1.PEWTER GREEN
Out of ALL the many shades of green, Pewter Green by Sherwin Williams is a fan-favorite for kitchen cabinets! It’s “dark yet calming and complements natural elements like wood and metal while bringing a down-to-earth elegance.”
At project, Travels & Textures, our clients wanted a modern upgrade that channeled their love of nature & travel. Pewter Green was the perfect choice to ground the space and bring a natural, organic vibe. To create some visual contrast and make the space feel larger, we chose white uppers and a classic white subway tile backsplash. To keep things visually light, we chose to install floating shelves, rather than upper cabinetry, to flank the range. This also added a place for our clients to display some of their favorite travel keepsakes!
Design tip: When it comes to decor, a rich-toned red will pair beautifully with this paint color, as seen in this gorgeous runner. The key to combining red and green without it feeling like Christmas is to choose deeper hues and not overdo it - one pop of something red will do the trick!
Coordinating paint colors: Spare White, Shoji White & Silvermist

2.Manitou Blue
If teal blues are your vibe, look no further than Manitou Blue. Greenish blues are perfect for coastal inspired homes like our project Island for Days. To create the light and airy vibe our clients wanted, we used a lot of whites in the design, including the cabinetry on the perimeter of the kitchen. However, when it came to this incredible 15-foot island, we knew we wanted to add a pop of richness to the space and this ocean-inspired blue was the perfect choice!
Design tip: Consider pairing this paint color with chrome or brushed nickel hardware.
Coordinating paint colors: Blue Horizon, Aged White and Khaki Shade

3.GALE FORCE
The vision for this bathroom was all about creating a rich, blue monochromatic vibe—hence the project name, Out of the Blue. It all started when we fell head over heels for this stunning floor tile, which was perfect for both the bathroom and shower. From there, we knew we had to find the perfect shade of blue for the cabinetry to tie everything together. Enter Gale Force. It’s moody without being too dark, and the way it complements the other elements…total perfection.
Design tip: To ensure a monochromatic look doesn’t fall flat, it’s important to incorporate a medley of textures and patterns, think wallpaper or interesting tile shapes and textures.
Coordinating paint colors: Extra White, Shiitake and Ultaupeia

4. FADED FLAXFLOWER
This is one of our most asked about paint colors! At our Bonjour Blue project, we had the pleasure of remodeling our French client’s entire home, weaving in gorgeous shades of blue throughout. When we got to the laundry room, we decided to have a little fun with the design. We went bold with a stunning tricolor hexagon tile on the floor, and since our clients wanted to keep their existing wood cabinetry, we needed a color that would tie it all together while adding a pop of personality. Faded Flaxflower is a perfect gentle blue with cool yellow and gray undertones and it brought just the right fresh, relaxed vibe!
Coordinating paint colors: Icicle, Gossamer Veil, Charcoal Blue

5. Anchors Aweigh
This charming craftsman bungalow kitchen got a serious style upgrade with the bold and beautiful Anchors Aweigh! It's the deepest, most saturated hue in our roundup, perfect for creating rich contrast. In our ‘4th Street Bungalow’ project, we used this moody shade on the lower cabinets while keeping things light on top. Darker lower cabinetry grounds the space and adds a touch of luxury without overwhelming the room—but if you’re all about drenching your kitchen in deep blue from top to bottom, we say go for it! Your space, your vibe!
