The first one. Sausalito Bay Breeze

They are very similar in color, but why "use your imagination" for the cabinets? Everything needs to work together, you shouldn't select items in isolation.

You post the choices here with a picture of your space that is how you get help. Post in a comment DO NOT start another post. I for one do not want to have to go on the search.

This is new construction so there's nothing to post pictures of. Cabinet selections haven't been made yet so based on the flooring we end up with, we'll pick cabinets.

Avoid Stanton Lenox Peak Blanca. You're welcome. :)

Neither. Something more realistically wood colored, and more subtly grained, would be a better direction.
