Deciding on Kitchen Paint - Like Coloring Easter Eggs!


Now that Spring is just around the corner, I am getting the itch to paint the kitchen.  I am not sure why because I really like my kitchen but I think I am a little bit tired of such a bright green.


So I decided to upload the above picture to the Better Homes and Gardens My Color Finder.  It can be found here.  It is really fun to play with and easy to use!  I love that fact that they Benjamin Moore paint colors so you can really try almost any color you can imagine.  So here are some of the results:


Purple - WHOA!  I would never do this but it is fun to see how different the room would look.   Cool!


Dark grey - again not something I would actually do but look how dramatic the space becomes.  I like it!


Here is a lighter grey - nice for a bedroom but not for my kitchen.  


I was looking for a light ice blue color but I really like the deeper color saturation of this paint.  I thought it would be too much but in actuality it looks pretty good.  Maybe a few shades lighter.  


Yuck!  Besides, my foyer paint is Baby Bee Yellow so it would be TOO much yellow!  :-O



Couldn't leave out tangerine tango - the "it" color for 2012!  Um....no.


PINK!


RED - very dramatic!


A coastal teal green - nice but maybe too much green.


This is the color I am thinking of painting - a light blue with a hint of grey.  I think I would add a glass and stone backsplash for some bling.  :-)

Which color do you think looked the best?   GO play with this tool - it is so much fun!

  1. I uploaded a room three times and it wouldn't show up on the next screen (in which you outline walls and such). Any advice?

  2. I'm not sure what the problem could be - I would try starting fresh and see if you can't bypass the glitch. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
