Help with kitchen colors please

Hi All!
We are finally getting around to updating our kitchen and I could use some advice. Cabinets will stay Java. We are redoing the island. It will be rectangle and turned parallel to the sink/fridge wall. There will be a prep sink and cook top in it. Wall ovens will be replaced with a single oven and a microwave. Cabinet above the existing microwave will be replaced with a longer one to match the one on the left. We will be using quartz for the countertops. The kitchen is very bright-lots of natural light. I’m open to changing paint color. Support pole can’t be moved. Floors are honey oak and will be refinished to either a light raw wood or a medium neutral tone.

Questions:
1. What color quartz?
2. What color backsplash?
3. Should the new island be java also or is there a color that looks nice with the nearly black existing cabs?
4. Anything else that stands out that I should consider?

Thanks!

    I would consider a light quartz in some sort of marble veining- there are many to choose from- I've posted silestone's eternal calcutta gold. Both the island and perimeter counters. Your island could go the same as your cabinets, white or you could look into Sherwin Williams Loggia- it's a nice warm stone color. picture below. I would suggest an elongated white subway style backsplash- the one pictured below is from one of our jobs- it's hard to tell in the photo but it has a wave to it that bounces the light. I've pictured a warm style of pendant that you could do multiples of over your island. wall color shown is Sherwin William's Gossamer Veil. Its a nice warm and very light. Can look grey. I've also attached a photo of a paneled column. It might be nice to add some visual weight to the support column between the living room and kitchen. trimming it out could make it feel more like an established piece and not something you have to work around. My main concern with adding the cabinet in place of the microwave is making sure you match the existing style and color of current cabinets correctly. Good luck and have fun!

      I think your ideas are nice. What stands out to me is that all of your furniture is dark also. I did this when I moved into my home and I desperately want to change that.

      Thank you both so much! Ladd I really appreciate the details and gorgeous photos. I love your ideas!

      Regarding the dark furniture....the 2 original pics are from the owners before-it’s all I could find. We do have a dark couch but that’s really the only dark besides the cabinets. Our kitchen table is white. I totally get what you’re saying....I’m not a huge fan of dark colors but the dark cabinets don’t bother me like I thought they would. All the natural light makes a huge difference. Thank you!

      Something like Viatera Quartz surface from LG with simple cream backsplash would look nice. My cabinets are not as dark as yours, but we have a similar look going on. We just did a facelift earlier this year. Here is my kitchen below. We went with Fiore Bianco granite/cream crackle backsplash & i'm so in love with it.
