slate?

Here's SS with white cabinets and brown island.

The slate falls flat for me, but there's no right or wrong answer.

Maybe this photo can help you decide ;-)

Slate is a GE finish with less of a sheen than stainless, and slightly darker, CP.

I like the slate color, but do you really want to go with all GE appliances? Are you OK with mixing finishes, since you won't be able to use slate for other things?

Ah thanks. I guess because I have no interest in the GE appliances I haven't even researched it.

I found the slate to be very attractive but GE kept changing (and discontinuing) the appliance models it was showing up on. The finish did not show fingerprints and smudges and was so neutral that it went with all colors and materials.

Only GE makes slate, and not in any of their better appliances.

I'd pass based on not wanting to do the "suite" thing at all. It's much better to choose the best in class, regardless of brand. GE only does really well with their ranges, and much of the rest of the lineup is B- to C-. And who knows their future now that Electrolux bought them?
