KraftMaid honey spice cabinetry pairs with multiple paint partners, but choosing the one that suits your decorating scheme depends on the wood used in the construction of the cabinets, as this can change the value of the cabinet color. This is where complexity comes in.
Before plunging into color-coordinating your kitchen, bathroom or KraftMaid cabinetry installed elsewhere in the home, match the honey spice finish with the wood that produces the result you desire and then address your paint color choices. Honey spice ranges from almost neutral to a deep golden amber and can even appear as a brown color, depending upon the wood choice of the cabinetry. Maple Wood CabinetryHoney spice stain yields a cabinet that is close to neutral, with a hint of blonde when it's applied to maple cabinetry. Stay within the analogous color spectrum by choosing a bold terra-cotta for a feature wall or backsplash, creating a Mediterranean theme. Accent with a rich green and sunflower yellow. Olive adds an earth element to your room, especially when paired with yellow and brown.
Complementary colors include gray, which coordinates with stainless steel appliances. Add an accent of charcoal on the wall and brushed stainless cabinet hardware to tie the elements together. Oak Honey SpiceLeaning toward the darker shades of brown, oak cabinetry stained with honey spice can reflect pale pink undertones or become solidly brown, depending on the veining and depth of color in the actual pieces of wood. Using the warm earth tones of oak as a starting point, paint a feature wall scarlet and apply cream with a hint of red on secondary walls.
Neutral surrounding colors include mushroom, delivering a clean palette for the background and inviting forest-like colors as accents. A contemporary look includes brilliantly white walls with chocolate brown accents, brushed aluminum hardware and a touch of magenta as an accent. Staying NeutralRegardless of the final appearance of the honey spice stain on specific woods, the warmth of the stain encourages warm shades of paint. Blending modern touches, such as Black Galaxy granite countertops, an off-pink, tumbled marble backsplash, Mexican saltillo tile flooring and stainless steel appliances ties all the colors together, resulting in a room that’s welcoming any time of the day. The off-pink backsplash against the granite countertop creates a lively contrast, yet ties in with the flooring as a tinted shade of its deep rusty red.

Soothing the Sous ChefBeige walls and white cabinets are a restful combination, both light and expansive. The calming colors are a visual antidote in a high-energy, high-production kitchen that hums with three meals a day, snack prep and party catering. Honey-colored glazed ceramic floor tile or light maple floors extend the simplicity of the palette; add sisal mats in front of the sink and stove to cushion the cook's feet. Pale or tortoise bamboo window shades help define the space, as do birch or burnt rattan stools at a white kitchen island topped by salmon, light-sienna or white marble. A row of clear glass pendants over the island and task lighting under the cabinets illuminate the daily fare. Fluid BackdropWhite cabinets, trim and appliances are crisp and clean in a kitchen, and beige walls enhance wood decor features and help pull the space together.

When you have wood floors and butcher-block counters, beige walls echo the brown tones without being heavy. In an open-plan kitchen, the pale colors blend with decor in a dining and living space, creating an open feeling while leaving room for accents in bright colors or strong patterns. Collectible furnishings work well against the invisible backdrop; Mid-Century Modern tables, chairs and lamps in wood, plastic and natural-fiber upholstery stand out. The clean lines of Shaker furnishings are conspicuous. Signs of age in primitive antiques are noticeable in all their cracked and crazed charm.
Hang a giant artisanal wood cutting board in the kitchen as wall art. Make a rag that picks up the color of the living room sofa, to place in front of the sink. Coffee Bar ColorsThere are many permutations of beige and an expansive view includes latte and cappuccino shades. Coffee and cream are appealing colors for a kitchen. Cover the walls with rich, pale mocha or linen paint against white cabinets, and stain terra-cotta floor tiles coffee-bean brown. Replace standard cabinet hardware with oiled bronze knobs and pulls, and decorate walls with reproduction aged black-and-white menus or vintage metal cafe signs. Oversize cafe au lait cups displayed on open shelves and a restaurant-caliber cappuccino machine on the counter signal this kitchen may look elegant but the barista means business where caffeine is concerned.
All the Rage With GreigeThe hybrid of gray and beige known as 'greige' is a solution to wall paint for a kitchen with white cabinets. Eggshell-finish greige on the walls helps brushed stainless appliances blend with plank floors, an old oak kitchen table in the breakfast nook or the storm-cloud walls of the dining room. Consider edging paneled white cabinets in thin lines of black to emphasize detail. Use black-and-white harlequin accessories such as area rugs, pot holders and dishtowels. Paint a chalkboard panel for family notes on one wall and surround it with a skinny natural-wood frame.
