My mom has Uba Tuba granite and she painted her cabinets Behr Polar White, which is a crisp clean white and the wall color Pittsburgh Paints Bread Basket to give the kitchen warmth and pick up the gold in the granite and her cork floors. Along with that she has black mirror appliances and black knobs- the kitchen looks great and is a nice balance of black and white and color.

Sorry, I've never even heard of that techique. Did you try google? Luvs

Definitely go with what you love. It’s your kitchen. As for being dated, they are still selling Ubba Tubba, so people must be liking it and buying it. Outdated styles eventually get retired. Here in Pennsylvania, cherry is still a solid choice for kitchen cabs and is a premium high end wood. I just remodeled a bath with dark cherry cabs and Cambria Bradshaw quartz, which is also becoming “dated” according to some. Our plumber said I should be an interior designer when he saw the finished product. I do not regret my choice nor will you if you love it! Good luck!

I guess I’m asking should I paint the cabinets the same color as the trim or is it OK to paint the cabinets a different color white to go with the trim?
