There are probably 5 million kitchen photos here on the Houzz website. What I would suggest is looking through some of them to get an idea of what you like. Also posting photos of your space (jpeg format) helps visualize your options. We could just randomly throw out suggestions but it may or may not be what you want. Good luck!

thank you very much to everyone who responded! I'll look into espresso and charcoal grays. As well as the steel backplash. Emmarenes, I'm living abroad in India, and the only granites in my budget are the local ones. I was advised against the gray and white local ones because i was told that they would not hold up well in the kitchen. I could have gone with a black galaxy as well but i have that granite now and despise it because of the way it hides ants and bugs so well. we live in a tropical area and there are always critters here and there. My first choice was a Brazilian white granite but it was triple the price. This granite is called Shiva pink, so it has a pink salmon and gray look to it. Im really hoping I don't hate it once it's installed. The stoneyard was a 9 hour trip up and down and i was just pressured to make a choice after several undecided trips. And I'm getting new cabinets put in. but I think I can wait for them to put the slab before staining the wood. Thanks for that idea :)

If you will like to go little different than Indian / traditional one, mint green colour is in trend and goes well with brick colour walls. Looks good if you have white appliances, crockery and some other elements that are visible with it. (Sourced from google images) https://goo.gl/images/Wyu1kR

Hello! I am trying to decide on a color of white for my kitchen cabinets that will not clash with the granite that is already there. I am painting the walls SW agreeable gray and if possible, would like to use the same color white for the cabinets and the trim in the house. This is a North facing room. Would SW Pure White clash with the brown in the granite? Thank you for any advice!
