Something bright. Exactly what depends on how much color is in the cabinets. My kitchen (with white cabinets and mostly white tile countertops, wood floors) is screaming chartreuse/lime. Whatever you do, I would stick with a warmer shade. Red is said to increase appetite, one reason it is frequently used in dining rooms (along with how great it makes people look with candlelight; I'm currently considering a dark red for my own dining room).
