EDIT: I chose the lighter one and it does stand out more from the surrounding surfaces. Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

I am designing my kitchen in House Flipper, and I can’t decide between two cabinet colors. The two types of wood I’m stuck on are Wenge and Pale Bleached Cedar. I don’t want the cabinet to blend it too much with the surrounding wood, but I don’t know if Cedar sticks out too much. What are your thoughts?

Wenge

    I vote white. The dark one blends into the wall and the table in a way I don’t like, while the white one joins the contrasting group of light shapes with the door, fridge, and cabinets.

      Yeah, I had a feeling the darker one didn’t look right. I think the lighter cabinet color differs just enough from the pure-white kitchen cabinets and fridge that it doesn’t look like it’s another piece of “kitchen” furniture, but rather “room” furniture if that makes sense.

    The lighter one. I had medium/dark at my old house. Doing white oak with a natural finish at the new one.
