In 2025, about 52% of industry professionals report using cabinetry as the primary way to add color to a kitchen. To make the best choice from endless options, you must first know which shades homeowners love and what drives those preferences.
Top Kitchen Cabinet Color Trends for 2025
Based on research of current design movements, several kitchen cabinet colors are emerging as standouts:
- Soft Blues & Pastels
Soft blues like Lake Blue are making waves. It is a favorite for homeowners wanting serene spaces. These hues provide a sense of tranquility. This makes kitchens feel welcoming and refreshing. ROC Cabinetry’s Lake Blue finish reflects this calming cabinet color trend. According to recent industry research, about 63% of homeowners surveyed say blue is their favorite for kitchen cabinetry. Soft blues pair beautifully with:
- Neutral countertops
- light-toned flooring
- Muted Grays
Silver Gray provides a contemporary update on classic gray, offering subtle warmth while maintaining a minimalist appeal. Muted grays are versatile enough to complement modern and traditional kitchen styles. Pair this popular kitchen cabinet color with:
- Natural wood tones
- Crisp white accents
- Metallic hardware
- Wood Tones
Our Shaker Series highlights natural wood tones, like Cotton Oak, coming soon. Wood tones are enjoying a strong resurgence in home design. Moving beyond the stark, minimalist trends of the past, homeowners are drawn to the comforting, grounded aesthetic that wood provides. Unlike painted cabinet colors, natural wood tones add authenticity and depth. It brings:
- Palpable texture
- Visual depth
- Organic elegance
- Two-Tone Color Combinations
Two-tone kitchens allow homeowners to experiment creatively while maintaining balance and cohesion. They’re used in about 25% of this year's projects. Jade Green and Smoke Oak, Lake Blue and Cotton Oak available through ROC Cabinetry make perfect pairings. Two-tone cabinet colors are increasingly trendy for adding contrast and dimension. To complement the two-tone design, accentuate cabinets with:
- Consistent hardware
- A statement backsplash
- A matching island in one of the colors
ROC Spotlight: Why Silver Gray is the New Neutral
For decades, bright white dominated the kitchen, followed by deep charcoal and navy. Today, the design pendulum has settled on muted grays, and our Silver Gray finish exemplifies why this shade has become the defining neutral of the 2020s. Silver Gray is the perfect midpoint:
- Not Cold: Unlike some cool grays, Silver Gray incorporates subtle warm undertones, preventing the kitchen from feeling sterile or uninviting.
- Versatile: It serves as a sophisticated canvas, allowing homeowners to add pops of color through accessories or backsplashes without clashing.
- Great for Two-Tone Designs: Pair Silver Gray upper cabinets with a rich, dark lower cabinet or use them for an island to anchor a brighter kitchen. It provides contrast while maintaining a polished, cohesive aesthetic.
