People are branching out with their cabinet choices since it is no longer necessary to replace the whole shebang to get a different look.  Paint, stain or a combination of the two can cover up your existing cabinet finish including those white melamine/thermafoil cabinets that are standard in many homes.

Another trend is to paint or stain the island or peninsula a different color than the cabinets.

There is no need to play it completely safe with your cabinet finish because it can be changed just like your wall color.
