Your kitchen is often referred to as ‘the heart of the home,’ so we should treat it as such. The right cabinet color can completely revamp your kitchen, creating a space that feels fresh, modern, and perfectly suited to your style. Whether you prefer timeless neutrals, bold statements, or soft, serene hues, Sherwin-Williams offers a range of beautiful options to enhance your kitchen’s design.
What Tampa Bay Homeowners Should Know
At Bayshore Remodels, we help homeowners bring their dream kitchen to life by selecting the perfect cabinet colors and finishes. If you’re planning a refresh, here are some of our favorite Sherwin-Williams shades.
Timeless Neutrals
Neutrals remain a top choice for kitchen cabinets, offering versatility and elegance. Repose Gray is a soft, warm gray that pairs beautifully with white countertops and light backsplashes, creating a bright and airy feel. Dorian Gray deepens the tone slightly while maintaining a classic look, and Gauntlet Gray adds richness, making it an excellent choice for lower cabinets or an island.
Cabinet refinishing at Bayshore starts at $5,000. Most kitchens run $8,000–$10,000 and large kitchens $11,000–$15,000, with 5 to 7 working days on site. A second color for a two-tone look is a $500 add-on, and the sprayed finish carries a 2-year warranty against blistering and peeling.
Typical ranges from our recent projects. Your written estimate, built after we see your space, is what your project is priced on.
To complement these shades, brushed nickel or matte black hardware enhances the modern feel, while warm brass accents add a touch of sophistication.

Bold and Dramatic Colors
For a striking look, deep, bold colors can bring personality and contrast to your space. Tricorn Black delivers a sleek, modern aesthetic and works beautifully with lighter walls and countertops. If you prefer something with a rich, moody undertone, Black Emerald adds depth while maintaining a refined feel. Another favorite is Inkwell, as the name suggests, it is a bluish black color that pairs beautifully with Snowbound.
Pair these dramatic shades with brushed brass or polished chrome hardware for a stylish and high-end finish.
Soft and Serene Hues
If you’re drawn to softer, nature-inspired colors, Stardew offers a gentle blue-gray that brings a coastal elegance to your space. Sea Salt, a muted green-blue, shifts with the light, creating a fresh, airy feel that complements a range of kitchen styles.
For a crisp, clean look, Alabaster provides a soft, warm white, while High Reflective White is a true bright white for a modern, minimalist approach. These lighter hues pair well with antique brass or white hardware for a timeless appeal.

How to choose a cabinet color you’ll still like in five years
- Start with what you’re keeping. Your countertops, floors and backsplash are the fixed pieces. Pick a cabinet color that works with them, not one you love in a photo.
- Look at samples in your own kitchen. Florida light changes colors a lot. A gray that looks perfect in the store can look blue in a bright kitchen facing west.
- Use bold colors where they count. A navy or green island with lighter perimeter cabinets gives you color without making the whole room dark.
- Think about resale if you’re selling soon. Soft whites and light grays appeal to the most buyers. Save the bold colors for a home you plan to stay in.

Frequently asked questions
What is the most popular kitchen cabinet color right now?
Soft whites and warm light grays are still the most requested, with deep blues and greens most popular for islands.
Can I do two different colors in one kitchen?
Yes. Two-tone kitchens, usually lighter uppers and a darker island or lowers, are one of the most common requests we get.
Do dark cabinets show more wear?
Dark colors show dust and scratches a little more than light ones, but a quality sprayed finish holds up well either way.
