Best Cabinet Paint Colors for 2026
By Dunwoody Painters ·
The whites, greiges, greens, and navies that dominate metro Atlanta kitchens right now — plus which hardware pairs with each.
Cabinet color sets the tone for the whole main floor. These are the finishes we're spraying most in metro Atlanta this year.
Timeless whites and off-whites
- White Dove (BM OC-17) — warm, soft, works with nearly every countertop.
- Alabaster (SW 7008) — slightly creamier, beautiful with warm wood floors.
- Pure White (SW 7005) — clean and modern without going stark.
Warm neutrals
- Accessible Beige (SW 7036) on perimeter cabinets with a white island.
- Agreeable Gray (SW 7029) for a soft transitional look.
Greens and blues
- Evergreen Fog (SW 9130) — the standout transitional green.
- Hale Navy (BM HC-154) — classic island color that never dates.
- Sea Salt (SW 6204) — gentle, spa-like, great in smaller kitchens.
Dramatic darks
- Iron Ore (SW 7069) — near-black with depth, stunning with brass.
- Urbane Bronze (SW 7048) — warm charcoal that reads sophisticated.

Two-tone kitchens
The most requested combination in Atlanta right now: white or greige perimeter cabinets with a deeper island in navy, green, or bronze. It adds depth without committing the whole kitchen to a strong color.
