If you’re looking for the best kitchen colors–both in terms of popularity and as determined by the designers–this is the right place. It’s impossible to take into account everyone’s leanings; so while none of these kitchen colors go too far in any direction, it’s hard to go wrong with any of them. In general, designers seem to agree that earthier colors and neutrals tend to be the best kitchen colors; blues, greens, purples, and so forth the worst kitchen colors.
