Butter Yellow and Bottle Green Kitchens

“This new construction, a marvelous French County
home design, has a striking butter-yellow stucco exterior with
burnished copper accents. It was pre-ordained that the kitchen
cabinetry would reflect the exterior color. The creamy yellow
cabinetry enlarges the interior space while recreating a sense of
the Old World’s sunny countryside atmosphere. The color is very
muted, a warm umber glaze softens the yellow, and a gray residue in
crevices leaves the appearance of ancient dust. Worn edges and worm
holes add depth and character.
The countertop color is uba tuba, whose deep bottle green color is
a beautiful contrast to the butter cream of the cabinetry. The shade
“pops” the various elements, rather than competes with them. The
granite countertop has a reflective quality, so that while it
appears dark, it reflects the area around it, which is light. The
counter surface actually highlights the cabinets, causing them to
become the focal point of light in the room. The primary importance
of the color is that it repeats the exterior color palette, a
decision made in tandem with the client, architect Jack Arnold and
interior designer Charles Fudree.”
