2. Blue Kitchens
Blue is a great color to build into your kitchen design. Blue has a lot of versatility as color and can act as a substitute for a white or a black if you pick a very light or very dark hue respectively. Blue also is a great accentuator of the texture of tiles, cabinets, or countertops, and can be adapted to a variety of different lighting conditions.

Contemporary, traditional, and country styles will also use blue without a lot of difficulties. Their stronger accents and daring design features allow the use of the full blue spectrum.
