I was not sure. But if so, what about painting the cabinets grey?, changing the hardware to a more substantial pull, changing the counters to white with a little grey mixed in, a rectangular box light fixture over the island. About the island, what about a butcher top? and made into a true rectangle.

The problem is not with the cabinet color but with the granite and backsplash. I agree to replace it with a more contemporary countertop material like Ceaserstone, Silestone or Quartz, in white, depending on the budget. Make sure the backsplash is the same material which would make it look outstanding.

Now, if the home owner really wants the cabinet color changed I could see a Miles Redd (the dark blue kitchen he did) treatment - but this is distinctive look, not for everyone, and its very expensive to lacquer cabinets.
