Rehabbing a rental - white or brown baths and kitchens?

I am in the Cleveland suburb market. The houses we rehab are going to be rentals for about $1200/month and have a ARV value of $120,000 which is entry level housing in this market.

I know HGTV ect is going white on kitchens and baths, which I do like but is it a good idea when rehabbing for a long hold rental? 

I tend to upgrade my rentals better then other investors might recommend, but I think it pays off long term and in resale.

What do you all use in your kitchen and baths for rentals, pictures would be great!

We've been doing dark gray in all of our flips lately and they always seem to sell before we list them.  Despite what people say, dark gray makes rooms seem bigger, not smaller.  It's a more modern look, which is what people seem to want today.  We stay completely away from browns except for the wood floors.  These are pictures of a current flip that is not finished yet but is under contract.
