I have a very similar color mix including Black pearl granite, maple cabinets with a cinnamon-color (can't remember the name of the tone), stainless appliances and a light tile floor.I guess my cabinets are a bit lighter than expresso but I have black accents etc. I love the black pearl granite and the color mix looks lovely. will post pictures later today when I get back from work.

I am waiting for your pictures......thanks.

My cabinets are red brich with a nutmeg finish with black pearl granite. I just love my black pearl granite so much I'm have a problem picking a backsplash. My appliances are black and white. My my stove and refg. was new so I did not want to have to buy new. My dishwasher & microwave oven is black. Which I like the black with the cabinet and granite.

The picture is just not the same has in person.

We have India Black Pearl counters -- but our cabinets are hickory with a nutmeg stain. The cooktop is a GE induction. (Best investment in the entire kitchen, IMO)

Here are some pictures (taken a while ago before the finishing touches). tried to find one that shows the light tile floor.

marciag: I love those cabinets! Are they toffee? Which brand? Thanks!

they are Cardell Cabinets in maple/mocha stain.Not many people on this forum have used this cabinet company but I am very happy with them! The color in person is much nicer than the pictures demonstrate.

Does the black pearl have any brown/gold in it. I am still trying to decide between it and Uba Tuba. Maple cabinets with "early american" stain, ss appliances, natural maple floors. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We are also putting in a new island in a dark brown/espresso colour...
