| White appliances compliment brown cabinets better than most alternatives. Stainless steel would make the area look industrial, black would be just flat ugly and red/blue/etc would look comical. Countertops, back splash, and wall colors can compliment the white/brown plainness. |

| Maybe don't help your sister work up a remodel on her kitchen. Sounds like you already don't like her choices and for our home appliances are KEY in there for g'ness sake! I happen to like white appliances, they are timeless and easy to keep clean. |

| ok, thanks handymac and sasafras. She can have any color appliances she likes, I am just not sure what color cabinets she should be looking at, she first mentiond Cherry, then she kinda liked a glazed wood called Whiskey Black. Sasafras, what color cabinets do you have with your white appliances? |

| Thank you annz, I saw these pictures on the Finished Kitchen site. Some were helpful, She has been instructed by her husband, "No Painted Cabinets" so White Cabinets are out. So I am looking for the correct color natural wood finish that will complement the white appliances. Thanks again. |

| Try hickory or mahogany cabinets. Hickory is a lighter than brown and has lots of character. |

| If possible find an excuse to hand this off to a cabinet supplier; no good deed goes unpunished. |

| There isn't a 'correct' color to go with white cabinets. White is a neutral color, and goes with anything. Look for some other aesthetic touchstone to give you direction. |

| We have maple cabinets left in natural coloring, along with light oak hardwood flooring. The space is fairly small so the white appliances brighten it actually. The sink is white porcelain which pulls everything together. If your sister has a large space to work with I think cherry would be lovely! |
