Bold colors need good lighting to show their true hue. Insufficient light makes bold colors look flat and muddy.
In kitchens with upper and lower cabinets, wall color is mostly visible in the backsplash area and above upper cabinets. Open-concept kitchens need color that flows into the living area.
Paint the island a different color than the walls for a custom look. Or paint inside open shelving a contrasting color to make dishware pop.
Satin gives bold colors depth and richness. Matte works but can look chalky on very saturated colors.
Bold colors almost always require primer (gray-tinted primer for best results) and 2-3 coats of paint.
Use satin or semi-gloss finish in kitchens — you need to wipe down walls regularly. Eggshell is minimum; flat paint will stain permanently.
