Painted Kitchen Cabinets
Lots of companies make painted kitchen cabinets, but the color palette differs from one manufacturer to the next. Most make white and off white painted kitchen cabinets, but there are some other colors available.
I’ve perused some of the bigger cabinet manufacturers’ websites and was able to dig up a few for you to look at. Obviously, there are more painted kitchen cabinets available out there that are not mentioned in this article.
Kabinart:

These three painted kitchen cabinets are from Kabinart. They’re a Nashville company that makes plywood cabinets, and have a few solid colors. Kabinart is constantly adding door styles and colors though, so don’t be surprised if there are more painted cabinet finishes when you read this than there are as I currently write it.
These are all maple doors. On the left is Ivory, then Aged Ebony, and on the right is Starlite. Starlite is interesting in that it’s kind of a pastey painted finish, rather than a regular white or off white.
Kraftmaid:

I found a couple of unique painted kitchen cabinets on Kraftmaid’s site. On the left is their Willow color, but in a “vintage” state. The color itself is a little different shade than I’m used to seeing, and the aging helps give it some character. On the right is another painted finish; Kraftmaid calls it Biscotti. While it’s kind of an off white, it has a little more yellow to it than a lot of other manufacturers painted kitchen cabinet finishes.
Diamond:

Here are three doors I’m used to seeing; I work at a Diamond dealer, so I encounter door samples in these colors every day. As opposed as I was to painted kitchen cabinets even a year ago (just for my own home… I like seeing wood grain) I have to admit that these colors have grown on me.
On the left is Tidal Mist. It’s a blue kind of painted finish, and distressed in this picture. There’s also a glaze. Moss is in the middle. You have to see the door to appreciate it. I didn’t like it the first few times I saw it online. Like I said earlier though, the color is nicely done.
On the right is my current favorite, in the “Diamond Painted Kitchen Cabinet Finishes” department. It’s called Butternut, and reminds me a lot of butterscotch candy.
Well, there are a few painted kitchen cabinet finishes for you to ponder. As I said earlier, there are many companies I haven’t mentioned that may very well have colors of their own. If you go into a kitchen showroom, be sure to ask what’s available for painted cabinet finishes; there may not be a display or a sample door handy, and the designer you speak to might not even know of a particular finish if it’s a new enough color.
