I like honed black granite.

What colors are the floors? If they are cream/white you probably need some contrast somewhere. If they are wood you have more leeway.

I have dark gray granite with white cabinets and white subway tile - really love it! Looks kind of like this: http://www.decorpad.com/photo.htm?photoId=63154

Go for the contrast.

I like contrast, but black counters show every fingerprint, so be prepared to wipe down often.

I needed to lok at a lot of photos to understand what I liked when I redid my kitchen. The finished kitchens blog was helpful for me.

I agree. Either way, go for a matte finish. That super-shiny polished look is dated.

Galaxy black is timeless

Depends on the floors and backsplash

Dark. How about soapstone?

Yikes! The pots and rack look terrible in this photo.

gray - if you do choose to go shiny, rubbing alcohol plus a drop of dish soap in a spray bottles keeps them beautiful

Anything but white.

Black. White is way too stark. I have white cabinets and soapstone counters.

Go to Houzz and look at the photos of white kitchens and see if the white on white is too much for you.
