Cabinet color and highlights

We are doing a major kitchen remodel (17' x18' u kitchen) and are really confused with our cabinet selections. We are looking at a 2 tone kitchen with stacked light perimeter cabinets (whites) and dark choclate brown island (7 ' x 5'8") We are looking for a transitional look. Our floors are 5' oak and are gonna b restained to a medium to dark brown color. We are looking for a transitional doorstyle on our perimeter cabinets and a traditional raised panel doorstyle on our island. All appliances will be paneled (other than ovens) and we would like brushed nickel hardware.

White perimeter cabinets come in plain white or with dark brown / grey highlights. What's the best option? It seems like the highlights will change the tone of the white color to make it brown or grey? Will highlighting affect the overall look and make it more traditional? If we put the highlights, will it better to have medium color countertops everywhere? we were initially thinking of black countertops in perimeter and white granite or quartzite on the island.
