Decided on the worktops, now the colour scheme

So I've decided we're going to go with Silestone worktops for our kitchen, probably in an off-white/beige. We're getting alabaster kitchen units and have these floor tiles www.tiles4all.co.uk/Tile/-Baldocer-447-x-447-Reverse-Nuez-Floor. Apart from the oak breakfast bar, ovens (black/steel), hob (stainless steel) and hood (stainless steel, glass curve) everything is going to be quite light. In the corner near the breakfast bar we're going to have a slimline vertical radiator (www.hudsonreed.co.uk/products/heating/revive-double-panel). These come in 3 colours, white, stainless steel and anthracite. If I was designing a kitchen around the radiator I would go for anthracite, but I'm not, so am struggling with which one will work. Do I go with contrast or something which blends in?

I'd go white & have done though have made our new kitchen a creamier cream on advice of the kitchen designer as I wanted PBW walls. Current kitchen was cream & walls PBW & I liked it

Pure brilliant white. We have a DIY Kitchens painted alabaster kitchen, oak worktops and white vertical radiators. Looks good.

Thanks wowfudge, really good to know. What colour walls did you go for, I want to avoid the kitchen looking too yellow, who's thinking white cotton?
