Wave-the-flag colors

Red, white and blue patchworks, plaids and lacy florals (above) are best with either dark woods or matching painted cabinets in a traditional setting.

Bold red/white or blue/white graphics team well with pale pine and oak or glossy white enamel for a sleek look.

Leafy summer cool

Tangy lime and sun-kissed orange are guaranteed to recharge any kitchen. Heighten the impact by glossing cabinets with matching paint. Choose stainless-steel appliances and accessories in chrome, clear plastic; add dash with all-white cookware.

All-natural warm-up

Rich brown, beige and camel (above) evoke an informal country mood whether your kitchen is modern or traditional. This combination beautifully complements the newest chocolate-color kitchen sinks and cookware.

Use the natural palette with butcher block and bentwood, old baskets, copper molds and lots of real greenery to create a truly warm and intimate room.
