That is a tough one! My first thought was white, but the grey has some moodiness which I like for the dining room. Plus, it will be an easier transition for your husband when you paint them green some day, lol! Are you doing any tiling/wallpaper behind the dining room cabinets? Good luck with your project!

Haha, I like the way you think!  Yes, definitely one or the other - wallpaper or tile, leaning towards tile.  Maybe 4x4 Montauk Gin or a pattern.  Thanks for your input!

I agree - gray. It just seems to fit a DR better (IMO of course).

BTW, can you get an easy reach upper cabinet for the corner instead of the angled? Easy reach really is easier to access in an upper.

Gray, definitely.

I'd probably pick the white and do something different w the counter choice...backsplash option ..stained or painted shelves....maybe insert glass doors in the uppers w lit interior. Dining spots can contain more personalized things not only the table with ts wood species/ or paint ... chairs-covered?? /rug / table decor/ art on walls etc so the white would be a better pick as the gray has to be heeded when choosing the "other things" . If there are no drawers...but why dont you get one drawer with the hinged lowers?? then you are saving money ....and the glass doors w lit interior would be my firm request.

@raee_gw zone 5b-6a Ohio I did email the cabinet folks about doing an easy reach upper.  Thanks for your color vote!

@herbflavor planning on doing glass uppers for the bar (you couldn't tell that's what the rectangles were in my drawing? 🤣).  We will be using uppers for the base cabinets, bumping them to 15" depth, so that's why there's no drawers on the bottom.  There is a tall window 10" from the wall, so we didn't want to block it with full depth base cabinets.  It's kind of hard to describe.  Definitely will do something different with the counter and/or backsplash.  Thanks so much for you input!

My thought is not to do cabinets at all in the dining room, after all it is not part of the kitchen. Consider using a sideboard, instead, in a color that relates to the island (same eye level) but not one that has any doors which resemble the cabinet fronts.
