Can you post photos of the floor tile and countertop? I like the look of gray cabinets, but it really depends on how it looks with your other surfaces.

I am going with gray lowers and fridge pantry wall and a few uppers on one wall in white.

But I am going with a dark floor and butcher block counters.

Is this what your granite looks like?

I'd also like to see what your tile floors look like. I have a hard time picturing beige floors with that granite, but that may just be my failing. With beige floors I'd lean towards white cabinets. With that granite, I'd probably lean towards grey.

Gray can be tricky! Clear gray, taupe gray, blue gray, green gray? They all look different in natural and artificial light, too.

This is one time, when I would definitely splurge and buy those little samples of about four or five different grays, paint them on the wall or sample board....and see what you think. By the window, under the lights, next to the tile, etc.

While I like white, I think gray might be a nice idea, too. Have fun with the color choices :)

We partially painted a few cabinets to get an idea. So excuse the look. The counters haven't been installed yet, but here is a sample. Also, we are cutting down the bar to make a large peninsula.

Yes, that looks like the right granite. It does have a hint of taupe in it, which helps tie it to the floors

Yay! I found it!

This website has a bunch of posts about using grey. This link is to just ine of them, but you can browse around and find all sorts of good info.

Good luck!

Thanks for all the help! I'll take a look at that website. The walls are a light green. We're not sure if we will re paint the walls or not. It will depend on how everything else looks with them. We are not against re-painting if need be. We are planning on doing a full backsplash. Either a glass tile, or subway. We are going to wait on that until the cabinets are done and the granite is in.

That's a lot of wall to paint! And is that a blue wall in the other room?

With your floor, the wall colors and wanting to add a backsplash...I'd be tempted to paint all the cabinets white. Just make sure it's a white that looks good with the counters!

The stainless steel appliances bring in some gray to go with the new counters. You can also bring in some gray (if you like) with the backsplash. White will give you a lot more freedom in this area, too :)

definitely go grey. There is no white in the floors (on my monitor anyways) to tie the cabs and floor together, but there is definitely grey in there (again on my monitor).

I think you will definitely have to paint the walls. I'd do white subways, but maybe 4x8s or 6x6s set in the running bond pattern.

It's going to be a lot of work (if you're doing it yourself) but it's going to look great. Very different from what you have now.

On my screen your granite looks chocolate instead of charcoal. Hmmm...It's a compact kitchen, I think light for cabs is the way to go, but not light gray.

Good catch LavLass! I missed that blue. Maybe aim towards coastal cottage? But with a bone instead of pure white (to tie in the floors)? Accents of the blue in the other room and the apple green. It all depends on what your style is, of course.

These are blue gray.. I have others, just can't get my ipad and Houzz to talk nicely.

I agree with no gray. The white cabinets will look wonderful with the countertop and floor.

Yes, I am having a hard time picturing a gray that would work with the floor and countertops. Maybe more of a warm gray/taupe, but you really can't go wrong with white cabinets.

Look at sherwin Williams anonymous. It's a grey with a bit of a green tone. Goes perfectly with Bianca antico. I am considering painting my island this color with same granite.

White.

with the pics u posted, its hard to see the exact color of the floor, one pic it looks like it has gray in it and another it looks like it has pink undertones. with that said, i would go with a taupe/warm gray color. i think that would look great with the granite. you can do the bottom the warm gray color and a warm white on top if u want.... i would definitely paint the walls . that color would depend on what u paint u cabs... i don't think that green looks good with the granite. if u paint any more cabs with sample paint, try painting a door on the bottom near the floor to get a good idea how it will look with the floor.

you can always pull a color out of the granite for your cabs, they can use your sample to color match it at the paint store...

I'm probably going to offend a bunch of people with this, but I think grey kitchen cabinets will look outdated in 3 years. White is classic!

CF, it's one of those things that if you aren't selling in the near future (less than 5 years)..pretty much anything you do is going to be dated. I'm choosing gray because I want to. I'm not selling my house for 30 years. :)

The picture I posted above gives you gray, white and some creamy/taupes. I love the shots of bright sunny yellow orange.
