We are redoing our floor in this gray tile. I’m not sure what color wall, trim and cabinet color would go best? Should I leave the cabinet color & just paint the walls? Paint the cabinets white? Any advice is appreciated!

Are gray interiors just a fad on their way out?
All colour trends - such as grey - are precisely that, trends. Their popularity will wain at some point. This is not a judgement on grey or any other colour, rather a statement of fact.
Look at the history of the use of colour in interiors and you’ll see it ebbs and flows with time. The key - from my perspective - is buying what you genuinely like; not what the culture of the moment dictates is popular. It is your home and you should enjoy it.
Now of course if you factor in ‘catering to the masses via trends’ because you think your home is a piggy bank waiting to be broken open when the market hits a high, then you would be well advised to use an on trend colour such as grey... so long as you get out before that trend passes.
