kitchen color opinions

I am trying to decide which color will match best with my new kitchen cabinets. The cabinets will be antique white with sable glaze and black distressed island. The granite will be Napoli. I have narrowed my paint choices to kilim beige or svelte sage. I would love opinions on the colors or if anyone has other suggestions that would complement the cabinets. I am not stuck on any particular color. Thanks!!

I'd do it in SW Hopsack, two colors deeper on the Kilim Beige Strip. It'll make your kitchen look richer, more elegant, and make your cabinets stand out more.

Of the two, I like Svelte Sage. Your cabinets will pop more with a darker color. I do think SW Hopsack or Latte may be nice caramel shades if you go that route.

Get several shades you are considering in the small Color To Go sample jars, paint some poster board and live with them for a few days. That's a great time and money saver.
