What paint colors and finishes are typical for flat file cabinets?

Commercial steel flat file cabinets most commonly come in putty or beige, medium gray, black, or occasionally charcoal powder-coat finishes. Putty (a warm off-white beige) has been the traditional standard in technical drawing environments for decades. Gray and black are increasingly popular in modern design studios. Wood flat file cabinets (available in some specialty lines) come in natural oak, walnut, or painted wood finishes. The choice of finish is mostly aesthetic — all powder-coat finishes are equally durable. For a design studio looking to make the flat file an attractive studio element, black powder coat has a clean, modern look. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960 to check available finishes.
