Kitchen Color

[pretty_bug01]

So, this may be weird of me to ask. I am making some crocheted towels and wash cloths for a bazaar/craft fair thingie. Anyways, I wanted to know the most popular colors for a kitchen so that I could pick like the top two or three and get some colored yarn to make them with. I'm asking for the main color not the accent colors so keep that in mind.

 

What color is your kitchen?

[Wrennie]

my 3 main homes

1 yellow

1blue &

1 hunter green

[nicolep]

Red (the whole rooster thing) and yellow (not together) are fairly popular colors

[DesertCrocheter]

My kitchen is white and blue, one sister's is white on white, another sister's is mottled weird colored counters (gray, purple, mauve, quite ugly) with white trim, and Mom's is bright red walls with white trim. My friend's is peach.

 

I'd agree: blue, yellow, and white are popular. Red is quite popular. I've seen sage and pale green with white trim in magazines, too, and that's lovely.

My kitchen is white (BORING!) but I participated in a March of Dimes fund raiser at work a couple years ago where I made about 50 dishcloths and sold them at work. The first ones to sell and requests put in for were done in a yellow/light yellow/white varigated yarn. I think it was a 1lb cone from peaches and cream?? The last ones to sell were done in a blue/pink/white varigated yarn. Hope that helps a little.

I have found that blue one of the most popular colors (personally I like pink). I would ask everyone that you know and meet what their favorite color is and go with the colors that get the most response.

You are going to get answers in every color of the rainbow!

 

Mine is purple (winery theme).

[Daisy]

mine is white

[PAndrus]

I'm going to say Reds, the Blue/White/Yellow combo, and greens are going to be the top

[TurtleLvr]

Mine is white with black appliances, but I have chickens everywhere for a splash of color. My mother's is pink.

My kitchen walls are a colonial blue, but I make my cloths in bright colors that don't match anything in my kitchen. I like to see cheery colors when I'm doing something I'd rather not be doing!

One guideline is to go to your local retailer and see what colours they are selling these days. if that is the sale range then that is what people can purchase.

 

I would suggest that you find a neutral or similar colour to match the retail market. I would use a cream/beige if there were lots of taupes and greyed out greens on sale. If slate blue is offered (i wish ) then find a blue cotton that would 'go with'.

 

I used to post a thread on colour choices each year when the new Colour marketing board report came out... lost track of that email somehow

[crochetluvknot]

my kitchen has white walls maple cabinets and black granite counter tops so we just throw some color in the cloths like red or purple or green

[ratdog]

Mine is light Green / garden theme

[candiwv_]

Mine (not my choice) brown/tan countertops, white walls, and I have added the black due to appliances.

 

I used to have Kelly Green/White with Ivy.

 

Mom is yellow and white (sunflower themed).

 

1 sister is red, green, and white (apple themed).

 

Other sister is sunflower themed. (green, yellow, and white)

[teapot]

How about burgundy?

Don't forget to browse the websites.

Target, JC Penney, Macy's ...

 

This will show you the current trends that brides are registering for.

Mine is a light minty green called Meadow Mist with Tippy Taupe trim. When I have some time, I'm going to paint my cupboards to match the trim and maybe the countertop as well since the previous person that lived here painted over the beautiful faux black marble countertop that was here. White melamine is horrid looking.

Mine is hunter green, yellow with some browns and reds. My last house was colonial blue and white.

[Mom w/a Motif]

Me, too. Except red, and tan (not yellow).

 

Red (the whole rooster thing) and yellow (not together) are fairly popular colors

What???? You don't have any turtles in your kitchen. Just chickens.

 

My kitchen is a light country blue and beige. The kitchen in the first house I owned was done in yellow, white, with small touches of green. The wallpaper had a white background with stripes of small gingham checks and stripes of a larger gingham checks. There were stripes of yellow roses in between the stripes of gingham checks. I had white appliances (my appliances in my current kitchen are white also.) and white cabinets. The trim was painted a yellow and the two doors were done in white and yellow. Although blue is my favorite color and yellow is my second favorite color, I really did love that yellow, white and green kitchen.

[mclendon1]

sounds like, yellow, green, & whites, & the yellow & blue combo.

 

I'd do extras of ecru & white, & have a few sets of the not as popular colors (like my purple, LOL).
