Pale Green Kitchens

January 16, 2017 by Jane F 2 Comments

pale green kitchens - modern urban kitchen with pale green cabinets and stainless steel accents - Peter Pennoyer Architects via AtticmagPale green kitchens are looking neutral as colors become subtle and complex.

It’s easy to think of pale green kitchens as falling into the Nordic/coastal category but, for me, they have become as neutral as gray or beige. That’s because pale colors tend to be mutable — which means they can take on hints of gray, yellow or even blue while retaining the spa-like aura.

I’m focusing on colors that are similar to those found in the kitchen photos — at least in my computer monitor — because paint colors generate so many questions.

Pale green kitchens handily work with different cabinets style from modern/minimalist to traditional. Architect Peter Pennoyer’s crisp urban kitchen [above] has Shaker cabinet doors mixed with mid-century slab-front drawers. The color is a bit mysterious — it is pale green but it also could be an assertive off white. It’s the subtlety that keeps the from looking generic — the way many white kitchens of this style do. Stainless counters on the island, a stainless backsplash and the massive glass and stainless island hood (with such great lighting!) amp up the coolness.

pale green kitchens - Emma Persson Lagerberg's pale green Swedish kitchen with white-painted floor - bloesem via AtticmagThe Swedish kitchen of write Emma Persson Lagerberg pairs a white-painted floor with pale green cabinets, white marble and stainless steel. It’s a pretty combination and Nordic to the core. Does anyone else think  the pair small upper cabinets almost look like paint swatches sitting out their on their own?

This could be described as a “watery” green. For me, it’s more lively than gray and cooler than taupe and it gives this super traditional kitchen cabinet style has a little update.

The cabinet fronts were spray painted with Farrow and Ball’s Wimborne White on the uppers.

This is a sophisticated kitchen color palette with a bold dash of individuality.

    What color white goes well with RH silver Sage? I had my light oak cabinets painted by a professional in SS…white is so hard for me to pick out. Right now I have butter Cream kitchen walls…it look awful…

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

      Hi Cindy,

      The thing about a pale muted Silver Sage green is that it can look like a different color. I explain that in my post Tricks Color Can Play.

      I would pick a bright, clean white, not something that has a cream undertone. Here is a list that gives a good number of choices. I would get little sample jars and paint the white on a sheet of foam core board that is at least 24 x 24. Then just put that up and see how it looks against the green. My first picks would be Benjamin Moore China White, Decorator’s White (which I used on my ceilings) and Paper White. Here is a link to a helpful article on white paint but beware the colors are distorted in the monitor. Paint samples are needed.

      Let me know how you like those!
