Best Kitchen Cabinet Paint Colors for 2025

Kitchen cabinet colors set the tone for your entire kitchen. In 2025, Richmond homeowners are moving toward richer, more expressive palettes while classic whites remain a perennial favorite. Here are the colors we are painting most frequently — and why they work.

Pure White and Creamy Off-White remain the most popular cabinet colors in Richmond kitchens. They brighten spaces, complement virtually any countertop and backsplash, and have a timeless quality that will not feel dated in 5 years. Sherwin-Williams Extra White and Benjamin Moore White Dove are two of our most-requested shades.

Warm Gray and Greige tones offer the sophistication of gray without the coldness. Cabinet colors like Sherwin-Williams Agreeable Gray and Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter read differently in every kitchen depending on the light and surrounding materials — warm and inviting in south-facing kitchens, cool and modern in brightly lit spaces.

Deep Blue and Navy are the bold choice for Richmond homeowners who want a kitchen that makes a statement. Painted lower cabinets in navy blue with white upper cabinets and brass hardware is one of the most striking kitchen designs of the decade. Benjamin Moore Hale Navy and Sherwin-Williams Naval are the go-to shades.

Sage Green and Soft Olive have surged in popularity in 2025, driven by the broader movement toward earthy, nature-inspired interiors. Sage green cabinets pair beautifully with warm wood tones, butcher block counters, and aged brass hardware. They are a softer alternative to navy for homeowners who want color without the drama.
