I prefer orange and turquoise euro style and I can't wait until I can redo my kitchen like that! Some people still think dark brown (espresso) is popular and some say it's white. As far as I'm concerned, anything but oak and especially not pickled!
I keep hearing the espresso vs white. Major difference between the two. So which of those two would I pick? Completely different looks there. I like either one myself too.
I don't know the right answer, but my cupboards are an antiqued painted light butterscotch color, my counters are brown quartz, flecked with orange and other, my floor is a terra cotta tile and the walls are Martha Stewart Garden Shed. Appliances are black, white farmer's sink. It is not my doing, except for the wall color, but I can like it.
My biggest complaint is with the painted cupboards. In places where the cupboards come in contact with water, the paint is failing....something to think about when you choose cupboards.
You asked for the most popular cabinet colors. Here they are. These ARE NOT my opinions so don't anyone post rebuttals or argue. And don't start posting dozens of pictures of white kitchens you find on google.
The following colors are listed as the best selling colors by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Assn. I will add my thoughts on them:
1. Espresso, shades of mocha, cappuccino, burnt lumber, charcoal. I group all these into the same color category. All the rage is dark dark dark dark, sometimes nearly black. For the most part people are choosing to put this color on maple. I do see this fad beginning to lose steam rather quickly
2. Brown, saddle, toffee, rye. I'll group these in shades of brown but a tad lighter then the best selling dark as dark can get fad. My opinion is the fact that lighter shades of browns are now the 2nd best selling color makes one think it may be the next popular choice
3. Cherry, mahogany, maroon, burgundy, chestnut, cinnamon. I group these into the cherry group. People are putting these colors on maple for the most part but those with a bigger budget are putting these colors onto cherry wood for a much richer warmer look. These choices were number 1 all through the early 2000s but dropped out to the current number 1. It is making a very strong come back. My job today was this very color.
4. Dove, canvas, biscotti, light tan. I group these in off white colors. While bright white or brilliant white remains the worst color as far as sales are concerned, these shades of off whites are making a comeback. Especially with glaze options.
You can just choose whatever you like and to hell with any current fads just as Pittchick said. The biggest thing when selling a home is not so much the color of the kitchen but rather it's functionality and newness. The average home buyer can't tell the difference between a cheap junk kitchen and a nice quality built Kraftmaid. ALL THEY SEE IS NEW NEW NEW!!! The color is not as important.
Remember this. The choice to buy or not to buy a home is solely the wife's. The husband has nothing to say about it. And the wife makes that choice based on the kitchen and bath. Period!! A modern newer kitchen and bath will sell a house any time any day any place. Consider the average homebuyer looks at over a hundred homes before they choose. And the vast majority of those homes have old painted wooden boxes for cabinets. A buyer will overlook that crap 100 times out of 100.

OP, you can't go wrong with those.
