MATERIALS GUIDE

Compare cabinet colours in a 3D kitchen

Cabinet colour reads differently across a whole run than on a small swatch. Compare it with the floor, worktop and surrounding walls in the same model before ordering samples.

A practical workflow

Keep the layout fixed

Open a reviewed project and choose one camera showing both base and wall cabinets. Keep the room and lighting unchanged while you compare cabinet colours.

Compare a small shortlist

Try a light neutral, a mid-tone and a darker option on the same fronts. Watch the contrast with tall cabinets and appliances rather than judging a single door in isolation.

Verify with physical samples

Review the colour in the editor and in a render, then request real samples. Screen settings and digital materials cannot guarantee how a painted or laminated door will look in your kitchen.

Choose the right starting point

Manual kitchen planning and browser-made Free photos are free. Photo Build requires sign-in and an available allowance or paid credit. The upload dialog shows any active promotional offer and its end date.

During Photo Build week, a qualifying promotional build includes an editable draft and one High render of that kitchen. Drawing exports and additional High photos are paid separately. A paid credit makes one kitchen Premium; see current pack prices and allowances.

Questions about this workflow

Will the render match a paint colour exactly?

No. Rendering, screen settings and real lighting affect colour appearance. Use physical supplier samples for the final choice.

What can I do next in Kitchform?

Open a kitchen project, review the layout and save a camera view. Compare the result with the plan and check the selected kitchen’s access before making a Premium High photo.
