If our “graydar” is correct, gray is coming in hot this season—or rather, very achromatic. While all-white kitchens have been all the rage during our Covid-confined era, and colorful kitchens are now having a moment, the in-between is becoming the ultimate sign of sophistication. From a light barely-there hue to a moody charcoal shade—a gray palette in your cookery is tasteful, understated, and endlessly versatile. In short, it creates a space that is muted in all the right ways. Ready to go beyond black and white? Check out these gray kitchens that we’ve culled from the archives and we dare you not to go to the dark side.

This one-of-a-kind St. Petersburg apartment kitchen, designed by Tim Veresnovsky, turns the notion of gray on its head.

This pint-size space proves that there is more than one way to combine colors.
