This is very clearly a subjective question and the answers you get may not, ultimately, be what you find appealing. Having said that, when my wife and I were looking at both new and pre-owned homes, we were very clear that we did not want to see any properties that had black kitchen appliances. It just seemed odd to us, mostly because we never owned black appliances. Well, we attended an open house in TV before we met with our TV agent and we really liked the kitchen and, truth be told, the kitchen had all black appliances. We were sold and then narrowed our search of new homes to those homes that only have black appliances and we are thrilled with the look.
We are closing on our current home in two days and we have high end stainless steel appliances and we love the way our kitchen looks.
My point is to be open minded and to take in to consideration how your kitchen will flow with the rest of your home. I've owned properties that had white, stainless steel and black appliances and for each occasion, the color worked for that specific house.
Good luck with your decision.
