Gloss kitchens don't show any sign of going out of fashion. Crown Imperial launched three new colours in their Rialto range, at the end of last year; Salmon, Oxygen and Chocolate; following the launch of Titanium, Plum and Gold earlier in the year.

Crown already had; white, oyster, silver, sky blue, anthracite, black, dark blue, cappucino, yellow, orange, red and burgundy in the Rialto range, which has a good quality, high gloss, acrylic finish to the doors (a step up in quality - but also in price - from high gloss vinyl doors).

Crown have also produced a new brochure just featuring the Rialto doors ... although the colour reproduction leaves a bit to be desired in some cases. Salmon looks like a cross between orange and red, Oxygen is a metallic blue-grey ... and Chocolate is self explanatory! Best to get a sample door to be sure that the colour is right for you.

The picture shows Rialto Titanium with Valenza, a real walnut veneer door. I really like the combination of high gloss with a more matt wood finish (whether it's real veneer or a wood effect)
