If you go with a darker counter top like granite go with extremely cheery  
colors on the walls (yellow is great for trying to sell a kitchen as  
light, cheerful & CLEAN; buyers really look for clean!) I would go with a  
really light wood or paint the cabinets white to show off more Cleanliness  
& clean-crisp lines in ur kitchen. Also with a floor choose a lighter  
tile that matches ( you can not go wrong with white tile) or a really  
light hardwood finish or laminate. Go with very light, cheery colors &  
throw in some splashes of bright colors like lime & cherry colors in  
countertop decor & dish towels. It will make it seem fresh & clean & an  
easy sell.  
 
Plus the advantages of painting before selling are immense because that  
paint smell has a clean effect on ur brain & you want ur buyers to think  
that you were an emmaculent house keeper & that they too could keep up the  
clean effect. They want to be reassured that they aren't leaping off of a  
cliff & that it is going to be too much work to update & clean. Buyers  
come into ur home with what I like to call, ''What I need to Update  
Immediately'' List. If there are so many things on that list that they  
have to change before they can feel comfortable in that home, they will  
move on to something with less of a list. If they can buy ur home &  
immediately move into it & not have to drastically change wallpaper &  
paint as their first things it makes ur house look like it is completely  
''Move in Ready'' as opposed to the house down the street where grandma &  
grandpa haven't updated it in 50 years. Home selling is hard so I wish  
you good luck!
