What would be a good color for a pantry?

I want to paint my pantry, what color would be best. It is a part of my kitchen, and my kitchen is very neutral. Should I just paint it white again? I would love to paint it a different color. We are trying to sell our house so I need something that is neutral as well. Thanks in advance.

Our kitchen is a very pale yellow. I love yellow in the kitchen!

I would sugest white because it just makes everything look nice and clean and it helps make things easier to see.
If you are wanting color other than white I would choose a kaki color.

I think a bright color because you can see things better in the back spaces!

If you are trying to sell your house, paint it either white or the same color as your kitchen. If you're just doing it for you, I'd say go bold with a Navy blue or a deep maroon. Make those pantry items live in luxury! :)

I painted one wall in my pantry with chalkboard paint. It's a good place for lists and messages. It's out of the way too. I think if the rest of your kitchen is neutral it might be nice to add a surprising pop of color in your pantry.

The same color as your kitchen. As well, I very much agree with another post. That if you have a blank wall or a door on the pantry then pain it with Chalkboard paint. That way they can write grocery lists or notes to family on it.
