Is your kitchen open to another room, like a family room? I had the same dilemma as you describe. The rest of my house is decorated in warm colors so I thought I had to stay away from gray. Most of the slabs I loved were gray. I ended up with Imperial Danby Marble (white with mostly brown & some gray subtle veining). I did redecorate my attached family room. Guess what paint color my designer chose? La Paloma Gray. It looks fine with the rest of my house.

I've been looking at quarts countertops and really like the swirl patterns that Caeserstone has. London Fog is really pretty. My cabinets are a light wood color, so I think it might be too light for mine (I'm thinking of Dreamy Marfil). I went down to the Caeserstone distribution center today and saw a large slab of both. The London Fog is stunning and would look great with white cabinets.

@Susanne Woolley its a long story, but we eneded up having to return the glacier white because it was an oddly printed slab. we have msi trevi because it was one of the only options availabe. i went with bm white dove. it has enough warmth and grey in it to look good in both east and west exposure. kitchens not completly finished but im happy with it so far! the trevi is a littke darker and warmer than cabinets
