Is it too much to do the perimeter of the kitchen in absolute black granite and the island with a different granite? Should the cabinet color (white) be the same if the island is the focus piece or should it be different also. Is that too much?

This question is very general...as a concept what you suggest is fine....without seeing your kitchen it is not possible to be more specific...

Yes, it can be done.
I would not do it myself, I like things to match. Is your kitchen rather large?

Love black for perimeter. Not crazy about an island box in another paint color. Almost the elephant in the living room thing. I would do all white cabs and all black counters.

Contrasting kitchen islands are all the rage now. Go for it.
