Have you selected wall colour yet? Appliances & sink stainless steel? What type of handles are you going with? These will help determine if you are leaning to contemporary or traditional. Might help nudge you towards a counter top colour choice. The woods you've picked are all quite warm, so a counter top with some green will really pop, whereas a counter with more browns will blend.

HTH

I agree with previous poster that it will help you to make some other choices to help visualize the counter color you like the most. I needed to see samples laid out together in my "under construction" kitchen. Get Silestone and Caeserstone samples, even if they cost something to order, so you can see it next to your wood, and hold paint chips next to that and tile options next to all of it for a true picture of the blend.
On my monitor, the colors on the Caeserstone website didn't flow to me with your cabinet color. But Silestone did. I don't have all the color names straight on this mock up I started, but at the Silestone website where I copied these color chips you can match it up. I like best the third from the left, Oyster by Caeserstone. But you really have to get the samples to get a true view and live with it a couple days/weeks before you finalize.

Not 100% I got this right but left to right they are

Silestone yellow nile, Silestone giallo quarry, Caeserstone oyster, caeserstone champagne limestone, Caeserstone desert limestone, and Caeserstone Gold Abyss.

Thanks
we have been thinking about bronze/aged looking pulls, simple knobs likely
Then stainless steel appliances
Wood floor, walnut darker stain
Have not decided on kitchen colors or back splash
Any suggestions?
THANKS

Color choosing is so personal and I see you aren't getting a lot of suggestions. It was fastest for me to find an inspiration photo with cabinets in wood I liked. Then check out the different countertop colors in the photos and take the photo with you to a showroom that sells Sileston or Caeserstone and someone who works there can show you the samples next to a sample of your cabinet wood. This is something you have to see yourself to know if you like how they will look together. The website houzz.com has these photos in the kitchen gallery, some from Contemporary, some from Traditional so you can see some light counters, some dark. Good luck!

Start looking at tile right away. If you find tile you are excited about, it will be easier to narrow down the counter choices. Picking tile after you have the counter is tougher, IME. But, that's because I love tile and have only a functional relationship with my counters.

I wonder how a dark countertop w/dark floor & lighter cabinets would look...but you seem to prefer light. Have you checked the Finished Kitchens Blog (FKB)? There are many, many kitchens to look at!

As to picking out paint color first, I actually disagree. Paint is easy & inexpensive to change, counter color is neither (nor are cabinets & flooring). I would pick the counter color you like that goes with your cabinets & floor and then find a paint to match/complement. Then, if you get tired of the paint color, find another one that matches/complements.

Have you looked at Cambria quartz colors? They have some really beautiful ones (Sutton was a favorite), but they are pricey. I was originally thinking of going with quartz until I found that granite was almost the same price.

That's almost the exact color scheme of my previous kitchen, before it got destroyed. Monochromes and polychrome both have strengths and weaknesses. I'm kinda agnostic between them.

This was my kitchen - madura gold granite over maple cabinets with a walnut glaze on walnut flooring. The counter had enough variation to hide all manner of evil spills, but overall it has the same color tones as the cabinets and floor. The entire room was monochromatic - browns and gold tones.

After living with it for a while, it was so warm as to be stifling sometimes - hot days in summer. Others, it was just plain boring.

I will tell you to really, truly, take your time and think that dark floor color as it will show every speck of dust. If you want it, be prepared to work for it or visit roomba's r us.
