Marble.com - Derek 02:57PM, Jun 14 2011 I'm leaning towards the New Venetian Gold as a warmer choice. Another option could be Santa Cecilia, or Giallo Ornamental.
Deancgeorge 10:00PM, Jun 13 2011 we are considering a remodel with light beige tile flooring and maple cabinets with beige appliances... wondering about the carioca gold granite, or the new venitian gold... Any thoughts on that combination... thanks
Dick 09:54AM, Apr 12 2011 We have natural hardwood oak floors, golden oak kitchen cabinets, appliances are light beige, how would the carioca gold granite look?
- All Granite and Marble 10:14AM, Apr 12 2011 Dick: Perhaps this set-up would be a little too "gold". I'd use a darker color, for example the Tropical Brown or Baltic Brown.
Lizzy 02:54PM, Apr 3 2011 would carioco gold look good with black appliances, tile-look flooring, glazed maple cabinets?
- All Granite and Marble 10:45AM, Apr 4 2011 Lizzy: May be a little too gold. I'd use something darker, try Giallo Vicenza or Tropical Brown.
Mary 06:15PM, May 1 2010 Do you think that Carioca Gold would work. It is a bit darker than Giallo Ornamental, but the bit of pink in it worries me a bit.
- All Granite and Marble 01:43PM, May 3 2010 Mary: Get a sample of the Carioca Gold and put it against the cabinetry in your kitchen light.
Linda 03:42PM, Feb 23 2010 How would this look with white cabinets that have very slight undertone of yellow and black and amber?
- All Granite and Marble 05:00PM, Feb 23 2010 Linda: It would look gorgeous, sleek with plenty of contrast. You have a flexible design with white cabinets.
Jim 09:33PM, Aug 13 2009 I'd like your opinion on this combination: Maple Hardwood floor in Sumatra, Maple cabinets in Cognac and Carioca Gold counter. Oh, and stainless applicances. The kitchen itself has no windows, but it opens to a morning room which is well lighted with natural light. The floorplan of the home is open - the kitchen also opens to a family room with windows. We're also considering Santa Cecelia. Thanks!
- All Granite and Marble 09:28AM, Aug 14 2009 Jim: I'm thinking Santa Cecilia would be better because it's a little lighter - more contrast highlights the cabinets.
Francesca 02:38PM, Mar 24 2009 I have golden juperano on my countertops with pickled maple cabinets. My island will be a walnut wood and I was thinking of this for the top. What do you think?
- All Granite and Marble 11:06AM, Mar 25 2009 Francesca: It's hard for me to say without seeing the kitchen. Not sure how everything will work together.
PAM 11:17AM, Dec 17 2008 DO YOU THINK THESE WOULD BE TO DARK? I WANT SOMETHING TO BRIGHTEN THE KITCHEN. WOULD GOLDEN DESERT,GOLDEN DREAM OR JUPARANA RENOIR WORK. SHOULD I STICK WITH PEBBLES OR VEINING?
- All Granite and Marble 08:43AM, Dec 23 2008 PAM: They seem alright. Maybe getting too close to the cabinets again. But that's for you to decide.
PAM 12:40PM, Dec 12 2008 WOULD THIS GO WITH PROVINCIAL STAINED OAK CABINETS.MY FLOORS ARE RUST, GOLD AND GRAY SWIRLED STAINED CONCRETE. WALLS ARE TAUPE,U SHAPED KITCHEN - NOT TO BIG AND FAIR AMOUNT OF NATURAL LIGHT. IF NOT COULD YOU SUGGEST SOMETHING ELSE. THANKS
- All Granite and Marble 05:44PM, Dec 16 2008 PAM: I'm not too fond of tight grains like in this stone. Especially when they get close to the surrounding colors. They tend to blend in a lot. How about something like Giallo Vicenza?
