Black is neutral, so it plays well with nearly any other color.
Its warm undertones will prevent a black oven or fridge from appearing too sterile.

Bonus styling tip: Complete the contrasting look with a black farmhouse sink.

Not every black kitchen appliance is a true black.

Some are more of a charcoal, and others may even lean a little gray.
Lavender

We love a kitchen thatshows off some color.
Purple can lean warm or cool, and black is a flexible neutral that can play well with it.

Black appliances really pop against mid-to-light shades of purple, such as lavender.
In fact, some oven manufacturers add brass knobs to black ovens.
Brass and gold tones create a sophisticated high-contrast color scheme when paired with black.

Similar to white, chrome is highly reflective, while black absorbs light.
So, pairing black with chrome creates contrast in its most classic form.
you could repeat the color black through small details, such as your knobs and pulls.

The end result will be a crisp, clean design that lets the black accents take center stage.
It’s a ideal go-to option if black cabinets are too bold for your taste.
The key is to choose a brown that isn’t too dark.

Black appliances lend themselves well to thedark academia aesthetic.
To add just the right amount of brightness, a marble countertop will round out the look.
A light green with a slight yellow undertone is a cheerful yet calming antithesis to a black fridge.

This makes it a solid paint choice for cabinetry surrounding black appliances.
Add a little interest to a monochromatic design by opting for a slightly lighter black than your appliance.
A black with brown undertones invites a natural, warm look into the kitchen.

There’s something so comforting about the nostalgia of a retro kitchen.
Pastel appliances were common features in 1950s kitchens.
The black appliances will add a nice modern touch and keep the space from looking too dated.

Forest Green

Forest green and black is a classic color combo.
Both of these dark hues are different enough to stand out, but they still harmonize well together.
Opting for green bar stools is a low-stakes way to introduce green into the space.

Turquoise will add anice costal flairto a neutral kitchen.
This means you’re able to easily pair these features with either warm or cool colors.
Off-white doesn’t create as stark of a contrast with black appliances as bright white does.

However, it still lets chic black appliances be the focal point.
Muted green looks especially great with black kitchen appliances with a hint of gray in them.
However, too much bright red can be a little overstimulating in a kitchen with black appliances.

Sky Blue
Dusty pale blues are extra in vogue right now.
This hue especially pairs well with black ovens with brass accents and a European flair.
Together, they evoke the look of amodern French countrykitchen.

This cheerful color adds a sense of energy to the color black.
It can keep the room from appearing too dark and dingy.
Slate Blue
Slate blue has the perfect amount of nuance.

Depending on the weather or the time of day, it can lean more blue or gray.
This same rule applies tonavy blue cabinetryand black.
You just have to ensure that the pairing looks intentional.

These dark and moody colors play exceptionally well together.
Orange via a kitchen island or copper backsplash adds warmth and playfulness to an otherwise dark and sterile kitchen.
Chocolate Brown

Dark cabinetry is no longer considered dated in a kitchen.
Studio Peake
Black appliances and dark-stained wood are a timeless combo.
Black appliances tend to feature few, if any, undertones.
We especially love greige next to a black oven with brass knobs.
@au_numero_22/ Instagram
The golden hues really play up the beige.
You even see these colors play well together in nature.
Take another nod from the sky and consider throwing a couple of pale blue appliances into the mix too.

The style of your black appliance can also guide your overall kitchen design.
For example, an antique-inspired black oven would look beautiful in a traditional-style kitchen.
What Color Appliances Are in Style?

Lately, we’ve been seeing other colors challenge stainless steel as the leading kitchen appliance material.
While stainless steel is still inarguably popular, black appliances are coming in close second.
