Questions: what exactly do you need an opinion on? White color for the cabinets, specific blues for the island, help with picking a countertop? They're probably over a thousand colors to choose from; you have to help the Houzzers by narrowing it down.

Houzzers will want to know if your design aesthetic is traditional, transitional, farmhouse?

Is this an open concept that you'll be trying to tie it in with a living room or dining room and what does that look like?

Is this a custom home or a renovation? Do you have a budget particularly when it comes to countertops.

What's your flooring color and material?

Countertop material preference? Quartz, quartzite, granite, soapstone???

Do you have inspiration pictures?

This is a very on-trend color palette and there's a lot of blues and whites to go around - which ones are you leaning into?

Good for you on deciding to go with white shaker - very classic choice. Regarding the gray - please do not. The trend is more than fading. Go for the navy. Another issue for consideration is - what are the other colors in your home? I'm a big fan of developing a whole house coordination (cohesive/unified). I'm not saying do matchy matchy - but I am saying look at the other colors when making this decision.

Good points! We are going for a traditional look. The kitchen opens up to living room. Our flooring is medium brown hardwood throughout which we will be keeping in the kitchen. Will be going with quartz, have not chosen it yet but love the look of white with grey veining.

I may consider matching the island with the floor color. Like a stained island.
Navy is pretty too.

What would you do with the hood over range, we’re going to go with a swooping curved hood, I thought a bluish grey color could look good against the white upper cabinets, I want to do a quartz slab backsplash.

I think the stained island would be beautiful with the white cabients, as well as a stained hood. That keeps you from being stuck with navy or gray which have both been overdone imo. When color trends change, you aren't tied to any color and can do anything at all in your adjacent rooms with a wood and white design.
