Are you stumped trying to choose a wall color for your kitchen? I sympathize! I went looking for decorator-recommended paint colors for a kitchen, and what I found was extremely helpful, so I’m passing it on to you! Here are 11 picture-perfect paint colors for your kitchen space.

The most recommended color for kitchen walls is, not surprisingly, white. But which white do you choose?

Tried & true decorators’ favorite whites include:

Benjamin Moore’s Decorator’s White–a crisp, clean, pure white

Clunch White by Farrow & Ball–a fresh white perfect for offsetting dark cabinetry

White Dove from Benjamin Moore–white with just a touch of gray

Dunn-Edwards’ Precious Pearls–an opalescent white

Antique White by Sherwin Williams–a warm white

As for non-white recommendations, decorators approve basic colors that include blue, yellow, tan and green. You’ll even find a bold red!

For a lovely blue-green reminiscent of the ocean, try Tidewater by Sherwin Williams.

The palest gray will accentuate textures and is beautiful on any kitchen wall! This is Paper White by Benjamin Moore.

Farrow & Ball’s Teresa’s Green is a beautiful shade that will compliment any kitchen.

Bewitching Blue from Sherwin Williams is a calming and elegant shade of blue that anyone could live with.

I love this green from Farrow & Ball, called Estate Emulsion Saxon. It’s a warm, creamy green, reminiscent of an English estate.

An otherwise neutral kitchen gets a dose of fun from the vibrant red of Glidden’s Red Geranium.

Finally, for a fun yellow, try Sherwin Williams’ Optimistic Yellow.
