We have medium dark mahogany cabinets which are very similar in color to cherry cabinets we have in the bathroom. We have light maple floors and dark gray/black counters. I really like having a mixture of stainless and black appliances. Our range is black with some stainless steel trim, the hood is ss, the dw and fridge are ss, the mw is black and ss (the black door is the dominant color) and just underneath we have a ss large toaster oven. The spattering of black in the appliances tie in with the counters (and the dark hardware and lighting fixtures) and the stainless helps lighten the room a little. Our appliances are spread out and I don't have a good picture showing them as a whole. Here's one that catches part of the range area and the dw.

I went with SS appliances. I really love the look of all stainless. However, they do really get fingerprinted quickly. And I don't have kids! When I was looking at refrigerators, the salesperson showed me some in titanium, I think? That were like a brushed stainless that wouldn't show prints so much. I don't know that I would like black appliances in a kitchen with white cabinets. What kind of counters are you going to do?

Another vote for no black SS. It's just a thin coating that easily scratches off. It also would create a black hole amongst the white, and theres the chance in a few years they'll stop making the color which will make replacing the appliances difficult.

The problem with black appliances is that they absorb light like nobody’s business. Especially a fridge door. Also black stainless has been reported on this forum to scratch easily. Also, I’d be concerned that it’s a new color, and new appliance colors go out pretty fast, unlike classic stainless or white. And finally, black stainless is not very “farmhouse” if that is truly the look you are going for. Though the word “farmhouse” has been used so loosely and ubiquitously over the past few years, so who knows.
