I absolutely love stone grays on kitchen cabinets—they create such a refined, handsome look in a kitchen. Stone gray pairs beautifully with stainless steel appliances and balances effortlessly with crisp whites, especially when set against white natural stone and tile. It also flows seamlessly with warm wood tones, adding depth and character to the space.
I hope you enjoy these stunning examples I’ve discovered from a few of my favorite designers and architects.
Sheeny Murphy designed an impressive and functional kitchen. Pigeon was used on the island and the cabinets. It works so divinely with the white marble countertops and the white tile backsplash.
Farrow and Ball’s names and descriptions of their paint colors are always clever! I love this description of Pigeon: “This cozy and nostalgic blue grey is named after the color of the bird often sighted around the London landscape. Softer and bluer than more contemporary grey shades.”
A description of the color by Park and Oak: “The ideal blend of not-quite-green and not-quite gray, we often turn to Farrow & Ball’s Pigeon as a nearly neutral for those still wanting a little pop of color. Its saturation level is the perfect complement for the wood tones we love, and also plays nicely with other shades we choose frequently, like navy and rust. Try it for cabinetry, or as a backdrop with neutral furnishings. We love its versatility in almost any room for any application.”
Purbeck stone is so light, clean, and airy in this fabulous Philip Patrick Interiors’ kitchen.
Farrow and Ball describe the hue: “Purbeck Stone is a clean and understated mid grey that resembles the colour of stone found on the Isle of Purbeck.”
This is what Sustainable Kitchens says about Purbeck Stone: “Purbeck stone is a great mid-tone gray with a beautiful warm undertone. It is absolutely stunning against soft whites and stainless steel, but it is also beautiful against natural stones and wood tones. making it extremely versatile in the kitchen.”
Skimming Stone is a wonderful warm gray. Again, I love the name and FB’s description: “This stony off-white takes its name from a 19th century skim, or plaster color, but often reminds us of childhood afternoons skimming stones.”
SkimmingStone is simply stunning on kitchen cabinets. It is warm, cozy, and inviting. The color can be used in sunny or darker spaces. It is extremely versatile and looks spectacular in any kitchen space.
