I would do the opposite and go for black lacquered cabinets. In the evening, you probably want your living room to be the focus. If you have gloss white, this will draw the eye to your kitchen and not your living room.

Of course, if you go for black, your lighting should be very good - and on a dimmer.

I would avoid red and yellow accents because that colour combination doesn't reflect the sophistication of the room - unless you put a poster of Roy Lichtenstein up. I would suggest using blacks and silvers with metallic sheens that capture light and add visual texture: velvet, suede or pony.
