Not into white? Try one of these deliciously colorful kitchen cabinet possibilities
White kitchens cabinets continue to be popular, but if you’d prefer to use more color there are so many options beyond popular blue, wood or gray. Here we celebrate 13 pleasing cabinet colors you may not have considered. Which color would make you feel happiest in your kitchen
1. Light blue-green. There’s an endless variety of blues to consider, but blue-greens, with their water-like feeling, can be especially refreshing. This beachy shade brings a sense of calm to its Atlanta kitchen.

2. Dusty mauve and turquoise. And unexpected combination of warm mauve and cool turquoise in this kitchen feels both fun and balanced. The backsplash marries the room’s tones thanks to the warmth of the copper and its cooler patina.

3. Periwinkle. This butler’s pantry off a kitchen in Boise, Idaho, embraces periwinkle paint for the cabinets from ceiling to floor. A pantry area can be a fun place to embrace a bold color, though here glass cabinet fronts help tone down the strong choice. The cabinet interiors in the pantry are oiled cherrywood and the main kitchen has the inverse cabinet color scheme, with oiled cherry for the exteriors and periwinkle paint on the interiors.
The homeowner seems confident about quirky decor choices; if you click on the photo to enlarge it, you can just see a cheeky George Washington head decorative piece to the left of the sink.
4. Purple-blue. The cabinets in this New York kitchen bring an elegantly playful feel to an otherwise neutral kitchen.Yellow accessories offer punchy contrast with the power of color theory behind them: Yellow and purple are complementary colors, meaning they are opposite each other on the color wheel.

5. Peach. Modern flat-panel cabinets get a warm touch from their peach color in this kitchen in Minsk, Belarus. The cabinet color picks up on the peach in the natural stone backsplash, which has an agate-like pattern.
Cabinet paint: Beige Red, RAL
6. Coral. The deep color of the cabinets on this kitchen island in Minneapolis draws the eye. This is one way to make a mostly white kitchen more colorful (black counters also help).
