Saltillo tile floors - Does It *Have* to be White Cabinets?

I don't care for white-painted cabinets. I love natural materials, and greatly prefer light-colored, natural-finish wood.


That said, a local cabinet supplier (supposed to be among the best) told me that he could not get natural wood cabinets light enough to go with my terra-cotta tile floor. He said the lightest he could get was golden oak (which really doesn't go). He argued that if I ever want to sell my house, I really need white painted cabinets.


I'm disappointed, even a little upset. I suggested blonde maple or birch, and he just shook his head.


What do you all think? Is he right, or should I continue looking for someone who will sell me natural maple or birch cabinets, light enough to complement my terra-cotta floors?
