Candy-inspired paint colors: A dresser painted in Cheery.

Cheery

Nothing says candy like a classic shade of bubblegum-inspired color. A pop of pink can bring a maximalist touch to your space, thanks to its bubbly nature that’s all about being bold. Pair Cheery with gold accents and color-coordinating art to create a playful look layered with personality.

Candy-inspired paint colors: A color blocking dresser painted with Lemon Twist.

Lemon Twist

Lemon drops are full of flavor and vibrant in color – capture their playful punch with Lemon Twist. A smaller dose of bright yellow can add the right amount of energy to your space. Use this hue as an accent color for furniture to create an unexpected look that’s fun and fresh.

An open kitchen with lower cabinets painted in Retro Mint.

Retro Mint

Looking for a color combination that’s mint to be? Green and white are a refreshing duo that looks good in any room – play up the contrast between them with color blocking. Retro Mint adds a splash of pastel color that’s perfect for grounding a space, while white helps draw the eye up.

A hallway vignette with walls painted in Rock Candy.

Rock Candy

Like the sugary crystals on a nostalgic treat, Rock Candy brings a soft and inviting look to walls with barely-there color. If you want to play up a bolder look, explore using a monochromatic palette to paint doors and trim a few shades darker than the wall color.

A bathroom vanity with cabinets painted in Splashy.

Splashy

Whether it’s from the boardwalk or an amusement park candy shop, saltwater taffy is sticky sweet and always a treat. Use Splashy’s rich shade of blue to give furniture or accent walls a coat of statement-making color.

No matter which sweet catches your eye, these candy-inspired paint colors remind you to have fun with your space. Looking for additional inspiration? Upload a picture of your favorite treat to our ColorSnap® Visualizer to get even more color suggestions.

  1. Lorenzo, salesman at Sherwin Willians located in Calallen , Sore #8584, sure made a wonderful experience went I walked in not knowing what I needed for what I was going to do , when I decided I wanted to paint my kitchen cabinet. He was patient , caring, helpful and indeed very knowledgeable! I walked out of their with all my supplies, knowledge, and confidence. With in the next two days my kitchen cabinets were sanded down, primed and painted. My first time in painting kitchen cabinets was a success❤️

  15. Love the colors & ideas! Have always loved SW quality!!

  16. Love Sherwin Williams paint and colors; have now used Dorian Grey, Respose Grey, Rain, love all of them. However I will tell you the best is not always the best. The super paint( Velvet) you can not touch up, looks spotty.Plan on paint entire wall with this product; but gives a awesome finish to yours walls.

      Hi Karen! You have used some beautiful colors in your home! Touch ups can be difficult to achieve. Having the same product, sheen and applicator is key.

  30. Hello,
    I’ve recently painted my kitchen cabinets SW Extra White they came out gorgeous. My counter tops are White Calcutta Marble (White white with some light grey) I plan to add Aqua accents (toaster, coffee pot etc..) going for a coastal theme as this home is located at the beach. I like the all white look kitchen but I would like a slight contrast to the cabinets on the walls and don’t want it to look too sterile. What white can you recommend that doesn’t have any cream to it? Or would a white that has the slightest hint of aqua work? I’m not sure what is usually suggested for walls of a white white kitchen. Also what can you recommend for a light seaglass color for a bedroom. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    • Sherwin-Williams logo

      Hi Colleen! Your kitchen sounds really pretty. We would not put a light aqua on the wall as it may make your cabinets look blue in some lighting. Consider using any of these soft whites with subtle gray undertones. Any of these whites would complement both your cabinetry and granite. Look at:
      Drift of Mist SW 9166
      Toque White SW 7003
      Egret White SW 7570

  31. Just finished our interior re-fresh with your beautiful indigo blue on the lower cabinets and loved it so much I went back for more and did the wainscoting in a guest bath and have gotten some wonderful compliments. We’re heading outside and I would appreciate your recommendation for a medium warm grey(with a hint of rose or lavender)for the siding and a deep eggplant for the trim. Thank you so much!

      Hi Patricia, We love the palette you chose for your home! Look at using either Minute Mauve SW 7078 or Unique Gray SW 6260 with Patchwork Plum SW 0022 for your trim.
