Sponge Paint Colors for Kitchen!?

When you mix red with a glaze, it will most likely be pink in your application. Try doing some samples.

Dip a feather in some white paint and feather it on to a black basecoated sample, go for a marble effect. Also try it in a Gold, not YELLOW, but gold.

Layers of soft color. Subtle texture. A warm, welcoming look. You can create all of it and have fun in the process. Sponging is perhaps the easiest decorative technique to learn. You'll need a natural sea sponge, glaze and two or three colors of paint to produce a wonderful interplay of dimensional color and texture. With sponging, you can add personality and interest to your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom or child's room.

Red is the most powerful color, so you don't often see pure red used in large amounts. It creates excitement, and it's the favored color on sports cars and fire trucks alike. If you ever wondered why red is so popular in dining rooms, restaurants and movie theaters, science has proven that red stimulates the appetite (so you may want to avoid it if you're watching your weight). Yellow and orange are the "sunny" colors, and they bring an atmosphere of warmth. Yellow, by itself, is one of the most difficult colors for the eye to process; thus, some believe it works better in hallways than in living areas because people tend to tire of it quickly (though in very light values, it makes larger rooms feel cheery). The range of warm colors includes popular ones such as peach, terracotta and brown, all of which owe their warmth to red and yellow.

Go and look at samples of tile, marble and or rock for the inspiration of your colors. FInd one that has the black base and then the accenting colors of the cabinets, flooring, appliances etc... use this as your plan for painting or sponging the walls. Your patterns so to say you can draw from the tiles that you looked at.

Hope this helps and good luck!

I immediately thought of soft yellow - before I read the details to your question. I would still consider soft yellow to continue the flow from the dining room. It's kind of hard to say without seeing the rooms, but if not the yellow, then maybe a lighter shade of the same color tone of the copper panels. You could also pick up one of the beige colors from the tile. Kitchens seem to look better if the colors aren't too dark, so if your cabinets are medium to dark, then I would definitely choose a lighter color to paint the walls.

If you go to Lowes or Home Depot, they have samples of various sponge color schemes. Might be a good place to get inspiration. WIthout seeing the bigger picture in the kitchen, it would be hard for anyone to give much guidance.

well my sister did somethin like this she had this rele cool goldish color on her walls and it is sponged on top of black.....I would try it, and there living room is a broght color like ornage and yellow! and to accent it try things along the line of wine... such as a winery theme!

Try yellow. Yellow+black is chic and urban... Red+black is too gothic and vampirish.

you could do white
