This made the list in 2019, and is still expected to be a big color in kitchens.  Make sure you don’t overdo it and focus the black on being away from the airy ceiling.  Black pairs great with warm wood and crisp white tiles, and don’t get me started on how fabulous it looks next to gold!

Black’s favorite cousin Charcoal is also in for those not ready to dive into deep black. It still gives the wow factor when contrasted with white.
