You will want something that contrasts with the cabinets, go a few shades lighter or darker.

Probably a color in between the dark and light would look the best. The white and I presume you meant dark applances would be cold looking so a warm color might be more appealing. Pick your favorite color and work lighter from there. Kitchen counters are something you will be looking at most of the time, so it must be a color you can live with.

If you go with a dark color the kitchen may seem dismal. What color is your flooring? Maybe pick some color out of that unless it too is dark.
