I have a yellow Chambers. I'm going to have creamy white cabinets, we're keeping the existing beige tile which is very neutral and the countertops will be baltic brown on the perimeter and butcher block on the island. The backsplash will be a creamy white crackle. Overall, except for the range and my island (that's another story), the fixed elements are neutral.

I'm planning to let the range stand on it's own and tie in the yellow in the window fabric and accessories.

If I ever move, I want to take my yellow range with me. I'll probably replace my range with a mid range SS to sell.

Personally, I feel yellow goes with just about everything. I don't think you need to coordinate your tops with your range. I can't imagine anything that would look terrible with a yellow Bert.

I think it would be difficult to "tie in" and would go with any granite except yellowish ones.

Personally, I would want the yellow range to stand on its own rather than specifically coordinate with the countertop material. I would be careful not to put anything in the kitchen that seemed to clash with the range, but I would not be worried about finding granite that specifically coordinates or matches the range.

Can you share some of the non-coordinating countertop materials that you're interested in?

I think that you will be fine coordinating or just making sure that it does not clash. You can always pick up the yellow in your wall paint color, back splash tiles or kitchen accessories. It is hard to comment without seeing a photo of your other materials. As important as it is to not to have clashing colors, it is also important to have a good balance of values. Your floor and cabinets are light. If I can remember, the yellow for the stove is fairly strong, but considered medium in value (not light, not dark). You may not want it to be the only strong color/medium value in a sea of pales. You want some medium value elsewhere to balance it, but not overpower or distract from the stove.

Mtv20,
You must be getting closer to the choices. It is going
to look amazing. No worries. I think there are many
choices you can go with for a counter but whatever you
do, that yellow range is going to rock your kitchen.
Beautiful. Yes, let the range stand on it's own.

Here are some other yellows and you can see they
all work great. Coordinated or not the range will be
amazing.

Okay this one is not yellow but notice the lovely
combination of yellow and blue and white.
Oh La La Lacanche.

There are tons of countertop options that are not yellow or have yellow tones. Soapstone, butcher block, white, cream and brown marbles, and tons of granite and quartz choices.

Here's white:

I guess we were posting at the same time boxerpups.

mtv20, I was just thinking, if you were interested in doing a yellow toned backsplash, check out pineapple onyx.

If I hadn't already bought tile that I love, I would have gone for this as an accent. My local Floor and Decor carries a few different styles. It's more yellow & gold than it shows on the website (at least my monitor).

A yellow Berta is like a piece of art. You want it to stand on its own. You don't want to dilute its impact by making other things match.

That said, you do need to coordinate with your other colors. if you're doing white cabs, you at least need a warm white, not a cool blue one.

And whoever said "yellow goes with everything" needs to see the man with a newly painted yellow living room and a big pile of fabric swatches sitting on a chair.

Now I'm seeing yellow everywhere LOL!
Here's a Christopher Peacock white kitchen with yellow accessories.
