What color is ideal for the Kitchen?

Because kitchens have wall cabinets, base cabinets and appliances, there is not a lot of wall space in a kitchen.

Therefore, you can get away with a bolder color shade.

If you go to the Benjamin Moore paint web site, you will find a tool to virtually pick out your kitchen layout and then add any color of paint to "see" the results of that paint color in your space before you even pick up a paint brush.

Personally, I love a lighter shade of apple green (not lime green). A shade of terra cotta can look great with light colored cabinets.

If your cabinets are dark, paint the walls a light shade in a color you like. If the cabinets are light, then you can go bolder with the colors.

If you have canisters or other things you love to display in your kitchen, pick a paint color to coordinate with those things. This will automatically make your room cohesive.

Blues, greens, purples, and other colors in similar families do not promote hunger, and in some cases even curb it. Thus, they don't work as well in kitchens. However, if you're fortunate enough to have a dining area completely divorced from the kitchen, there is less of a pressing need to lay down colors conducive to eating.

Something light that will create an open feeling is usually best. I have seen dramatic, dark kitchens but that look does not work in every home. Whites, grays, place yellows, and paler earth tones are best.

White?

duck egg blue is nice for a kitchen

Depends on the colours and sizes of the fittings, but mine is light apple green
