Your kitchen is one of the busiest places in your home. So when it comes to kitchen remodeling, the color you choose plays a big role in how people will feel when they’re in the space. Some color choices may make the room feel dreary. Other colors may look good in the living room but stand out too much when used in the kitchen. Here are some colors you should stay away from.

Orange & Yellow

Both colors have things in common, such as stirring up conversation and appetites. However, these colors also tend to make people feel that a room is too warm. This is especially true in the summer months, so if your kitchen is in a more open part of your home and gets a lot of sun, cooking may feel uncomfortable.

Slate Gray

Slate gray is a popular color for modern and minimalist kitchen designs, but if you use too much of it in the kitchen, it can make the room feel dark and dreary. Excessive use of a very dark color like slate gray will also make the room feel much smaller. If you must use slate gray, consider using it on your lower cabinetry. The dark color will help it stand out while not overpowering the whole kitchen space.

Pantone 448C

This color has been nicknamed “the ugliest color in the world,” so you should definitely avoid using it in your kitchen remodel. The hue in the green-brown family has been likened to the color of dirt and grime, definitely something that reduces the appeal of a kitchen. In fact, research shows that it elicits various feelings ranging from disgust to endangerment.
