I bought this brand new TONSTAD extendable table with oak veneer, assembled it, then moved it into an empty room while we painted the kitchen. I placed a few things on it and they left behind these super weird stains or discoloration. Everything on the table was clean and dry - I'm talking like a piece of paper and a microfiber cloth, that sort of thing.

The room gets a good amount of sun. The areas under the items are lighter than the rest of the table now and the marks won't come off. What happened and how can I fix this??

I'm planning to remodel my kitchen with IKEA Vedhamn white oak veneer cabinetry. Any recommendations for a wall color to complement this (not my photo obviously)?

My current kitchen is white cabinets with white walls. I'm honestly sick of white and am hoping to bring in some more color...
