Thinking about giving your kitchen a fresh new look without the hassle or cost of a full renovation? One of the best places to start is with your cabinets. Professional cabinet painting can completely transform a space, and choosing the right color is key.
At MacFarland Painting, we specialize in cabinet painting, and we work with homeowners every day who want to modernize, refresh, or warm up their kitchens. We stay on top of the trends so you don’t have to, and we’ve narrowed it down to the most popular cabinet colors this year based on real kitchens, real results, and what’s standing the test of time.
Let’s take a closer look at the cabinet colors our clients are loving most right now.
Crisp, clean & timeless. White cabinets are always in style, but Pure White by Sherwin-Williams has taken the lead this year. It’s not too bright and not too creamy. Pure White is ideal for homeowners who want a kitchen that feels larger, brighter, and more open. It pairs beautifully with everything from light oak floors to dark stone counters and looks just as good with stainless steel as it does with brushed gold hardware.
If you want something timeless and versatile, this is the go-to color.
Sherwin-Williams Agreeable Gray
For homeowners who want something a little warmer than white, Agreeable Gray by Sherwin-Williams is one of the most popular cabinet colors of the year, and one of our most requested. This warm greige (a mix of gray and beige) gives off a soft, welcoming feel. It works in both traditional and modern kitchens and plays well with warm woods, black fixtures, or cool-toned backsplashes.
Sherwin-Williams Evergreen Fog
Evergreen Fog, a muted green-gray with subtle undertones, is one of our favorite picks for clients looking to introduce a little color without going bold. It feels natural, calm, and elevated and it looks amazing when paired with warm brass hardware, butcher block counters, or creamy white walls. Homeowners love that it brings interest and personality into the kitchen while still feeling neutral and timeless.
Evergreen Fog is one of the fastest-growing popular cabinet colors for 2025, and we expect it to keep rising.
Sherwin-Williams Waterloo
If you’re drawn to deeper, bolder colors, Waterloo by Sherwin-Williams is a standout choice. This rich blue with a smoky undertone adds depth and drama and looks especially stunning on islands or lower cabinets when paired with white uppers. Waterloo is part of the dark color trend that’s taking kitchens by storm, and it’s quickly becoming one of the most requested popular cabinet colors for homeowners who want to break away from safe neutrals without going overboard.
