Bristol 5 Piece in Satin Sleet is a five-piece Shaker-construction door from Kitchen Craft's Bristol line in a soft cool-grey satin finish. The "Sleet" color name reflects the visual character: a refined cool grey with subtle blue undertone that reads contemporary and quietly architectural.
The Color and Construction Together
Sleet sits in the cool-grey range with subtle blue undertone, neither stark nor saturated. The five-piece construction adds visual depth that single-piece MDF doors cannot replicate: visible joints, recessed center panel, dimensional shadow lines at every edge. The satin finish catches light differently at the joints, emphasizing the architectural detail while keeping the surface low-glare.

Best Application
Modern transitional kitchens with cool palettes, contemporary remodels with refined molding, design-led spaces with marine or coastal-modern direction, and homes that pair cool-grey cabinetry with substantial architectural detail. Bristol 5 Piece in Sleet reads more substantial than basic Shaker doors in similar colors.
Hardware and Counter Direction
Brushed nickel and polished chrome both fit the cool grey-blue palette and emphasize the contemporary character. Matte black tightens the look modern. Aged brass works as transitional warmth bridge. For counters, white-veined quartz with grey or blue tones reads cleanly. Skip warm-cream surfaces, which fight the cool undertone.
Order a sample door before placing the full kitchen. Cool blue-leaning greys shift dramatically between bulb temperatures.
