I might be wrong but most women go with the stain and the colors never looking at the grain pattern to see if its even the correct wood for the color. A maple cabinet stained cherry might go unnoticed to the woman's eye and most men actually.
What's the grain pattern have to do with the stain? I've never really thought much about it (and I certainly wouldn't notice by eyeball) but I just associate certain colors with certain woods and that seems more important to me on something as massive as cabinets. If I wanted deep, dark cabinets I would first check out cherry, golden--maple. Then again there are all the other factors like durability etc.
I can't fathom oak though. The whole damn house was Golden Oak at one time and the kitchen and bath still are. I'm sick to death of Golden Oak.
That's what I'm saying, why get the expensive wood if its the color that's important.
