5 Most Popular Kitchen Paint Colors for 2025

New year, new paint! Whether you’re planning a full kitchen renovation in 2025 or simply want to give the space a refresh, a fresh coat of paint can work wonders. While paint is a budget-friendly update, choosing the wrong color can be a costly mistake—so it’s important to get it right. 

Not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered. According to interior designers, these will be the most popular kitchen paint colors in 2025.

Green

This year will likely be the year of green paint. Many designers are huge fans of this color and the many shades it’s available in. “Green is evergreen and here to stay—and in all shades,” says Amber Guyton, interior designer behind Blessed Little Bungalow. “I love Clare’s Current Mood—the color of my own kitchen cabinets—deeper greens like Sherwin-Williams’ Hunt Club and Country Squire, and even tangier colors, like Behr’s Salamander and Citrus Peel. You can’t go wrong with the energy greens bring to any space, especially the heart of the home.”

Shauna Jones of Shauna Glenn Design tells me she is excited about using dense, forest hues in the coming year. “This includes shades such as Arugula from Sherwin Williams and Sweet Basil from Benjamin Moore,” Jones says. “These are at the top of my list for that deep, yummy green color.”

Jones also shares that earthy greens will trend in 2025. “Houseplant from Sherwin Williams and Courtyard Green from Benjamin Moore lean a bit more towards olive, so perhaps not as bold, but definitely top contenders for that earthy feel.”

Interior designer Becky Shea also predicts greens will be big for kitchen paint colors in 2025, with shades raning from rich, grounding tones to light, airy hues. “Greens bring an earthy warmth and an energizing vibrancy that feel fresh and inviting,” she says.

Earth Tones

According to interior designer Linette Dai, earthy and warm neutrals and browns—such as the Pantone color of the year Mocha Mousse—creamy beiges, and chocolate brown are bound to trend in the coming months. “Colors that evoke nature are still very much coveted, but we are going moodier and richer than prior years,” she says. “These will look fantastic everywhere from the walls to cabinetry.”

Jewel Tones

Jewel-tone paint has been on trend in recent years, and Dai believes this look isn’t going away any time soon. “Deeper jewel tones—like ruby, aubergine, and sapphire—these rich colors paired with weathered metals add a level of sophistication and drama that we are loving,” she says. “Burgundy was big in 2024, so we’re ready for something different.”

Jewel tones look particularly good on cabinets. So, if you prefer lighter walls, re-painting your cabinetry is a great way to incorporate these bolder shades into your kitchen.

Purples

While this might be a surprise to many, Dai believes lavender and the entire spectrum of purples will trend in the kitchen space. “Benjamin Moore’s color of the year Cinnamon Slate is a beautifully complex blend of lavender with a brown undertone that feels like a rich neutral that’s easy on the eyes,” she says. “Deeper eggplant purples are also gorgeous in a kitchen when you don’t want the same color kitchen as all of your friends.”

If you like the idea of purple but are not quite sure this is the best approach for your entire kitchen, consider painting your moldings purple for a unique designer look. 

Blues

Shea tells me blue is versatile, timeless, full of character, and an excellent choice for breathing new life into your kitchen. “For blues, I see a spectrum of shades gaining popularity—from deep, moody navy tones that add a sophisticated touch to softer, more serene hues, like Silver Lake by Benjamin Moore,” she says. “These shades evoke a sense of calm while maintaining a bold, contemporary edge.”

The designer predicts that while blue will trend, the timelessness of this color means it will be far from a passing fad. “I believe this color family will have a lasting impact, because it offers an exciting alternative to the classic all-white kitchen,” Shea says. “It’s sultry, invigorating, and adds depth and personality to a space.”
