We plan to replace our 21 year old Almond referigerator with a new energy star unit. Oak cabinets with Honey/Walnut stained finish. Gold walls. Current dishwasher, cooktop, combo. Hood/ micro and double oven are black. The current refer is almond which matches the Trash compactor (which has changeable panels). I feel the new refer should be black, my spouse says stainless steel. The current cabinet hardware is dark (ORB). Any opinions?

In most kitchens, the appliances all have the same finish. This is for uniformity and eye appeal.
