Choosing a kitchen cabinet paint color is more than just picking something pretty. The color of your cabinets sets the mood, affects resale value, and needs to hold up to daily life. With the latest Sherwin-Williams Colormix and Color Capsule palettes, 2025 is all about warm neutrals, earthy jewel tones, softer contrasts, and thoughtful finishes. We have our updated list of favorite cabinet paint colors, trends, and expert tips to help you find a cabinet hue you’ll love for years.

A Quick View of Trending Colors: 

• Earthy Neutrals & Greige: Browns, warm grays, and greiges have replaced stark cool grays in recent color trends. These tones bring warmth and versatility. 
• Grounding Dark Hues: Rather than true black paint, people this year are opting for deep charcoals, espresso browns, or very dark browns with subtle undertones. 
• Organic Greens & Soft Blues: Earthy greens, sage, and blue-grays are big in 2025, especially when paired with natural wood or warm metals. 
• Accent & Statement Hues: Pops of color are coming back through kitchen islands or lower cabinets. Think bold jewel tones or warm, vibrant shades. 

Sherwin-Williams Colormix Color Recommendations 

Warm and Grounded Neutrals: 

Neutrals remain a staple in 2025, but instead of stark whites or cold grays, we’re seeing earthier shades that feel inviting and flexible. 

• Grounded SW 6089: Rich earthen brown. Great new neutral for base cabinets that anchor the space. 
• Sunbleached SW 9585: Light, airy neutral that is deeper than white, but not quite gray or beige. Perfect for uppers or perimeter cabinets. 

Pro Tip: Pair these shades with brass or aged gold hardware for an elevated, yet approachable look.

Calming Blues & Natural Greens

Nature-inspired colors are still leading the way in 2025. Soft greens and grayed blues bring serenity and timeless appeal to the kitchen. 

• Rain Cloud SW 9639: A stormy gray-blue that adds calm and modern elegance without the harshness of pure gray. 
• Slow Green SW 6456: Earthy, muted green that pairs beautifully with natural wood and warm metallic hardware. 

Pro Tip: These shades shine in kitchens with lots of natural light and pair beautifully with natural wood shelving. 

Dramatic & Bold Accents

For homeowners who want to make a statement, dark, moody hues and warm accent shades are trending in 2025. 

• Clove SW 9605: A nearly-black brown. Dramatic but warm. Great as an accent or for lower cabinetry. 
• Bosc Pear SW 6390: Golden, organic tone that works as a warm accent, especially with light countertops or open shelving. 

Pro Tip: Use bold colors on lower cabinets or your kitchen island while keeping upper light for balance.
