Consider the intensity of the color and shading. When cherry wood is newly crafted, the cabinets will have a light, soft tone. As cherry wood is exposed to light, the color of the wood will intensify and darken. Choose flooring that will blend with the darker, mature color of the cabinets rather than the color showcased when they are first installed.
