Wooden worktop for racing green kitchen?

We are having a very dark green wooden kitchen made (along the lines of F&B Studio Green) and I'm looking for the right wooden work surface to go with it.

I LOVE the colour and character of the iroko one in the picture below, but I understand it will get much darker as it matures and I don't want too dark a wood as I'm worried it'll make the whole kitchen feel gloomy.

Does anyone have any recommendations they could share with me? Nothing else really seems warm enough or has enough character, and I don't really like the light woods such as maple or ash which would probably work well!

Fyi, I'm complementing the green with bronze / copper taps, handles, etc and a copper antique glass splashback.

I'd welcome any thoughts or advice..

Thanks

I

    Hi,

    You could try elm or oak - both warm colours but not as dark as iroko. They're much more environmentally friendly than iroko too, because they're not imported...and you'd be supporting UK timber growers.

    My kitchen is similar to the one in that picture and we've had oak worktops. Even though we also opted for a caramel bamboo flooring the room is still very bright as we've kept everything else neutral. It depends on the light and shape of your kitchen, but a dark worktop won't necessarily make the room gloomy.

    What colour is the floor and how light is the kitchen to start with ?
