Deb: Crema Bordeaux has more garnet, the Delicatus is more beige/peachy. I'd go with the Delicatus.

I should add that there is a near-by powderroom which I would like to resurface in the same materials. However, here the floor is ceramic tile in a fairly crisp white with pinkish shadows and burgundy grout. Is there enough garnet or red in these two choices to go with both a beige/grey floor and a white/burgundy floor? I am afraid I might be trying to force a match of 2 color families.

Our planned kitchen reno is very white -- white cabinets (final colour TBD); a light beige/grey faux stone floor, white walls, and a soft white backsplash with a sprinkle of italian tiles in bright primary colors. My granite countertops need to provide interest, but I don\'t want anything too dark or too brown. What do you think about Crema Bordeaux or Creme Delicatus? Any other suggestions? Thanks

Any suggestions for granite colors for "tract-house" oak cabinets that would also look good if I painted my cabinets antique white. We are not sure whether we will paint them, so we need something that will look good either way. We are on a budget too, so typhoon bordeaux is out of the question, although I really like it. Floors are dark cherry wood, not a lot of red in them, wide plank.

Also, while you're remodeling, change those fluorescent under cabinet lights. They kill the color of the granite. Warm light will enhance it.

gail: Never heard of the name. But that doesn't surprise me as many warehouses and fabricators will change the names to make the stone seem exclusive to them.

I have dark oak cabinets and a light tiled floor with some brown and black specks throughout. I do not have a large kitchen - what color granite & backsplash should I be looking at? I saw something called St. Ceclia that I liked but have trouble picturing it in the kitchen.

Jasmine: If you like light colors - Kashmir White or Milky White. If you'd rather go a bit darker, there are plenty of golds to complete your look.

I have cherry cabinets with a natural stain,white sink and white appliances, what types of granite would you suggest for the countertops

kim: Try Butterfly Antique or Butterfly Gold.

Go with a darker color granite, Uba Tuba for example or emerald green or verde butterfly. I have the same kitchen cabinet color and my dad used Uba Tuba on the island.

Doing a stone carpet in foyer. Multi-Red Onyx border-Need suggest. for field color. Considering Madura Gold, but foyer leads into open kitchen w/maple cabs and stain.appli. Is Madura Gold enough of a contrast w/cabs., or should we use a red/amber tone granite? If so, which red tone would you suggest that comes in tiles, too? Thank you, Bridgett

Karen Muller: Good choices would be Uba Tuba, Blue Pearl, Blue and Black if you like to have quiet specly pattern. If you prefer you cuotertops to show more movement and vaining you may go with Blue Barracuda, Verde Italia, Verde Bamboo.

Jenna: If you want to go into warmer lighter colors you may look at Colonial Gold, Creama Italia, Harvest Cream. Yellowish tones with a little bit of warmer brown streaks and a creamy background.

Jerry: Bordouex is a good option but in fact you may go with variety of different colors. If you want more contemporary look try to look accros the color wheel to break up color schematic. Maybe Verde Sequoia?

Please let me know a couple color recommendations that would go with pickled cabinets and oak wood floors. I'm thinking a lighter color. The dark stones don't seem to go with pickled cabinets. thank you!

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2007-03-26 12:23:45

Excellent choice. This is the regular bordeaux. The crema one is slightly more reddish, less orange so it should work even better.

I have darker cherry perimeter cabinet and a center island that is cream but can look yellowish if wrong granite is choosen. The kitchen floor I would like to keep a darker color to match ajoining room with hardwood. Choosing a granite color is difficult. What do you think about creme bordeaux? And is that what you have showing as Bordeaux?

Becky, Giallo and Santa would look perfect, since they have a lot of baige and brown tones which would match your kitchen the best.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2007-03-05 14:01:18

I would recommend Crema Bordaeux.

could you recommend any granite that has tans, browns and or creams without any pink, orange or yellow tones?

do you think santa cecilia, giallo veneziano or desert brown would look better with white cabinets, med oak floors and a large kitchen with a 6 foot by 6 foot island. The adjacent room has a lot of earth tone warm colors.

We've looked at tobacco and it seems to have orange in it which is a problem because the walls in the kitchen are a deep rose. How would UbaTuba or Violetta look? The latter has some red in it and UbaTuba is popular and might be acceptable to a new buyer.

Jay - That's Golden Rock. Although it has both red and green in it, the main color is rather on the yellowish side, so this might not do the trick. Try Bordeaux Terracota or perhaps Tabacco.

What stone is #47 and would it fit in with the concept of minimizing the yellowness of oak cabinets? You mentioned using green or red. DW doesn't like green and we wonder if the red color in #47 would fit your recommendations. Thanks for your help!

You have an amazing web-site. What is the # of Santa Cecila? I have a cape cod and removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room to open up the area, as it is small. I have autumn maple cabinets with a chocolate glaze and silver and black apppliances. Any suggetions you have will be appreciated. Thanks.

What is the name of the granite used int the top photo on the Kitchens Gallery? It is not one of the choices to comment on, but is your main Kitchen Gallery photo? It's a cream color top with brown accents on a very dark brown scrolly cabinet edge. Thanks.
