I have maple cabinets with pickled (opal) finish. We are looking at an autumn brown granite countertop or possibly a veneziano. Which would you recommend? Or is there anything better?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:51AM, Aug 2 2010.
Patty: Veneziano is an excellent choice for your cabinet wood. I also recommend Tropical Brown for something a little darker.
Connie - GUESTat 04:57PM, Jul 20 2010.
I have cherry cabinets with baltic brown tile on counter tops and 6 " blacksplash. I would like to extend the backsplash. Any suggestions or should I continue with more baltic brown. I think I would like some contrast or a ribbon between the tiles.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:43AM, Jul 21 2010.
Connie: You can break things up with a light tumbled marble tile, it will provide an excellent contrast.
Lisa - GUESTat 07:54AM, Jul 11 2010.
Placing cherry cabinets with a brindle stain, my husband likes the baltic brown granite with these cabinets. IS this is good match? What color for the walls. We were thinking in the beige family, Honeyed almond or shaker beige. Suggesstions for flooring tile. Tiling sitting area along with dining area. Lighting is adequate.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:48AM, Jul 12 2010.
Lisa: I suggest a travertine tile for the floors and leaning towards the BM "Honeyed Almond" as paint.

Picked out baltic brown granite and Merillat Senecca Ridge Maple Toffee cabinets. FOr flooring my choices are Bruce Hardwood Sekection... Brass COrn Silk Country Natural Kenya and Whiskey Which one would go the best... cant find samples to see ...
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:47AM, Jul 1 2010.

tropical brown is expensive ,golden garnet is at discount price will it look good in my kitchen
Thanks again
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:52AM, Jun 4 2010.
ANIL: Not much contrast but if you're looking for a light and warm feel then it will look great.
ANIL - GUESTat 01:44AM, Jun 2 2010.
I would like some suggestion please.
My kitchen has Maple caramel cabinets and the flooring is white tile.
What granite colors would look good. I'm trying to pick from one of these:
1. Baltic Brown
2. Tropical brown
3. Golden garnet
Or any other suggestion would be really appreciated
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:59AM, Jun 2 2010.
ANIL: I'm leaning towards Tropical Brown. It will create the key contrast to offset your maple cabinetry.

I am building a new house and have to make a quick decision about granite. I have dark espresso cabinets, and I have to choose between St. Cecelia and Baltic Brown. Our floor will be hardwood, a medium brown shade. I went to look at some slabs, and the St. Cecelia seems to be pretty golden/yellow and I don't particularly like gold tones. Please help me decide which would look best.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:46AM, May 27 2010.
Kristin: I'm all for contrast, so the Santa Cecilia would offset the dark cabinetry nicely. For a less yellow stone similar to Santa Cecilia, try New Venetian Gold or Giallo Ornamental. They have more beige highlights.
Debbie - GUESTat 03:51PM, May 12 2010.
Thanks for the quick reply. One thing I forgot to state that the floor would be staggered, or should I square it instead. I really would like or need any suggestions on a back splash. Thank you so much, its such a big decision and I was unsure of the colors Debbie
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:51PM, May 12 2010.
Debbie: I'm leaning towards the square tile design as the flooring is already busy, the square design is simple. For backsplash try a tumbled botticino marble tile.

I have birch cabinets with light green accents, white appliances, and a seafoam tile floor. I just installed baltic brown countertops with a ss sink, but don't know what to do for a backsplash. What do you recommend?
Carrie - GUESTat 11:28AM, Apr 14 2010.
I am planning on natural maple cabinets with a dark glaze and a black inset running along the top and a black island. The floor will probably be a med/dark hardwood floor. I am wanting to use baltic brown for the countertops but I am not sure if it will all look ok together. I would like to use a light gold or green on the walls. I am wanting to avoid a modern look and go for a more tuscan style. Would all of this accomplish that or just clash. Also, I would like to install an apron sink but do not know which color for the sink and appliances would look best. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:03AM, Apr 15 2010.

Marlene - GUESTat 06:49PM, Apr 12 2010.
I have natural maple cabinets, but they are 17 years old, so they've darkened to a peachot quite orange tone. The ovens and dishwashwer are white and the fridge has maple panels. My original countertop is white and I've never been able to find a granite that looks good. I recently got a sample of Baltic Brown that is darker than I ever expected to choose, but the gold tones (giallo napoleone, etc.) don't cut it. Your suggestions?

Remodeling the bathroom. Mostly beige tiles, some small light green tiles in a mosaic tile shower floor. white wainscoting 1/2 way up. White sink, toilets etc. Planning on Baltic Brown vanity top, walk in shower wall and sill. Wondering about the walls above the wainscoating. Fairly pronounced green edges throughout the granite. Would a shade of green work on the walls ... if so what shade? If not green, what color?

All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 07:50AM, Jan 8 2010.

We got your advice too late and bought laminate wood-look flooring which clashes horribly with the adjacent parquet floors (red vs. yellow-gold). I might have to exchange the laminate for another Quickstep product, which would be their stone-look laminate line called Quadra. The problem is I can't choose between "Winter White", beige, mocha, pinkish-gold, etc.
What makes things harder is that I can't figure out the undertones of the tan brown granite (pink vs. orange?).
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:59AM, Jul 7 2009.
Leah: That's good to hear.
Leah - GUESTat 05:33PM, Jun 28 2009.
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a good picture of "Brown Fish" online and was too tired to make another trip to the store. We ended up going with our gut -- we liked the Tan Brown the best. We will do our best to brighten things up with stategic lighting.
We placed our order with your company the other day and I can't recommend it enough.
I was wondering if you could advise me about a floor. Do you recommend dark or light? I know some people think floors should tie together with horizontal surfaces, but I don't know about more dark.
The choices are laminate wood-looks or stone-looks. What I need to know is this: we have parquet floors throughout our apt and I was wondering if a wood floor in the kitchen would have to match those exactly. That's very limiting.
Hope to hear from you soon as we need to have the floor put down ASAP.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 01:55PM, Jul 1 2009.
Leah: I would go for tiles. Less mess and no need to match the rest of the house. Keep it mostly light with slight variation. Should brighten up the room, add some more contrast, and would be a lot more practical.
Leah - GUESTat 09:30PM, Jun 22 2009.
We are fixing up our condo kitchen for resale. We put in birch cabinets and SS appliances. Walls are white. Floor to be determined.
I don't want to go too dark because this is a small galley kitchen. Of the samples I got, BB looked the best next to the cabinet. However, the bubbly pattern is a bit less conservative than I would like. Is there a stone that is similar to BB that might be a good substitute?
And does this color scheme work at all?
Thanks
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:42AM, Jun 25 2009.

I have chamois walls, silver pearl floor, and ss appliances. The cabinets are a maple with chocolate glaze. Through two sets of French Doors is an ajoining 30 x 20 terrace. I am thinking of doing the terrace floor in honed Baltic Brown the 16" high x 18" deep x 19 ft. long pond retaining wall (sitting height) in polished Baltic Brown. Could I tie together the two area by using the Baltic Brown for my counter tops, or is this too much of the same stone.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:40AM, Jun 12 2009.
Nancy: Hmm. That's a tough thing to visualize. I'd say the general concept is very good. I like that you want to use a honed stone in there (both for safety and loss of color). In the end, I think it will depend on the layout and the size of ares to be covered in stone. Color-wise, you're spot on.
Courtney - GUESTat 12:08PM, May 31 2009.
I have honey oak cabinets, neutral brown and tan walls/floors, and almond appliances...would baltic brown counters work?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:08AM, Jun 1 2009.
Courtney: It would blend a bit, but if you're looking for a toned down color scheme, then yes, it works.
shirley - GUESTat 12:29AM, May 22 2009.
I have baltic brown granite and painted my cupboards a deep green to match the green in the granite. The walls are a few shades of lighter green .Now I am bored with it. Would a light tan on cupboards and walls look better?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 11:47AM, May 22 2009.
shirley: Well, it would certainly be much different from what you have now. Matching the tan in the stone however, could blend the cabinets in. How about trying to go brown with it?

All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:46AM, Apr 30 2009.

I have a kitchen that is all white. While floor tiles. We are having Baltic brown counters put in. What type of backsplash and what colors will go well. Can't afford to replace cabinets, would like to reface later on in the future not sure what color yet. Should I also change the color of the walls?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:06AM, Apr 20 2009.
Kat: A light tan tile would be ideal for the backsplash. If you can paint the walls a nice accenting color (taupe for example), that would add some more color and life to the room.
Kathy - GUESTat 11:34AM, May 6 2009.

All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:33AM, Apr 15 2009.

Peggy - GUESTat 10:32PM, Apr 5 2009.
Trying to pick cabinets and countertops. Cabinets will be Oak with a stain (possibly a fawn color) Would this go with baltic brown? Trim on windows and french door off of eating area will be white.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 11:04AM, Apr 6 2009.
Peggy: This is a good combination. Just for heads up, some batches of baltic brown have green in it. I do not know if that would matter to you but just remember that for the future.
smurfette - GUESTat 07:39PM, Mar 26 2009.
I love the look of the baltic brown but wondering if it would work with my kitchen colors or if I would have to paint cabinets and/or get new appliances. Right now we have white cabinets with white backsplash, white ceramic countertops, white appliances and a very nice soft butter yellow on the walls.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 11:34AM, Apr 3 2009.
smurfette: This stone would "stick out" too much against your cabinets and backsplash. You could soften it by painting the cabinets to a color similar to the one on the wall maybe a little darker. On the backsplash you could add accents that would complement the overall colors (yellow, brown, black).
Pat - GUESTat 04:12PM, Mar 15 2009.
We have golden oak cabinets, ss appliances, ss sink with an island bar...are thinking about baltic brown for counters and island...backsplash travertine..would this work or do you have a better suggetion for granite? would we choose differnt color for island bar?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 05:18PM, Mar 16 2009.
Pat: It's a rather standard choice, but works well. If you wanted to do the island with a different granite, I'm afraid Black would be the safe option.

All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 02:50PM, Feb 27 2009.
Siva: I'm afraid Baltic brown would be both busy and mismatched. There is some green in the stone that would clash pretty badly against the island. I would think a dark Giallo such as Giallo Monte Carlo would flow a bit better.

All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:33PM, Feb 19 2009.

I have cherrywood cabinets, which goes better. baltic brown, tuscan, or sienna red?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:51AM, Feb 12 2009.
marlo: If the wood is stained to be any more red than natural, Baltic Brown is going to clash with it. It has quite a bit of green and that won't be too pretty. The other two sound like better options.
Jane - GUESTat 02:50PM, Jan 27 2009.
A little to white. What about Tropical Brown?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 03:14PM, Jan 27 2009.
Jane: Tropical Brown is pretty much the same exact color as Baltic Brown, just with a finer grain. It too has some green in it. Don't get me wrong, if you like the color, go for it. It would be crucial though to see a sample against the wall before you sign anything.
Jane - GUESTat 09:27PM, Jan 25 2009.

All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 01:25PM, Jan 27 2009.
Jane: Well definitely not Baltic Brown. It has quite a lot of green in it which when put against the red walls will scream in horror. I would opt for a very toned down stone with a slight red or reddish accent. Something like Shiva Kashmir White (#403). Let me know what you think.

Hi, we have a moderate size kitchen with Baltic Brown slab counters, Viking black and stainless appliances, 12" porcelain floor tiles that mimic Travertine(same coloring)and natural American Cherry cabinets.

Any recommendations?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 11:07AM, Jan 27 2009.
Lance: There isn't really a simple answer to your question. It almost seems like you don't want to have any more beige/tan in the kitchen. Perhaps you could spice it up a bit by adding accent tiles into the backsplash? Something darker that would bring out the color from the stone?

All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:10AM, Jan 22 2009.
Jeff: I would pick the one that creates more contrast. It seems you'll have a lot of wood tones in there and I'm afraid that something like Baltic Brown would get lost in there. My suggestion would be to go with a completely different color. Maybe something like Tan Brown.

I have light to medium maple cabinets, a light travertine floor, and white appliances in a fairly small kitchen.

To Kate-I currently have white apps & baltic brown counter-hate it. Replacing w/SS and already looks much better. To jfp, you dont see the green unless you have a backsplash that brings it out. I am really struggling w/backsplash that does not clash with baltic brown so should be taken into consideration. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Jenni: Good points there! Thanks for the help. For your b/s try a pale travertine tile.

Do these work together? Natural maple cabinets, white appliances, medium-stained oak floor, baltic brown countertop? Thanks!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 05:18PM, Sep 25 2008.
Kate: Works!
jfp - GUESTat 03:23PM, Sep 2 2008.
is there really a lot of green in the baltic brown? I don't see any in the sample I have...seems more black?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 02:29PM, Sep 25 2008.
jfp: It will vary from batch to batch. Generally there's some green around the "rings".

I am thinking to go with baltic brown counter, Merlot-cherry cabinet, Tumbled marble(light color TS62 4X4) back splash and floor tile close match to backsplash...I have lots of light in my kitchen. Please any suggestion.

I'm planning on putting in Cigar maple cabinets (they're pretty dark) but can't decide on the granite - Baltic Brown, Tropical Brown, or New Venetian Gold? Or would Tan Brown work?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:52PM, Sep 19 2008.
Natalie: All of them will work. It's a matter of contrast though. The more difference between the stone and the cabinets, the more BOTH will show.

Hi, I need some advice. Redoing our kit. and I'm torn on which cherry cabinet stain would go better with baltic brown. Autumn blush (reddish) or a slightly lighter stain called sunset (brownish). What is your suggestion?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:35PM, Sep 19 2008.
Jessica: The latter one seems better. There is some hints of green in Baltic Brown and that might clash a bit with the red.

With honey maple cabinets, and baltic brown counter do you recommend Stainless appl. or black?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 05:26PM, Jul 17 2008.
Julie: You could go either way. Stainless steel will blend in more.
Rodney - GUESTat 01:09AM, Jun 3 2008.
I have Baltic Brown Granite. I want to paint my cabinets to give my kitchen a face lift. Want to use a what I would call an espresso or dark chocolate brown. Will this work? If not can you list a few colors that you believe look best with this granite? Thanks..
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 11:54AM, Jun 30 2008.
Rodney: The more contrast you have the better. Both seem fine. I would stick to the warmer tone though. So dark chocolate brown it is for me.

Putting in Cherry Cabinets W/Baltic Brown Granite counter tops, thinking of some sort of green for back splash and tile floor, how would a dark granite sink go with our selection?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:26AM, Jun 25 2008.
Jim: It should fit in well.
Vani - GUESTat 11:03AM, May 22 2008.
I have honey maple cabinets. I would like to do baltic brown for counters as well as full height backsplash. Will it darken my kitchen. Please advice.Thanks
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:51PM, Jun 24 2008.
Vani: It won't so much darken the kitchen, but make it more "busy".

I have light maple cabinets, antique bronze knobs, black appliances, i keep going back to the baltic brown, i think it is so beautiful with antique bronze hardware and sink??? my wall is a mix of ever so slight green, its called macadamia. very neutral.......any ideas? I always thought light cabinets contrast well with dark???
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 01:11PM, Apr 16 2008.
Jennifer: You don't have to second-guess your choice. It is perfect. Everything you said is right! Great job on finding the stone!

We are looking at painting our cabients, possibly white. Our floor is a charcoal color tile that we are not changing. We are thinking of Baltic Brown for countertops. Thoughts???
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 12:44PM, Apr 16 2008.
Candace: If you do paint the cabinets white, this stone will really stand out. In a good way. Go for a warm white though.

We are looking for a granite to match cherry spice (darkish) cabinets and Bralilian cherry wood flooring in a light-filled room on most days: will Baltic Brown work or would a lighter granite be better?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 06:01PM, Apr 4 2008.
Springfield: Since you have a lot of light, I would stick to Baltic brown. It really looks nice when lit.
linda - GUESTat 09:11PM, Mar 22 2008.
will baltic brown countertops go well with painted maple butterscotch cabinets? if not, which color granite would you recommend? Thank!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 05:45PM, Apr 4 2008.
linda: They will go together. There is enough of dark brown in the stone to create contrast.

All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 02:46PM, Apr 3 2008.

We currently have Baltic Brown on our kitchen counters and island. We are wanting to do a "refresh" and change our appliances to stainless and redo the island granite. Suggestions that will work with the Baltic Brown, stainless appliances and oak cabintes? Thanks!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 01:18PM, Apr 3 2008.
Bob: Black? THere isn't much else that would mix.

We have a cabin in the N. Ga Mountains. Have painted and stained the cabinets with a dk green milk paint. But we have a bright white formica countertop. Considering tiling with granite tile. Not sure what would look good (and rustic. would baltic brown look good or do you have another suggestion
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:50AM, Feb 26 2008.
Cindy:Baltic brown will probably be a sensible choice. It has just a touch of green in it, so if later down the road you want to redo the cabinets, you can.
Dorothy - GUESTat 10:30PM, Feb 19 2008.
I have red oak cabinets and an island with Silestone Capri Limestone countertop. I am looking at purchasing the Baltic Brown granite. What do you think of this combination? Thanks.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 11:19AM, Feb 21 2008.
Dorothy: You should be alright. Limestone is neutral enough not to clash with granite.
