Karen: A light and neutral beige is appropriate -- try Benjamin Moore "Honeyed Almond".

Thanks so much for your help. Do you also have a paint color suggestion that would go well with golden beach granite and my dark oak kitchen?

JohnK: Perhaps a cool gray color will compliment nicely.

Karen: Golden Beach is an excellent choice, it will create a rich and inviting atmosphere. I think you can keep the white subway tile. If you'd like to change it, I suggest doing a natural stone backsplash -- tumbled marble tile.

Hello, I'm new to this post. Can someone recommend a paint color to match Cherry cabinets and Azul Platino granite countertops? Thanks, John

One more question. I now have glossy white tile squares for my back splash. Do you recommend changing them, and if so, to what?

I need help with picking granite for my kitchen. I have oak cabinets, floor, and wainscotting all stained dark walnut. Wall ovens, fridge, dish washer, compactor are white. My 30x60 island has a black countertop stove. There is one window over the sink and a bay window in the adjacent nook area. What is your opinion on using golden beach? What granites would you recommend and would you put a different granite color on the island? Eagerly awaiting your reply.

Would dark cherry wood stained cabinets (more brown thatn red in color) go well with Baltic brown granite?

Lisa: Not a bad choice. I'm hard pressed to find another one... Normally I would lean towards something a bit darker, like Firenza, but the hearth negates that.

My kitchen cabinets are honey maple (slightly darker and more yellow than natural) with wood floors that are a deep brown (no red). I\'ve chosen Giallo Napoleon since it seems to tie the two colors. It\'s one of the ones with a creamy background with pockets/veins of brown, red/rust and caramel in it. I\'m wondering if another granite would fit better. I\'m also planning to use the same granite for a fireplace hearth, so it has to be light enough to stand out against the wood floor.

Missy: Quite honestly, I haven't really seen any blue in that stone. Maybe a slight green cast but that will get lost in the browns and golds surrounding it.

I have an open kitchen with white cabinets and beigeeutral ceramic tile floor. There is a back wall with desk, sink, stretch of counter space and a wall oven. Across from that wall, there is a cook top and a raised bar area around three sides. Across from that I have and open area with cabinets on the bottom with open columns on top.. this is open to my family room.. I have neutral colors, mostly browns and light golds in that room.. I have been looking a giallo napoleone granite. My appliances are white. I know this has a "greenish blue" color running in it, but I have seen pictures in magazine with this color and it was not noticeable. What do you think?

barbara: Absolute Black Honed will look great but might be a handful to keep nice and clean (it tends to show all types of dirt). Another option would be something with a really intense pattern (look at Iguana Green). The second option is more polarizing though and might scare some people off.

We have very plain low lustre oak cabinets, low grain, with an L-shaped kitchen and an eating bar. 32 cabinets and 12 drawers. No pulls, no grooves. Get the picture..plain! Not a lot of natural light; want suggestion re. color of granite. floor is getting replaced, probably tile, and I'm leaning towards stainless appliances. Contemporary home. What is the best granite choice for resale? Thanks!

I have Mahoganey cabinets with a Rojo Picante marble floor and a brownish/orange'ish venetian plaster finish on the walls above the cabinets. I am having a tough time coming up with a proper combination for the granite counter top and all this. We like the Bordeaux but think it might be too busy since the floor is busy already. Any ideas?

We have a small kitchen with medium grainy oak cabinets and paneling. Floor is also similar oak (a very 90's type oak look). What kind of granite would work best here? Would any of the blacks like uba tuba work?

Holli: I'll start backwards. There are only TWO grades. Commercial and Premium. Both grades have similar qualities, but the commercial slabs will have imperfections such as spots, surface pitting and cracks. Premium slabs are near perfect. What you're talking about is the pricing levels. A reputable fabricator will never use commercial quality slabs. Now, on to the first question. The stone you're describing should provide you ample contrast and will let the rest of the kitchen speak for itself.

Hello, We have Cherry stained Oak cabinets and our flooring is a honey oak color, what do you think of the granite color Giallo Arabescato ( it looks like New Venetian gold, San Celia but not as yellow)? Also Is there differnet grades of granite we were told S- for standard, M- for Mid grade and P for Premium, what is the difference? Thanks

Anne: I don't see how it would present any problems (other than if someone hated it). It's not like the future owners would be able to match other giallos anyway. The stone varies a lot from batch to batch. Chances are a few months later you won't be able to get the same batch anymore.

Name: Anne

Date: 2008-04-08 08:25:28

I have looked at some of the other Giallos also. In my area, Giallo Napoleone isn't seen as much as others, such as Giallo Ornamental. Any reason why it is less popular? I don't want to pick a stone that would present a problem if we ever need to sell the house.
