Top 5 Most Popular Polyurethane Kitchen Paint Colours

Choosing a colour for your new kitchen? Here are the timeless polyurethane favourites homeowners keep coming back to.

Choosing the right paint colour for your kitchen cabinetry can completely transform the space. With polyurethane finishes, you’re not just getting a beautiful colour — you’re getting a durable, high-gloss or matte finish that lasts for years.

At A Class Poly Pty. Ltd., we’ve seen colour trends come and go — but some shades remain clear favourites for good reason. Here are the top 5 most popular polyurethane kitchen paint colours our clients love.

1. Classic White (Dulux Natural White)

Finish: High Gloss or Satin

Why it’s popular:

White remains the undisputed king of kitchen colours. It’s clean, bright, and makes even small kitchens feel more open and airy. White polyurethane doors look stunning with stone benchtops, timber accents, and all styles — from Hamptons to ultra-modern.

Works well with:

• Matte black handles

• Timber flooring

• Marble or light stone benchtops

2. Cool White (Dulux Lexicon Quarter)

Finish: Matte or Satin

Why it’s popular:

For clients who want a crisp, modern white with a hint of grey, Lexicon Quarter is a go-to. It’s cooler than traditional warm whites, giving kitchens a more contemporary and refined feel.

Works well with:

• Brushed nickel hardware

• Grey or charcoal cabinetry

• Concrete-look benchtops

3. Charcoal (Dulux Domino)

Finish: Matte or Satin

Why it’s popular:

Dark, moody kitchens are in — and charcoal polyurethane is leading the trend. It adds depth, contrast, and drama, especially when paired with lighter benchtops or splashbacks. It’s a bold choice that doesn’t go out of style.

Works well with:

• Crisp white upper cabinets

• Gold or brass handles

• Timber accents

  
  

4. Navy Blue (Dulux Oolong)

Finish: Satin or Matte

Why it’s popular:

Navy kitchens strike the perfect balance between classic and bold. This colour brings warmth and sophistication to your space and works beautifully in both traditional and modern kitchens. It’s especially popular for islands or lower cabinetry.

Works well with:

• Brass or gold hardware

• White quartz benchtops

• Shaker-style doors

5. Warm Greige (Dulux Beige Royal)

Finish: Satin or Matte

Why it’s popular:

Neutral lovers adore this soft, versatile tone that blends grey and beige. Greige is elegant, timeless, and adds warmth without being overpowering. It’s perfect for creating a calm, welcoming kitchen space.

Works well with:

• White or cream splashbacks

• Black or brushed bronze handles

• Stone-look laminate or engineered stone tops
