Beautiful kitchen colors to try if you like BLUE!

Many homeowners seem to be looking for kitchen color ideas right now. Winter is the perfect time to start planning renovation and makeover projects to tackle in the spring. If you love the blue rainbow (from slate to periwinkle to navy), then these kitchen color ideas good kitchen colors will be helpful to pin and save for a future project. Remember to sample at least three colors in your space before making your final decision. 

 

Farrow & Ball LIGHT BLUE

We all fell in love with this light blue Atlanta kitchen a few years ago, and here's another gorgeous kitchen from Lauren Deloach featuring this winning color:

It's one of those blues that will be perceived differently depending on your lighting and other factors.

This is why it is important not to fall in love with a particular image online and to be certain that the paint color listed is the one you need. (Notice the difference between the Light Blue swatch above and how it appears in the dining room image below after being edited.)

Farrow & Ball BLUE OVAL BEDROOM

Here's a color that resembles duck egg blue and lends itself well to French countryside, European-inspired kitchens, and sophisticated traditional settings.

It's unusual to see this color paired with red, but it's so joyful.

And doesn't this blue look lovely with warm brass metals?

Farrow & Ball RAILINGS

Although this next color may appear to be a soft black, when you swatch it like I did, you will see the deep blue emerge.

Some of the most beautiful kitchens of recent years feature railings.

This kitchen above never fails to take my breath away!

Such an important color to sample in your space before pulling the trigger on your final choice, as the amount of light your room receives will influence it.

Athena Calderone's kitchen with railings went so viral, it took on a life of its own!

Benjamin Moore Hale Marine

Whether you love traditional, classic or coastal kitchens, a bright navy is always a great choice because it never goes out of style. But which navy?

So many designers choose this one.

You don't always know the color of the paint, and often in custom kitchens it was a custom formula. But here are some inspiring navy blue kitchens to consider if you're looking for inspiration:

So inspiring when the interior of the kitchen cabinets is impeccably finished!

Farrow & Ball DE NIMES 299

Here's a designer favorite gray-blue you may not have heard of:

Such an elegant blue and the quality of the cabinetry above remind us that we often overlook blue as a glorious option for woodwork and doors. Interior doors can be very mundane in terms of texture, quality and depth. Why not venture beyond white or black for them?

And remember, the perfect blue color for your space is often actually a gray color. So many blues can be too cloying, so gray paint color swatches are your friend.

Benjamin Moore Kensington Blue

Some shades of blue just have a British feel to them.

Farrow & Ball LULWORTH BLUE

Here's another bold blue that looks rather whimsical and appealing to Anglophiles:

Warm, moody colors and cozy opulence are very on trend. These blue-gray tones support this feeling.

For a colour close to the mood of this kitchen, try Farrow & Ball PARMA GREY:

Sherwin Williams PERFECT PERIWINKLE

Fans of bold, cheerful blues and purple undertones will love this look…

Rich Royal Blue and Indigo Kitchen Cabinet Ideas

For a while there, black and white kitchens were everywhere, and it's not like these neutral kitchens are going away. But blue and white kitchens seem so classic and work for any era.

Hague blue remains a designer favourite and, although bold, it doesn't seem out of fashion.

Sometimes a gorgeous blue accent will work magic in a white kitchen…for example, a pretty roman shade.

How about a blue asset instead of an accent?

Sometimes a breathtaking range in your favorite color can provide the color for a tranquil and timeless kitchen.

Isn't blue a stunning shade for appliances?

What mood does blue create?

According to color psychology , blue suggests peace.

It is the color of the sea and the clear sky, both linked to inner serenity, calm and clarity.

Blue slows the heart rate and breathing, so it can be a good color to aid meditation or relaxation.

Additionally, blue is associated with intelligence and its different shades can: improve concentration, stimulate thinking and bring mental clarity. 

How is blue different from red?

“Blue is a color associated with trust. Unlike red, which shows aggressive dominance, blue is associated with calm authority. Blue inspires confidence, is non-threatening and shows perseverance.

The beautiful medium blue evokes such a calming mood.

Blues also improve productivity and are a great choice for offices and workspaces because they provide both relaxation and stimulation.

How does blue affect emotions?

Have you ever wondered about the relationship between the color blue and emotions?

Another characteristic of blue is that it is not a very emotional color. He can be described as aloof or snobbish.

Just as it is associated with intelligence, it can be associated with being cold and rational to the point of showing little emotion.

Color psychology research also suggests that blue is an unappetizing color (so odd since so many people like blue in the kitchen!).
