I have ordered a panel to hang succulent plants around the kitchen window which I'm I doubt Which color should be: white or dark brown..... all the kitchen tiles will be replaced for white ones..... What do you think would be better? I'm so in doubt.... the kitchen closets are white too.

I think it will look good, and white is likely best color. But I will repeat that succulents need lots of light and it may possibly be too dark for them. They start etiolating = stretching, very soon after put in low light. They would need strong supplemental lights to grow compact as they should. Haworthias would grow in lower light, but vast majority of succulents need 6+ hrs of really good light. But there are many other plants that will grow in low light, and also are small.

I would definitely use white - for light reflection more than anything else...But I wonder what plants are you planning on putting there? Those horizontal 'slats' are quite wide. Maybe they will create too much shade? I am assuming that it will fit into window opening. Glass is privacy glass, isn't it? That also cuts down some of the light. Obviously, depends on plants needs.

I intend to put vases with little succulent plants inside little vases and on the top will be vases like the pic attached below. On the vertical way will be little white vases . This panel will be builded in the correct size so I am not worried about it. I just thinking about which colour of it should be, considering that all the kitchen will be in white colours.....

Happy to suggest and wish you the best with your project! If you need suggestions for specific plants &/or their care, this forum &/or the cacti & succulent forums are where I would post those questions. Many succulent plants need at least an hour of direct sun to stay compact and normal looking.
