Kitchen Decor Paint Color Scheme with Behr Paint's Soothing Celadon Green

Serenity Now

As soon as I saw Soothing Celadon by Behr Paint I knew that I had to have it in my new kitchen. The color complements the serenity of our house, which has views of tall trees from every window. The kitchen was the first room that I wanted to paint, with that enticing Behr Paint color. For practical reasons, it the was the last room I painted. Although Soothing Celadon does play a large part in my kitchen decor, the color palette ideas underwent their own evolution from their original time of conception.

With Behr Paint's Soothing Celadon as my main kitchen paint color, I knew that I had to have darker colors in my color palette as well. The need for a darker complementary paint color was further emphasized by the fact that I also wanted a lot of white on the kitchen cabinet frames. The white we chose was the Premium Plus Interior Kitchen & Bath Sateen Lustre Enamel Ultra Pure White. This color comes right off the shelf, no added tints are needed.

The initial palette started with Behr Paint's Soothing Celadon, in their Kitchen and Bath paint. The Behr Kitchen and Bath paint is more expensive than their regular wall paint. On sale, one gallon of the kitchen and bath paint at Home Depot was about $28.

Ultra Pure White

The Premium Plus Interior Kitchen & Bath Sateen Lustre Enamel Ultra Pure White is a bright, cool white. Had we tinted this white, the Soothing Celadon would not pop as well as it does, because it is a light paint color.

I used the Behr Paint Ultra Pure White on the door frames, the window frames, and the kitchen cabinet framing. The kitchen cabinet doors were not painted white.

Soothing Celadon

I applied Behr Paint's Soothing Celadon to the cabinet doors and the kitchen drawer fronts. I painted both sides of the kitchen cabinet doors in this same Celadon green color. Because I had actually bought a full gallon of Behr Paint's Soothing Celadon, I also painted the interior of the cabinets with the same color.
