Colors affect how we feel and cause changes in mood. In today’s post, your trusted local kitchen remodelers at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Hollywood explain some colors to avoid with your next kitchen painting project.
Colors You Should Avoid
- Eggshell – Back in the day, neutral eggshell was the color of choice for kitchens across the country. Eventually, eggshell lost its appeal, becoming a relic of a former era. Painting your kitchen in eggshell today could make your kitchen appear dull and dated.
- Dark shades of gray – Shades of gray are commonly associated with dreariness or gloominess. While dark gray is a popular color in certain areas of the home, it can create an uninviting atmosphere in the kitchen.
- Pantone 448 C – Pantone 448 C is rated one of the ugliest paint colors by kitchen remodeling contractors and homeowners alike. This green-brown hue is associated with dirt and grime, and some people even label the color as cringeworthy.
Consider the Cabinets
One important detail that some homeowners forget is to pick a kitchen color that harmonizes with the cabinetry, without looking dull or monotonous. It’s good to have some degree of color variation in your kitchen. Overall, you should avoid using dark or bold colors as these colors sometimes evoke negative emotions. It’s better to stick to lighter, neutral colors if you want to keep your home’s value high while improving the atmosphere. A skilled kitchen designer will keep your personal tastes in mind and find a way to make left-field colors work.
