Kitchen Colour Schemes: Images to inspire modern kitchen colour combinations
Theres nothing like a browse of modern kitchen images to get inspiration for kitchen colour schemes happening. Here are some kitchen colours to compare from bright and bold combinations to white and off-white classic appeal and neutral earthy-toned kitchen havens. Let this be your spring board for ideas when it comes to choosing kitchen colour schemes.
Ready for red
Not much compares to fire-truck or cherry red to make an in-your-face impact in kitchen colour schemes. Its bold, bright and stands-out all on its own, so if red is your colour of choice then chances are making a statement is what youre after. Just how much red you let take centre stage in the kitchen is up to you maybe you want to go the full gamut or maybe its just a touch of red (for the splashback or overhead cabinetry, perhaps?) for dramatic impact.

Bright, bold and full of colour
If bright is the first word that comes to mind when you think kitchen colour schemes, then youll love the kitchen colours here. Just remember bright kitchen colours create a lively energetic atmosphere, and youll want to be sure its a colour you love to be immersed in day-in day-out (especially if you choose bright cabinetry or a stand-out splashback) as you cook away in your kitchen.

Earthy-toned appeal
A classic combination in kitchen colour schemes for its timeless appeal and natural tones are these earthy colour combinations a mix of browns, chocolates, white and off-white and greens (from avocado, to olive and lime shades) too. These kitchen colours give a warm calm feel and are less likely to date compared to bright and bold kitchen colour schemes.

When everything is white
The ultimate in modern kitchen colour schemes is all-white, and is perhaps not much of a scheme at all but a blank canvas of neutral, non-offensive, shiny and in-vogue. White says modern, fresh and clean (as long as you keep it that way!). Take a look here for more all-white kitchen designs and images.
Better in black
Black or dark-toned cabinetry creates a strong presence and make for masculine kitchen colour schemes (usually teamed with stainless-steel, greys or off-white colour combinations). As these kitchen colours create a heavy look on the eye, make sure your kitchen space has good lighting to compensate or team with glass overhead cabinetry or a neutral-coloured benchtop to lighten the overall look.
