Her cabinetry is painted in Sherwin Williams Alabaster White SW 7008 and her island Benjamin Moore 2124-40 Thundercloud Gray. We featured Julie's kitchen once before in our kitchen design ideas post along with other creative and beautiful kitchen designs.

Chasitiy, over at Love Hurtts, has painted her cabinets in SW 7008 Alabaster White as well.
They pop right off that wall and look great paired with the brick backsplash.
White paint is timeless, but not all white paint is created equal. There's just something special about Sherwin Williams Alabaster White that looks great anywhere you paint it.
SHERWIN WILLIAMS PURE WHITE CABINETS
In the kitchen of Kylie, from Kylie M. Interiors, there is Pure White SW 7005 cabinetry with a stunning island painted in a bold SW 7076 Cyberspace paint by Sherwin Williams.
Sometimes a splash of a darker color can make white look ever so crisp.

POPULAR GRAY SHERWIN WILLIAMS PAINT COLOR
Gray colors are very popular this year and grey is finding its way onto cabinets. Most sold gray cabinet colors are repose gray and mindful gray.
REPOSE GRAY CABINETS
We've shared Jackie's, from Finding Lovely, breathtaking kitchen before in our Sherwin Williams Repose Gray post.
When you choose a neutral paint color like repose gray SW7015, it is easy to add accents that take center stage.
The chunky beams and rustic floating shelves add great character to Jackie's kitchen.
Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray Cabinet
Another popular trendy color for kitchen cabinets is Mindful Gray SW 7016. This color is a little darker and richer than Repose gray so if you want more depth of grey tones then Mindful gray is your color.
Favorite Cabinet Paint Colors
While doing our research to find the most sold and popular cabinet paint colors we found a few personal favorites to share too.
SENSIBLE HUE PAINTED CABINETS
Sensible Hue SW 6198 is a tricky color. Depending on the lighting, this color can look gray, green, or blue.
It looks amazing in Krystal's, from Unapologetic Home, kitchen.
She has a rustic look going on with her wood island, so this gray-green color looks great.
SHERWIN WILLIAMS GRAY CUSTOM CABINET COLOR
Allie, from Mrs. DIY, gave her kitchen a makeover by painting her kitchen cabinets with a custom gray color from Sherwin Williams.
The blend for the custom color is in the picture above, so if you love Allie's cabinets, you can take this into your local Sherwin Williams and they will mix it up for you.
You might remember, not to long ago, we shared Allie's fireplace in our fireplace makeover post.
We're pretty smitten with her home.
SHERWIN WILLIAMS PEPPERCORN ISLAND
At Sarah Williams Home, she has a beautiful kitchen island that's painted a striking Peppercorn SW 7674 color.
It's great if you're looking for an accent color to add a darker color to the island if you have light-colored cabinets. Some trending Sherwin Williams accent colors are Smoky Blue and Pewter Green.
SHERWIN WILLIAMS OLIVE GROVE CABINETS
Ashley Beseda has painted her cabinetry since we last featured her in our farmhouse backsplash post.
She went from white cabinets to this beautiful rustic Olive Grove color, SW 7734, and it's stunning.
BENJAMIN MOORE OXFORD WHITE CABINETS
Did you know that if you find a color by another paint brand Sherwin Williams can mix it for you too? Yes, if you love a particular color like we love Rebecca's white kitchen all you have to do is tell Sherwin William staff and they will mix it up.
Our friend Rebecca, from House of Douglas, has her cabinets in a popular white color by Benjamin Moore. She has used Oxford White CC-30.
It makes her kitchen look dreamy. And speaking of dreamy you have to check out her Instagram which is so much fun to follow.
Another great white paint by Benjamin Moore is their Chantilly Lace. We featured cabinets that we painted for a client called, Best White Paint For Interior Walls For That Fresh Farmhouse Look.
After you pick out your cabinet paint color you might be thinking about all the other details that will polish your kitchen design look. For example cabinet hardware and new faucet.
These two things can update a kitchen makeover. I share how to choose the best faucet for your kitchen in another post that will help you pick on that will fit your design and serve your kitchen needs.

Painting over stained cabinets from1998. Want a bright but warm white and then I’d like a suggestion for a wall color… a slight taupe or .
cream that contrasts the cabinets just enough, but still keeps things neutral.
HELP ! Everything looks wrong when I get it home!
Linda McDonald says
It is challenging picking a paint color from a small swatch. Look at Alabaster for a bright warm white. Pick up four of the paint chips so you can tape them together to make a larger sample. Also, make sure to look at your color during the day and place it on something white. If it is touching another color it will take on that color and changes its appearance. I hope this helps and good luck!

For an open floor plan that has sw agreeable gray walls and sw extra white trim, can I get away with painting kitchen cabinets BM White Dove? The countertops are warm and creamy, so I don’t think I can use SW Extra White on them, but don’t want the cabinets to clash either. The other thought is other thought is SW Pure White on the cabinets. Would that be warm enough and a possible good compromise? I really do not want to repaint walls and trim. Thanks!
Linda McDonald says
Let me make sure I understand. Walls are agreeable gray and trim extra white and countertops are a warm off white tone. Is that correct? Is this warm white tone look yellowish? If that is the case I would look at pure white if I want my cabinets to be white.
When I decided to paint my cabinets I cleaned and primed one side of a lower cabinet then added the color I was considering. I left it there for a couple of days to see how it changed with different lighting. If you try this it will give you more confidence in the color you choose. Also, I only bought sample paint for testing.
I hope this helps and good luck!

Hello! We are starting new construction with the modern farmhouse feel, very high ceilings & open concept kitchen and living room! Keep questioning whether to go with a white or gray SW cabinets and island color but I want light and airy flow feel for the spaces! Any help… thank you!!
Linda McDonald says
If your walls and trim are all white and you are concerned about it being too much white on the cabinets look at Repose Gray, agreeable gray, accessible beige, or divine white. If you think you are good with everything white then I would go for it. Look for interiors on Pinterest that have all-white interiors. This will help you visually see if you like it and can live with it.
Kimberly says
We are building a modern farmhouse home and want to have some type of white cabinets and plan to use a swiss coffee for the walls. Haven’t picked counters out yet but am thinking about Stratton Blue BM for the island. Any thoughts? and what color white for cabinets with that color choice
Linda McDonald says
If you want a white white color I would consider Alabaster. It will look good with swiss coffee and Stratton blue.
Elaine says
I’ve got St. Cecilia granite countertops. My trim throughout is BM White (OC-151). I’d like to paint my dated knotty pine cabinets. Any suggestions as to color? My concern about the white trim paint for the cabinets is that it will be too white for the granite. St. Cecilia has more of a creamy off white. My concern about using an off white for the cabinets is that it will not match my trim. There is a lot of white trim in my kitchen! Shouldn’t my white trim and cabinets match??
I’ve also thought about Repose Gray for cabinets?? Wall color? Please advise! Thx
Linda McDonald says
These are good questions. One of my clients, I think, has St. Cecilia countertops. We painted her cabinets Chantilly by Benjamin Moore. This is the post if you want to see how it turned out. https://lifeonsummerhill.com/best-white-paint-for-interior-walls/ Also, as far as the white paint color for the cabinets I would match it up with your trim if you are afraid it will bother you. However, I believe unless the trim is touching your cabinets you can go with another white but if you love OC-151 then I would go with it. Last, I want to recommend purchasing a sample size of paint from SW and a piece of foam board. Paint it on the foam board and lean it up against your cabinet. Give it a day or two to see if you like it. I would even move it around the room so it gets different light throughout the day and you can see how it will read from different angles. As far as a wall color repose gray is a possibility. Again buy a sample and paint it on foam board. This will help so much in making a decision. You might even find that you love the repose gray on the cabinets and the white on the walls. I hope this helps and good luck!!
