Looking for opinion and suggestion for kitchen cabinet colour combination that would not go out of fashion the next 5-10 years and that is easy to maintain.

- What is the best neutral kitchen cabinet colour that will last for a while (next 5-10 years)?
- Is it ok to have the top wall kitchen cabinet colour different from bottom base kitchen cabinet colour?

I am thinking to have glossy white colour top wall kitchen cabinet matching with either
(a) a neutral grey bottom base kitchen cabinet colour
or
(b) a neutral wood colour bottom base kitchen cabinet colour

matching with a marble print quartz countertop.

-Would white top glossy cabinet difficult to keep clean?
-I read somewhere that it is not recommended to have a glossy bottom base kitchen cabinet as it can get scratched easily. Is it true?

Please share your experience and opinion (no right or wrong answer).

Whether it get scratch easily or not, it depend on your product quality.

It's just that getting a scratch on gloss surface is more obvious. For the colour matching, it's just the matter of preference and darker colour tends to cover up dirt stain.

I would suggest white top & grey bottom.

My 2 years anniversary 12ft kitchen cabinet for 15k exclusive electrical appliances,

White or light grey would be nice. Beige/brown to me screams cheap (similar colour as those common elcheapo kitcab offerings out there)
Black also can as a stand-out bold colour if match with the black fridge theme.

Neutral grey (but make it light like 10-20% grey) would be evergreen.

Eyecatching things like dark red..dark green will go out of fashion very fast.

Glossy kitcab is equivalent to having a brand new black car paintjob. Dark colour swirls will be more obvious than on lighter colours.
To keep them safe, use microfiber to wipe, not old t-shirt. No need expensive brand that sound like nowek, for one of those u can purchase full box of these https://shopee.com.my/product/4228218/2699462978 - absorbent and swirl-free.

If you go the ikea route with cheap doors/drawer fronts, the option to change is always easy.
If using the more expensive doors/drawer fronts from ikea like mine, I don't plan to change colour often

Black and white

Your kitchen looks nice.
Yea. That's what I am thinking also. White top and light grey bottom cabinet with a marble pattern quartz countertop.

Hope that is neutral enough and stay classic/evergreen.

Thanks.
After reading your feedback and others feedback.
Yes. I think I will go with white top and light neutral grey bottom kitchen cabinet with marble pattern quartz countertop.
I think this combination is very neutral and stay classic/evergreen for a while.

I dont like dark red, dark green, dark blue or black colour cabinets.

Thanks for the tips. Appreciate it!

Black bottom cabinet might/may show scratch and dust easily (I think).
I prefer a neutral grey or a neutral wood colour for bottom base kitchen cabinets to hide dirt and dust easier.
I would consider dark grey instead of black if I want a darker colour.

Depends on your ID theme. In my opinion, now the trend is back to Matt surface for cabinet.
