How are you progressing with your kitchen? You might like to look at my kitchen refurb as you might find something that will help. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/kitchen-refurb.64150/

Take a photo of the colour you want and then create the material using the photo.

Add extendable runners underneath so it comes straight out like a drawer.
