Hi, Colonial Gold is a little bit different then Colonial White. Colonial Gold, Dream and White are really similar to each other but every of them have various calours of veins. The best way to choose the exact one is to see the whole slab, take the sample home and compare it in your kitchen. I recommend you check the stone with Internet ID 477 and 583.

Good luck !
Is Colonial Gold the same as Colonial White. I am looking for a white granite for an island to go with black slate counters on natural cherry cabinets with a red oak floor.
Thanks
Excellent combination!
HOw does colonial gold match w/ honey oak cabinets?
Are there any wall colors you've been looking at so far that have caught your attention? My recommendations are along the lines of Benjamin Moore Lighthouse Landing or Heartsmere. Let me know your thoughts.
I have darker cabinets and went with the colonial gold. My back splash is a lime stone with grout and matches the counter well. Maybe too well. I have all white appliances and wood wood work. The kitchen is rather small and I don't want to go with dark colors. I have been trying to come up with a wall color or other colors to use with this to make the kitchen pop..Any suggestions
I'd use a darker granite shade for an efficient contrast to the hickory perimeter cabinetry and because darker stones are generally more durable and less porous. Timeless and classic choices that I recommend are Ubatuba, Tropical Brown, Toffee, and Imperial Coffee. You should reseal the stone once a year to keep it stain resistant. Hope this helps!
We are in the middle of a kitchen remodel, we are keeping half of our light hickory cabinets. We are adding a black antique rubbed island and the floor is natural asain walnut. I am having a hard time picking a granite shade, as I am worried that it will be too busy. They layout of the kitchen is very open into a family room, dining room and office area. Any suggestions? I also have 3 small children, so I was also concerned of staining on the granite from juice. Thanks!
I feel that the Colonial Gold would be a warm and appropriate choice to go against your Chestnut colored cabinetry. Some other similar options you can consider are New Colonial Dream and Colonial Cream. For a floor tile suggestion, take a look at Daltile Fidenza Bianco porcelain tile. I've attached a picture for you. Good luck!
I have ordered Kraftmaid kitchen cabinets in a Chestnut stain w/onyz glaze, am leaning toward Colonial Gold as a countertop, have not picked out floor but interested in a neutral beige ceramic floor, as pictured in #9 above. Do you think this color would be fitting for an open floor plan kitchen. Thank you for your advice, as I am overwhelmed with the many choices. I have also seen speckled granite, but feel it may be too busy for my taste.
We have Atlantis and Colonial Gold (or New Colonial Gold) in-stock at all of our locations.
I am looking at both Atlantis id1330 and Colonial Gold id1286 could you tell me which location I can find these items.
Let me know what you think so far!
