Actually this would depend on your countertops. I like a green color sink in a kitchen that has black in it. But again if your countertops do not have green in them this will look horrible. Check out the color in your countertops and see how it looks next to your stove. Now pick one of the lighter colors in the countertop and try to match this color for your sink. I know you can always go back to stainless sinks but if you are looking for color I would try to get a color that fits with your countertops if it were me.

I would choose a black sink. Depending on the color of your counter top and the other colors you use in the kitchen, a black sink can complement almost any color scheme or décor.

My kitchen will have juparana crema bordeaux granite, cinnamon cupboards, and a Venetian bronze faucet. What color sink would work? I am thinking of cafe brown or would a contrasting light color be better?

The light colors show scratches and pot marks. The brown will show dirt as a lighter color. I prefer the lighter color myself, but you will have to think about how much maintenance you want.

What about black? I had to google the granite as I had not heard of it and it is gorgeous! Very rich!

This link had a black sink and it was very attractive:

copper undermount would be nice. i like it more so because white stains a bit easily

I would think the biscuit apron would blend in with the colors better in your kitchen.

I would go with apron biscuit it will match your kitchen.

Your kitchen has a lot of white already, I would go for the copper under mount. I think that would make it look really nice and give more dimension to the room in its entirety.

Step 1
I cannot quite tell where your sink will go.

Step 2
Is it under the window ??

Step 3
If so I would go with the apron biscuit as the cabinets are a sand color.

I would choose the biscuit. It is a warmer look than stark white.

I am building a new country/cottage style kitchen. The cabinets are an off-white/linen color (more cream than white), the island is a distressed/antiqued black, and the appliances are stainless. I want to go with a white farmhouse sink, but will that work if the cabinets are more creamy than white?

I think it will work just fine. White goes with anything and if you ever want to change your colors in your kitchen, anything will go with the white sink.

Where is it written that sinks and cabinets must match? I personally feel a cottage kitchen needs a white sink. You could put a back splash with peach or yellow depemding upon your taste. Cottage/country style lends itself to creative use of color and accessories. The idea being that nothing matches in gramma's cottage because she was years in collecting all this stuff.

People use white enamel/porcelain sinks all the time with cream color tile, paint, cabinets. It's called the bathroom. It seems to work just fine.

I think the white will be just fine but there are stainless steel farmhouse sinks, that may look good too.

I have truly enjoyed my creamy satin-finished formica counter tops with a creamy double, porcelain sink, for over twenty five years, and they are still pristine. I have black and chrome appliances, flat black glass range top, and med. Ash cabinets which are also still good. I need to update but haven't the money to do it, except that I have found curbside a new white double oven, a new vent hood exhaust fan in white, and a white dishwasher, which need installing, now that the appliances are damaged and almost out.

If I had it to repeat, I'd still go with the overall clean look of matching sink and counter tops, because it gives the counter tops an uninterrupted span that is attractive. Mine are cluttered now, but when cleared, the fact that it all matches, with the least distracting mismatches, is soothing to my sensibilities and my eye.
May god bless and help you make the right decision. : )

You only mentioned the color of your sink but are you going with contrasting counter-tops are will they be the same as the sink?
If the same I'm not sure about black for everything but a black sink sounds nice. I would go to Lowe's or Home Depot, or(?) and take a look at their counters and sinks as they have excellent displays.

Stainless steel would add some neutral color without being out of place or pricey, but black would keep it classy while camouflaging it from the island top. Good luck.

I agree with Yonder178. The black, especially if you get the stone look style, not black shiny. I would go with a brushed nickel faucet.

The color that screams to me is the beige sinks. You don't want to draw attention to your sink, esp if you are cooking and dishes might be in it.

I like kitchen appliances that are just there without screaming look at me. But then, that is the kind of person I am, Background, never foreground.

We just installed hickory cabinets and were wanting to put in a dark brown sink with a bronze faucet. What are your opinions? We will have granite installed with some color of the cabinets.

Should I go with the brown sink or think black or stainless? The hardware on the cabinets is a dark bronze. Thanks in advance.

This sounds like a personal preference question! It sounds like you have a lot of brown and bronze tones. Have you thought of a contrasting lighter color like cream or beige with the bronze faucet? ...Just a thought.. Black & Dark Brown will most definitely show water spots & other such like a lot sooner than a lighter color or stainless steel.

I personally would go with the brown sooner than black because of this very thing, but because contrasting shades and colors look better than all med. shades or all dark shades, etc... (and again personal preference) I'd probably go with a lighter sink.

Definitely black. Black would help create a very pleasing contrast. Black is also a nice colour that hides waterspots, dirt, and other unsightly things.

If all your other appliances are white, I would stay with white for a sink color. I don't think cream color goes well with gray.

Short answer is yes. With the dark wood and the dark sink the 'pop' that all rooms need will come from the counter tops. the longer answer is, exactly what type of wood and what type of white and what type of black are you talking about for each of these items? there are many shades of each and you could run into a problem, say, if the white isn't really white, the wood is a lighter shade and the only dark 'pop' is from the sink.

That is a problem because the sink is such a small piece of the entire room. But, from what you described, I think you should be ok with the black sink. Done right, it can be a real nice touch. Good luck!
