Some similarly priced German brands offer a choice of several interior colours

In contrast, some similarly priced German brands offer a choice of several interior colours to choose from rather than just white. Therefore, with these brands, if you are buying a coloured kitchen, you can have a coloured interior.

So, for example, if you are buying a dark grey kitchen, you can have a matching dark grey interior. Having a dark grey kitchen with a matching dark grey interior looks a lot more up-market than it does with a white interior.
