Greige has become an increasingly popular choice for kitchen cabinets, and rightly so. It marries the comfort of gray that’s so easy to decorate with, but adds a modern touch with a warm beige undertone. If white cabinets are boring but you’re looking for a classic color that won’t fail you, then greige is the perfect choice!
I’ve gathered 15 of the most popular greige paint colors for kitchen cabinets to help inspire you and hopefully narrow down your decision.
1. Benjamin Moore Natural Cream
Benjamin Moore Natural Cream is a beautiful neutral color choice for kitchen cabinets. Like most greige paint colors, it pairs well with both cool and warm tones but looks especially good with brass hardware.
Even though this is a small footprint for a kitchen, the light, warm color paired with tall cabinets makes it feel more spacious and open than it is.
2. Sherwin Williams Realist Beige
I love how Blushing Boho Interior Design brought so much warmth to this kitchen with the brass hardware and light fixtures.

The textured tile and warm wood tones of the shelves are the perfect complement to the greige cabinets.
3. Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter
Revere Pewter has recently gained popularity as a kitchen cabinet color. It has lots of warm undertones with a slight green hue.
It is perfect for a kitchen with lots of natural light and goes well with dark hardware like All Sorts Of did in this kitchen. The light-color walls, tile, and ceiling help brighten up the cabinets.
4. Sherwin Williams Amazing Gray
Amazing Grey will work in just about any kitchen. It is a very versatile color with slightly warm green and grey tones. A creamy white wall color with black and brass hardware goes great with this greige. This would work well in a kitchen with lots of natural light as it will look a lot warmer and muddier in a dark setting.
5. Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray
Edgecomb Grey is an excellent color to add warmth to your kitchen while still feeling light. It can look either warm or cool depending on how much natural light you get. It doesn’t have any strong undertones making it a versatile choice.
A soft, warm white goes best with this greige, like the walls in this kitchen.
6. Benjamin Moore Classic Gray
Classic Grey is such a versatile color depending on your kitchen. Lots of natural light will make it seem a warmer grey. A darker kitchen will show more of the beige undertones. It is perfect for making a space feel open and airy.
7. Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray
SW Agreeable Grey is a warm greige that pairs well with brass hardware and black accents. It is such an easy color to work with as it is very flexible with natural light, decor, and wall colors.
8. Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige
SW Accessible Beige is considered by many to be the perfect greige paint. It has a warm taupe undertone (that can look slightly pink in some lighting conditions) and goes well with earthy accents.
In this Studio McGee kitchen, antique brass hardware is used but it also goes really well brighter shades of brass, or even matte black hardware. Dark counters will make the cabinets feel darker but a light marble will brighten them up.

Final Thoughts
Picking the perfect greige for your kitchen cabinets can seem daunting since there’s so many stunning shades to choose from. Like with any paint color, it’s important to take note of the natural light in your space and how it changes throughout the day. You may like the color in the morning but by the afternoon it’s a totally different shade.
Picking the right hardware and decor that pairs well with your chosen greige will also change the end look of your cabinets, so be sure to take that into consideration as you make your choice.
