If you’re planning an interior painting project in your kitchen, selecting the color is more challenging than you may think, especially when trying to match it to the existing kitchen countertops. Here are some recommendations to help you pick the right hue and come up with a cohesive color scheme.

3 Tips for Choosing New Kitchen Paint Colors to Match Your Countertops

1. Focus on a Color to Accentuate

Natural stone countertops typically have flecks or veining made up of many different colors, including whites, blacks, browns, and beiges. Choose one color featured in your countertop’s speckling to focus your paint selection.

For example, if your white marble countertops have deep gray veining, consider painting your walls a similar shade of gray to accentuate the colors in your counter. 

2. Choose a Complementary Color

Complementary colors for interior painting can play off your countertops nicely. For example, if the majority of your counter is brown, look at color swatches in blue shades. If your countertop is maroon or red, a creamy yellow shade may be a good option. Using complementary colors allows for variety in your kitchen while ensuring the two colors don’t clash. 

3. When in Doubt, Go Neutral

Neutral colors like black, ivory, taupe, and beige take some of the guesswork out of repainting your kitchen. When choosing a neutral shade, you can rest assured it won’t clash with your countertop. Neutrals also allow you to make bolder color decisions for accents, such as vibrant tile backsplashes or gold crown molding.
