be light or dark?

Smaller kitchens benefit from lighter colors, which reflect the light and make the room feel more open and spacious. Larger kitchens, on the other hand, often work best with dark colors, which can warm up the space while adding drama and personality. Sample a few options to make sure you’re happy with your choice before painting!

What color kitchen sells for the most?

A charcoal gray or midtone gray kitchen can enhance your home's marketability and potentially increase its sale price, offering a modern, elegant, and widely appealing aesthetic.

Which color is not good for the kitchen?

Avoid neon shades, stark black, and icy grays—anything that can feel overwhelming or uninviting. Dark browns or muddy tones may also make the kitchen feel dated.
