  • Marble.com - Derek 08:26PM, Jan 20 2012 If you keep coming back to this granite color, and it's attractive to you, then let me tell you that you should definitely use the Colonial Gold. It's a solid, timeless, and classic choice, with a light base for good contrast to offset your cabinetry but also has golden veining for warmth and richness. Go for it!
  • Maryfala 03:31AM, Jan 20 2012 I am having a hard time picking a granite, i have taken home this sample 2x so I thinking this must be the color. I have light gold color walls hardwood floors stained in a medium color cherry my cabinets are kraftmaid maple with chestnut finish. Do you think this is the best choice?  its an open floor plan so I "think" I wanted a light color to keep it nice and bright but im so confused????????? Help.
  • Marble.com - Kinga 07:38PM, Dec 17 2011 I think the Honey Onyx is a fine choice for your setup!
  • Marble.com - Derek 03:09PM, Dec 1 2011 If you use a less busy honey onyx subway tile such as the picture I've attached (or something similar), then I think it would be a perfect compliment for your Colonial Gold granite.
  • MaryAnne 07:24PM, Nov 28 2011 I have medium oak cabinets and just installed colonial gold granite.  I'm really loving a 3 x 6 honey onyx subway tile for the backsplash.  My floor is 6 x 6 tile (gold/brown/greenish colors).  Do you think the honey onyx subway tile will be too busy with the granite and floor?  I do not want to do smaller tile!
  • Marble.com - Derek 02:37PM, Jun 24 2011 For a choice with blue tones, try Benjamin Moore "White Satin".
  • Debbie Rogers 02:41AM, Jun 24 2011 I was thinking of something in the blue range for the colonial gold, but like the greens for the master bath with rain forest green.
  • Marble.com - Kinga 09:11PM, Jun 23 2011 I agree with Derek’s “Barely Beige” suggestion for the hall bath. For the master, check out BM’s “Hint of Mint” and “Tint of Mint”. If you want to achieve a formal feel, a deep brown like BM’s  “Cougar Brown”  and “Toasted Marshmallow” would look lovely.
    Let me know what you think so far!
  • Marble.com - Derek 12:39PM, Jun 23 2011 For the Colonial Gold hall bath, I recommend Benjamin Moore "Barely Beige". The Master Bath can have a color with green undertones such as Benjamin Moore "Light Pistachio". Let me know what you think.
  • Debbie Rogers 08:05PM, Jun 22 2011 Using Colonial Gold in a hall bath with medium oak cabinets. Using Rain Forest Green in Master Bath with medium oak cabinets. Using Venetian Bronze faucets and accessories in both. What color paint would you recommend for each bath?
  • Leah 03:34PM, Mar 31 2011 Kitchen remodel with cream cabinets w/chocolate glaze. Island will be a warm maple w/glaze. Travertine floors in a warm beige. Antique bronze hardware. Can you give suggestions for granite in each price range? I want it to feel warm, but not too dark. Also would like to have a suggestions in different price ranges.
    • All Granite and Marble 10:00AM, Apr 1 2011 Leah: For lower priced suggestions, try Santa Cecilia Real, Giallo Ornamental C, Peregrine C. For more premium choices, I recommend Arandis Chocolate, Amba Gold, Kashmir Gold.
  • Melissa 10:24PM, Feb 20 2011 Can you please let me know what price grouping Colonial Gold is in? Single, Blue, Double Blue, etc. Thank you! Melissa I have white cabinets and oak hardwood floors.
    • All Granite and Marble 10:15AM, Feb 22 2011 Melissa: We have Colonial Gold in Double Silver price category.
  • Elyssa 08:00PM, Sep 12 2010 I am redoing my kitchen which has white cabinets and brick colored mexican tile, and granite suggestions for the counters?
    • All Granite and Marble 08:35AM, Sep 13 2010 Elyssa: Some good suggestions are: New Venetian Gold, Giallo Ornamental, Colonial Gold, Astoria.
  • Kish 10:35PM, Sep 9 2010 We have cherry cabinets and we are thinking of colonial gold and almost decided. now we have seen typhoon brodeux and huge dilemma which one to go. we have 5 x 3 island area and we wanted that look good. We live in North Carolina and the fabricator is quoting 1200 extra for the typhoon. what do you think which goes best on cherry cabinets.
    • All Granite and Marble 08:43AM, Sep 10 2010 Kish: I'm leaning towards the Colonial Gold for a striking contrast to offset the cherry wood.
  • Cherise 01:36AM, Aug 7 2010 Remodeling and need help with a granite color for countertops and island! Cognac cabinets with a medium dark walnut floor. Was looking at Kashmir Gold or Colonial Gold. What do you think - Any other suggestions?
    • All Granite and Marble 10:00AM, Aug 9 2010 Cherise: I'm leaning toward the Kashmir Gold. Another option might be Astoria.
  • Jennifer J 07:59PM, Aug 5 2010 I'm searching for a granite to go with my ivory colored cabints with a light brown glaze, biscuit colored appliances and hardwood floors stained in provencial. Going for a clean timeless classic look. Leaning towards a lighter colored granite as the kitchen is not very big and want to keep the space as open looking as posible. Do you have any suggestions?
    • All Granite and Marble 09:04AM, Aug 6 2010 Jennifer J: Try Colonial Cream, Astoria, or Kashmir Gold.
  • Maria Abernathy 03:41PM, Jul 27 2010 If granite gets wet outside & appears darker than the top portion, will the darkness dissappear when dry? I looked at some that was darker at bottom and it was leaning toward another piece. I felt and it seemed day, but I did not like the darker shade.
    • All Granite and Marble 09:39AM, Jul 28 2010 Maria Abernathy: This happens to granite that is unsealed, but it will dry up and return to original color. The stone needs to be sealed every 1-2 years.
  • Teresa Marino 11:44AM, Jul 21 2010 Follow up to my previous comment/reason I did not pursue further was told this granite was no longer available, then just recently was told this still was available. Went onto you web site and guess what here it is
    • All Granite and Marble 08:50AM, Jul 22 2010 Teresa Marino: We have Colonial Gold in-stock at our Ridgefield Park, NJ and South Plainfield, NJ locations.
  • Teresa Marino 11:32AM, Jul 21 2010 What I thought would be magnificent ended up pieced scrap granite One piece replaced still horrible/expensive mistake dealing with this company
    • All Granite and Marble 08:49AM, Jul 22 2010 Teresa Marino: I'm very sorry for your unhappy experience. You can email directly derek@marble.com and we will work with you to make things right.
  • Laura P 10:31AM, Apr 23 2010 Hello, We have galley kitchen with an open floor plan to the dining area + living room. I am struggling to find granite. The room colors are dark cranberry and tan. My cabinets are Sangria - so also a cranberry with staneless appliances. I wanted a tan/gold + cranberry highlights granite. I loved Kashmire Gold until I went to see slabs as it's too gold. Looking more for tan over gold with movement. Any recommendations for me?
    • All Granite and Marble 02:04PM, Apr 23 2010 Laura P: Try Juparana Exotica.
  • Fran 09:58AM, Mar 25 2010 Is the burgundy perceptible to the eye? Is this considered a stone with a lot of movement?
    • All Granite and Marble 11:36AM, Mar 25 2010 Fran: It's overall a light stone with golden veining and burgundy flecks.
  • Susan 12:43PM, Jan 13 2010 I love the look of marble, white with gray theads and gold. Told I shouldn't put it in the kitchen/counter top. If I have it honed will that help prevent the staining I always heard about?
    • All Granite and Marble 05:14PM, Jan 13 2010 Susan: No, if anything honed marble is even more prone to staining. If you want a granite that looks like marble for kitchen application, take a look at White Fantasy.
  • Patty Mills 07:21PM, Oct 27 2009 We have to look at something more neutral since our house will be for sale in 1-2 years. What do you think of Colonial Gold with maple/honey cabinets/white appliances/oak floors. Back walls are cream tile? Right now the kitchen has allwhite corian counters and it is very nice/but dated.
    • All Granite and Marble 12:54PM, Oct 28 2009 Patty Mills: It will breathe fresh air into your kitchen design, although there will not be much contrast.
  • Ellen 11:39AM, Oct 26 2009 I have light oak cabinets that have darkened a bit. Would colonial gold or antique gold be good choices? Do you have any other suggestions for a traditional house?
    • All Granite and Marble 12:14PM, Oct 26 2009 Ellen: Either choice is excellent, plenty of contrast and it would compliment the cabinets nicely.
  • D 05:54PM, Aug 19 2009 Yes, the floor is hardwood planks in a provincial finish. I saw the colonial gold in a new kitchen with darker wood cabinetry at it looked very nice. I could see the gray sediment in it which is why I thought it may go well with the cream cabinets/pewter glaze as well. Thank you.
    • All Granite and Marble 10:04AM, Aug 20 2009 D: Your welcome and good luck! :-)
  • D 04:31PM, Aug 19 2009 Would this color Colonial Gold work well with off white/cream painted cabinets that have a pewter glaze?
    • All Granite and Marble 05:12PM, Aug 19 2009 D: It's a very rich color, it would look beautiful, do you have any browns in your floor to pick up the veining in this stone?
  • DIANE 01:46PM, Jul 21 2009 I found a gorgeous leathered colonial gold, but always thought I would go with polished. The polished is too rust for my liking. Is the upkeep the same? Is it a trend?"
    • All Granite and Marble 02:19PM, Jul 21 2009 DIANE: I would think dusk would cling more, never seen a leathered Colonial Gold.
  • kathleen 10:03AM, Jul 8 2009 What granite would go best with my kitchen? I have chestnut chocolate glaze cabinets, light color tan floors, and a peachy brown color on the wall.
    • All Granite and Marble 03:09PM, Jul 8 2009 kathleen: There is no single best answer to this. Selecting the color of your countertops is a very personal process. Sure you can rely on general stylistic advice, but in the end it's your kitchen and you'll be the one looking at it the most. Based on the stone you commented on (Colonial Gold), I think you're definitely in the right colors.
  • Anna 11:28AM, Jun 16 2009 Where can I find this granite in my area. I live in NC. I hope you can help.
    • All Granite and Marble 02:46PM, Jun 16 2009 Anna: We do not work with anyone from your area, sorry.
  • Lisa 12:15PM, Apr 6 2009 Hi, We have an open kitchen plan w. goldish/green walls, maple mocha kitchen cabinets (give off a rosey/orangey), and hardwoods that blend with cabinets. Our kit. tile backsplash is gray/white/coppery. Replacing Corian w. granite but don't want dark as kitchen gets little light and is kind of gloomy with exisiting gray toned Corian. Considering "Santa Cecilia" however, we concerned it may blend right into the cabinets. Kindly advise how to accomplish some contrast while toning down our rosey/orangey cabinets. Thanks!
    • All Granite and Marble 12:30PM, Apr 6 2009 Lisa: If you are trying to avoid dark colors, take a look at the Colonial Gold or Ivory Gold.
