What Color Cabinets Go With Repose Gray Walls

Repose Gray is a warm gray neutral paint color that is extremely popular right now and has been for a long time. This is because it is so neutral and adaptable, it can be used in almost any home and almost any room. This paint color by Sherwin Williams is extremely versatile and goes well with a wide range of other colors.

Almost any color you can think of will look great with SW 7015 Repose Gray. Repose Gray is a warm, inviting color that isn't sterile or harsh. It's a slightly warm gray with very subtle taupe undertones. These highlighted colors will work well as coordinating colors for kitchen cabinets.

What colors should you use as accents?

There are a few things to consider when selecting accent colors for your home.

 

Undertones of Repose Gray

SW 7015 Repose Gray is one of the most popular greige paint colors currently on the market. It has beige and gray undertones, so it's a beige and gray color.

Repose Gray leans more toward gray than beige. Unless you have cooler or more "true" grays in the room, it can just look gray.

Repose Gray also has some soft blue undertones and has a very slight purple undertone. Because of the blue undertones, it appears cooler than some greige paint colors.

Repose Gray is a warm gray in general. Thanks to its brown undertones, it reads slightly cooler on the scale than some other grays due to its blue undertones.

ProTip Takeaway: Repose Gray's blue undertones will show up more in a North-facing room. This is because the cooler light accentuates any cool tones in paint colors.

Shades of White Paint Color On Cabinets

For trim work or accents, stick to warmer white tones. SW White Dove, High Reflective White, Decorator’s White, Eider White, or Cloud White are some of the coordinating colors to choose from.

There are only a few paint colors that can be used on walls, trim, and cabinets. Of course, Repose Gray is one of those uncommon paint colors. Sw 7015 Repose Gray with Sw Pure White Pure paint color are colors that go well together. It goes well on trim, built-in cabinets, and walls.

To make those white cabinets really pop, use Repose Gray as your kitchen wall paint. It can also be wrapped around the ceiling, which makes the entire space feel warm and inviting. (Hampton Redesign., 2021)

 

SW Creamy Paint Color On Cabinets

This is one of the best colors to use on your cabinets to help accent colors stand out. SW Creamy looks great as a kitchen cabinet color in a variety of rooms. Because of the amount of yellow it can display, it is not recommended as a trim color.

Creamy will look fantastic in the living room, dining rooms, and kitchen cabinets when paired with repose gray walls. These creamy kitchen cabinets complement the Sherwin Williams Repose Gray walls. They end up creating a light, warm and inviting space. It's also a great color for rustic decor.

Dealing with the color's undertones can be tricky when choosing any white (including off-white and cream). There's no getting around them.

 The best strategy is to research and work with the undertones of any color you like. Creamy's primary undertone is yellow, which comes as no surprise. It is, however, not as yellow as other colors like Sherwin Williams Dover White. (Jenna Kate At Home, 2020)

ProTip Takeaway: Cream is actually yellow that has had a lot of neutral beige/gray/black added to it to turn it into a soft cream.

Urbane Bronze and Tidewater Color On Cabinets

Repose Gray can be paired with Urbane Bronze and Tidewater to create a unique color scheme. Urbane Bronze is actually Sherwin Williams' Color of the Year for 2021. It's earthy and dark, and it would look great on a feature wall, cabinets, or as a bold trim. Tidewater is a beautiful blue-green that would look great in a room next to it.

Naval And Mint Condition Color On Cabinets

Repose Gray serves as an anchor paint color for these cooler shades in the final color scheme. Naval is Sherwin Williams' 2020 Color of the Year. It is a deep navy blue that works well as an accent wall, built-in cabinets, or furniture.

Mint Condition is a vibrant minty green that would look great on cabinets or in any room. (Hampton Redesign, 2021)

Agreeable Gray vs. Repose Gray

Agreeable Gray is also one of the most popular Sherwin Williams paint colors. It's another greige paint color that looks a lot like Repose Gray but has a few key differences. The LRVs of Repose Gray and Agreeable Gray is very similar. This means they will return nearly the same amount of light into the room. 

SW 7015 Repose Gray Color has purple and blue undertones, whereas Agreeable Gray has green undertones. This is despite the fact that they are both gray paint colors with strong beige undertones. Agreeable Gray appears to be lighter than Repose Gray in general.

ProTip Takeaway: Repose Gray has a heavier weight than Agreeable Gray. It will appear more imposing on your walls and make a stronger statement than Agreeable Gray.

Revere Pewter vs Repose Gray

The only warm gray or greige color you've ever seen maybe Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter. This is because it is the most popular greige paint color and possibly their most popular color.

It's a greige like Repose Gray, but it leans more toward beige than gray. Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter has green undertones as well. Revere Pewter appears more earthy as a result of this, whereas Repose Gray appears more clean gray. 

You'll be surprised at how much grayer Repose Gray is. Both Repose Gray and Revere Pewter are excellent colors for use throughout the house. Revere Pewter can look muddy at times, whereas Repose Gray never does. (Kylie M Interiors, 2020)

ProTip Takeaway: Repose Gray will go with a wide range of finishes in your home, and it's also one of the best paint colors for resale value.

How to Make a Color Scheme Work in Your Home

When designing a space, the first step is to choose a color palette or scheme. You'll always have a blueprint or vision of what colors to use if you choose a group of colors that go well together. Using the same colors throughout your home creates a sense of calm, cohesion, and purpose.

Compare the color on both the tile and paint samples in filtered natural light outside or through a window. Both colors should complement each other, whether cool to cool or warm to warm.

ProTip Takeaway: You may find yourself stuck when it comes to making those difficult decisions about what paint color to buy, keep, or get rid of. A color palette is your best go-to decision-maker.

Repose Gray is a fantastic choice if you're looking for a single color that will look great throughout your home. It's a versatile paint color that looks great in different places in the house. It’s great for the living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, entryways, family rooms, bedrooms, and even bathrooms.

It is also a fantastic color as it isn't too dark for most spaces and goes well with a variety of complementary colors. (Love Remodeled, 2021)
