A focal point in the kitchen, cabinets take up a lot of space and demand that you look at them day after day. If they're painted a color you don't particularly love, chances are you're going to get tired of them in no time. There are lots of colors that work well on kitchen cabinets, but it can be tricky to find the right one. Before selecting an unusual hue, take into account the other items and colors in the room. Look at your walls, counters, backsplash, floor and appliances.
