Rethinking the Kitchen

We are really getting close to wrapping up some of the major work in the kitchen, which means I will have lots of photos to post for you of before and after soon!  At the moment we are discussing what direction to take with our kitchen island, and we can't seem to make a decision on the paint color.  I love the idea of creating a distinct look for the island, setting it off from the rest of the kitchen, so rather than matching our countertops with the black granite already in place, our new island is getting white marble instead for a contrast.  I'm also not sure if I can match the hardware from the rest of the cabinets, which I like and don't want to have to replace, so we're going with another finish and shape altogether, again setting the island apart.  The question now is, what color to paint it??  I'm busy painting our other cabinets a pretty shade of white, so we are trying to imagine if we want a subtle contrast with a pastel?  Something punchy and bright?  Or dark and weighty with a high drama factor?  Since it's such a feature in the room, I know we both need to love the color... pressure's on! :)
