Kitchen Cabinet Colors to match hardwood flooring?

We are doing a new construction of a brand new home and am having trouble deciding on what color the kitchen cabinets should be to go with. We have decided on a flooring, it is Brazilian Cherry here is a sample of what it will look like (http://www.brazilianhardwood.com/photogallery/braziliancherry/lamon.php) we decided on a granite counter that is a cinnamon spice (http://www2.dupont.com/Surfaces/en_US/products/zodiaq/zodiaq_colors.html) I personally think that white cabinets would look excellent with the flooring and the counter color, however my wife begs to differ. She thinks that it will get dirty easier or you could see dirt easier, more cleaning and maintenance (for her). We are going with Omega Dynasty Cabinets Anson (http://www.omegacab.com/imgWindow.asp?ititle=Anson&img=IIDoors/AnsonLg.jpg) It would be great if someone could assist on a color for the cabinets. We are open to input, and suggestions, we are open to having the counter a different color. Thanks!

1. Hi, actually I thought white would look awesome,then I read the rest of your question. So ,Mrs. Wife doesn't want white. You already have allot of dark colors going into the room,so I also thought of a semi- transparent stain,much like white wash. I first again thought of a white white-wash, and thought of a blueish transparent stain that I have from Minwax called Gel stain. And if you want a solid paint color, Glidden makes a set of colors called ,"A Touch of Colors" . It's a very,very faint color,but looks great in a kitchen. To tell you the truth, I personally would use the white-wash look in white,and have glass or something similar in the doors of the cabinets. And they make a safety glass(won't break) in an array of color choices,patterns just for cabinets. Look at Delphi Glass.com to see what I mean. Your Lucky,both of you. Bye
2. I would have suggested white.....but since you're not for that.....maybe a light coat of Early Amercian.. or maybe even a light staining of red oak.....it has a red tint to go with the cherry....but if you have a cinnamon counter might be just a bit to much red. I think I would try and go with a slate color granite
