I noticed on some of your gallery photos some customers have painted cabinets in colors not shown on your website. Are there other colors available or do you offer customer colors other than the black, gray and white ones?
-
We can offer only the Whites, light grey, and dark grey as shown via our website. Custom colors are not available as matching to custom color codes can be very difficult and slows production speed considerably. Past customers wishing to spray a custom color will usually just order the project with the PRIMER ONLY option selected. This allows you to install the cabinets raw, then have the doors sprayed by a local painting professional of your choosing. Our primer is universal and very nice for spraying a paint formula of your choosing on site.

What existing paint colors are your white cabinet finishes a match with? For instance is your Dover white the same as sherwin Williams Dover white, etc.

Same as the other post I just replied to. I will copy it here:
Comparing color-matched paints really comes down to how critical you are about the match. Personally, I’m extremely particular, which is why we strongly recommend that customers have their own sample color-matched—just in case there’s a slight variation in the paint batch. Every batch is mixed based on a formula, but there will always be small differences. These variations are usually minimal, but worth noting, as we cannot cover any costs related to mismatched colors on items painted by the customer on-site.
Each batch may differ slightly in tone, so it depends on how closely you’re inspecting the match between our factory-sprayed conversion varnish and what you’re spraying on-site. Conversion varnish has a unique texture and reflects light differently depending on the angle. When we launched our new paint line earlier this year, we went through four rounds of adjustments to fine-tune the color. In the paint booth it looked perfect, but under sunlight, we noticed subtle shifts in warmth, so we kept tweaking it until it was as close as possible—even though we were being admittedly overly picky.
We recently began using Sherwin-Williams Gallery paint for our Dover and Pure colors. This is a premium product designed for professional applications, such as flat-line or spray booth systems. It lays down beautifully and self-seals grain defects as it cures. While you can purchase it from your local Sherwin-Williams, it’s primarily intended for professional use.
I’ll attach the most recent color matches for reference. Keep in mind, they won’t be a perfect match to the conversion varnish finish used on BarkerCabinets.com—but they’re extremely close, and only the most discerning customers are likely to notice any difference.
