Sorry but the photo shows everything as 'blue'. An outdoor shot on blacktop in the shade isn't the way to show colours. Please post a photo that is in regular lighting.

And are you LOOKING to create a very dark kitchen? The espresso cabs are going to be POWERFULLY dark. The yellow in the Taj Mahal quartzite isn't going to brighten it up enough to move it from dark to medium brown. You will have produced a brown on brown kitchen (yes...taj will take on quite a bit of 'brown' when paired with espresso).

The yellow tone of the counter tops will dictate EVERYTHING else in that kitchen. Which means you need a yellow based floor (like natural white oak flooring) and yellow based backsplash (like limestone-looking porcelain tiles) and most likely yellow based walls.

The Taj Mahal is what is driving all that 'yellow'. Be very aware of what you are doing to yourself and your home with all that brown and yellow. The dark cabinets and yellow/brown counters were very 2000's. These types of kitchens are getting ripped out at a record setting pace.

Please ensure this is what you REALLY want....because I would hate for you to pay $50K for a kitchen that turns out to be the 'Brown Blahs'. It is really disheartening to see.

But first...new photos.

What would you suggest beside bring out the yellow using Taj. I really don’t want to use yellows. I’m not set in stone on any color yet. But I do have the Taj Majal purchased. That is the Taj I have in the pic. I can change color cabinets to make everything go together. I’m open to suggestions. On the left are samples of flooring with Taj.

Agree with the other posters. Stick with warm tones like the Taj wants and avoid the super dark cabinets. I'd stay away from grey wood as well, it will not be a timeless design choice. Go for a natural stained cabinet color and a medium stained hardwood.

Also tough to tell with zero info about the house, natural light, etc, etc.

Taj mahal with dark cabinets is a cave:

Ahhhh...Groveraxel hit the nail on the head with the "Taj with light wood cabinets". That's very pretty. Taj is yellow based. There is no way around it. You can minimize the look by staying in SUPER LIGHT yellow tones such as natural birch or beech cabinets. If you wish to work with white cabinets then work with an antique white that has more yellow in it than a crisp white (which is blue based).

You state you can change the cabinet colours...do you have examples of the other cabinet options from the builder/cabinet maker?

Started rebuilding we lost our home in the fires in northern California and I need to start making choices flooring cabinets colors and I’m stuck on everything because I don’t know Decour uncoordinated with colors as you can see. The only thing we have purchase was the Taj Mahal the big stone that’s in the picture. Yes we are able to do whatever on cabinets using Alder or Cherry wood are our wood choices from contractor. We may stain or paint our cabinets. Flooring we can do tile, LVP I really need to make choices. Our framing is going up this week and it’s tough. Will be a 1900 square-foot home.

Of course, grover picked the worst example out there!

If you do Taj Mahal with dark stained cabinets then you need to pick a backsplash that is as light as the TM. Light flooring helps too, but not necessary.

This isn't a cave:

Also not a cave:

Another one (I wouldn't have used the 4" splash, just the tile)

I'm so sorry to hear that you were affected by the wild fires. It is stressful to remodel even under ideal circumstances. Do you have a designer helping you?

I'm not a pro, just a homeowner. I don't have Taj Mahal in my own house, but recently, my Dad asked all the adult kids to handle his vacation home remodel. We chose Taj Mahal for the kitchen counters. The kitchen is open to the dining and family room area. The dining and family area have a lot of warm colors and stained wood. We decided to put in warm white painted cabinets in the kitchen. This combination looks really nice. In my opinion Taj looks best with warm white. If you really want a stained cabinet, I'm not sure, but maybe a natural stain.

If you choose dark colors, you need to add additional recesssed and under cabinet lighting to your kitchen. You should have than in your plan already. But with dark colors, you may need to upsize and get more lumens.

The Taj Mahal Quartzite is beautiful. After looking through pictures, warm white cabinets really do seem to bring it out beautifully. What about doing a mix of warm white painted and stained cabinets with a lighter natural wood floor?

Why the need to mix stain cabinets and painted? Just painted with the taj. And the light white oak natural flooring

Well, OP started with stained cabinets, so I thought mixing the two might keep a bit of her original plan.

Lots of advice. I’ll have to see if natural light comes in enough if I decide dark. Kitchen will be on south side with two large windows. Facing the east side plenty of windows. Yes I’m having lights under counters. Now should I have cabinets to ceiling? Or a foot lower? It will be 9 ft ceilings. Volted in living room.

go look at my page under idea book new build -Gabe our cabinets are at 8 feet with 11 ft vault.

This is what we did in a recent design for a client. Notice the backsplash color with the dark cabinets?
