did you need to upgrade your appliances?...because the existing black work well with the cabinets. to me, the backsplash does not work with the floor. Maybe if you describe what has been purchased, what needs replacing and where you think optional changes that are in your budget will serve your purpose. the backsplash, black appliances and cabinets are fine...then a change of floor and counter would make sense. If the floor stays, then backsplash change for sure.....and maybe countertop change ….optional change of appliance color. For me, I would want a new floor and work with that shift primarily, when looking at the other elements.

Look for a granite that combines carmel, white and brown. Buy a scoop of Jamoca Almond Fudge ice cream from Baskin Robbins. Those are the colors.

Paint is the last thing to be picked out. I too think your appliances look fine with your cabinets and I like the contrast of the darker countertops.

Have you already bought new appliances?

There are many ways to go with your cabinet tone. I went with light quartz counters, cream subway tile backsplash and cream walls - but lot of different possibilities. I have a wood kitchens idea book with many mid tone wood kitchens:

Two other things to consider: If you replace the backsplash, and before you replace the over the range microwave, consider if you would prefer a dedicated range vent. They work better and are prettier than an over the range micro, but then you need counter space for a small microwave - so what ever works for you. Also, if you do not have under cabinet lighting now is the time to add it. I have mine just between the sink and range - my layout is similar to yours. Adding the lighting was the most functional change I made.

I agree with comments that have already been made. For starters, I think picking a paint colour should be your last concern. You mentioned paint, counters and appliances specifically, but said nothing about your floor and backsplash. As others have remarked, I don't feel they work well together, and so would strongly suggest you think about changing one or both. Having said that, I recommend you select one fixed element you love: backsplash or floor tile, or a countertop material, and go from there. Your cabinets are lovely. They appear to be in excellent shape and look like good, quality construction; a great foundation for a 'new' kitchen.

Some inspiration: kitchens with similarly coloured cabinets......

It looks like you might need some ideas for new countertops and backsplash, since most likely while taking out the countertops the backsplash might get damaged. What about just a nice light countertop?
