Greige kitchen cabinets are timeless and versatile and are a great choice for remodeling a kitchen that can be kept for years to come. Greige cabinets can be the perfect alternative for a white kitchen if you want to go just a little darker, yet still want to maintain a modest and neutral look.
Griege (aka grey-beige) is really a grey with warm undertones and it can be used on all styles of cabinets and with a variety of different hardware and countertop materials. You can pick out a greige paint color that’s light or darker, yet whichever shade you select, painting cabinets in a greige tone will give them a bit more variety than pure white cabinets.
Take a look at the greige kitchen cabinet ideas in the list below and get inspired for your kitchen remodel or if you are thinking about painting kitchen cabinets in another color. At the bottom of this post, you can find a few suggestions for greige paint swatches to give a try in your own kitchen.

This gorgeous shaker kitchen features greige cabinets combined with a sage green kitchen island and a contrasting black countertop. While the paint color on the cabinet doors and frames has warm undertones, the wall color is a bit cooler, which results in a beautiful contrast between the two colors, highlighting the molding on the kitchen wall.

It’s hard to say whether this kitchen has greige or taupe kitchen cabinets, as the direction of the light will highlight the cabinet paint colors in different ways.
The kitchen is finished with beige limewash paint on the wall that complements the greige colors and the black tones in the countertop and window frames add a beautiful contrast to the setting.

A two-tone kitchen with black and greige kitchen cabinets
Greige kitchens can appear monotone to some people, so working with two different cabinet colors might be the solution for you in this case. If you can’t decide on the best colors for your kitchen cabinets, just mix two of them in different sections.
In this beautiful kitchen, black lower cabinets were combined with greige kitchen cabinets on the other side of the kitchen. Both modules share the same limestone countertop to tie them together and I love that the door is painted in the same greige paint color as the cabinets.

Greige paint colors to try out a swatch from for your cabinets
Greige is a bit of a tricky color to get right, as the cool or warm undertone in the paint is highly influenced by the type of daylight that you get in a room. Make sure to try out a swatch and observe it on a kitchen cabinet in your own kitchen at different times during the day to get an idea of the final look.North-facing rooms have cooler daylight coming in, which benefits from a warmer undertone, while south-facing rooms typically receive a warm tone of daylight.
