A saturated color on a recessed panel does something a flat door cannot, because the step around the panel holds a darker band of the same blue. The CNC Cabinetry Elegant Ocean Blue EB21 sets that panel inside a wide mitered shaker frame with a flat drawer face. HM Cabinetry keeps the Elegant Ocean Blue EB21 door at the East Brunswick showroom, standing next to the other blue doors in the range.

Blue goes flat on a plain door and keeps its depth on a shaped one. The CNC Cabinetry Elegant Ocean Blue EB21 takes that depth from a reversed raised center panel, which pushes a shadow around the inside of the wide shaker frame. The door is five piece solid wood with mitered corners and a flat drawer face, over a box built on the interlock system.

There are two blue shaker doors in this brand and the difference is the joint and the panel. Elegant Ocean Blue EB21 is mitered with a reversed raised panel, while the Fashion blue is mortise and tenon with an accent molding around a flat panel. HM Cabinetry puts both on the rack, because a photograph of either one online tells you almost nothing about which you will prefer standing in front of it.
A blue kitchen gets settled by three things that are not the door, which are the counter, the metal and the floor. A white quartz with movement keeps a full blue run from sitting heavy, brushed brass warms the blue while polished nickel keeps it cool, and a mid tone floor stops the room splitting into two halves. HM Cabinetry lays all three out with the Elegant Ocean Blue EB21 door before the order is written. The box underneath is the interlock build with a full half inch plywood back, half inch plywood sides and dovetail drawers on stainless full extension glides.
Painted doors drift between production runs more than stained ones do, and a strong color drifts most visibly of all. HM Cabinetry orders the full Elegant Ocean Blue EB21 kitchen out of one run, keeps a spare door for the sink base, and sets the six way hinges after the first heating season so the reveals stay even.
