White, Gray, Blue, and Green Have Staying Power. Though dark, moody colors are an emerging trend, white remains by far the most popular color for upgraded cabinets in kitchen remodels, according to Houzz research. Wood is the second most popular, followed by gray.We noticed at the shows that both whites and grays are warming up, with whites shifting to warmer hues and grays moving toward “greiges.” This kitchen displayed in Wellborn Cabinet’s KBIS booth features the brand’s newly launched Oyster White color, which reads as a warm gray-white paint in person.This cabinetry from the Yorktowne brand also shows the warming-whites trend, with its honeyed-white color (Safari Classic). Greens and blues also remain popular for kitchen cabinets and were seen in booths throughout the show. We saw them in a range of colors, from soft blue to navy and from soft sage to emerald to moody teal.The green in this kitchen from the Yorktowne brand is called Eucalyptus Classic.
