I have greyish white tiles, white gloss cabinets , white appl, and we are putting in Emerald Pearl granite counter tops...What color and type of backsplash should I use?

Candice: Keep it simple on the backsplash -- a light subway tile will look nice.

Forgot to mention we have birch hardwood floors the colour of a Golden Retriever and will have SS appliances.

Lori: For a more traditional, warmer color option try Tropical Brown.

Warm white pereimeter cabinetry, dark stained island with cherry butcher block top in a well lit traditional kitchen and home. Husband loves emerald pearl for countertop. I too like emerald pearl but would like a warmer softer look that would enhance cupboards and maybe be a more classic l;ook. What do you think emerald pearl or another suggestion?

We are trying to decide what style (color) of granite to get for our kitchen. Our cabinets are a lighter maple. Do you think we need to contrast this with a darker color or would one of the lighter granites work?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:50AM, Dec 14 2009.
Jeff: A darker granite is more appropriate for your cabinet color. Have you considered a green tone? Take a look at Butterfly Green. A different direction would be a stone like Tropical Brown.

i love costa esmeralda but it is way to expensive any alternate suggestions? would like a light green.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 02:47PM, Dec 12 2009.
mary ann: Cosa Esmeralda is one of a kind, an inexpensive stone but going in a different direction is Butterfly Green.

I love the dark green color in emerald pearl granite. However, I don't like the bling. Can you suggest granites whose color are similar to Emerald Pearl but has no bling in it? Thanks.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 11:44AM, Nov 27 2009.
Lynn: Take a look at our "Butterfly" selection of stones.

Thanks! I liked wildlands savane tiles for the flooring. Is this too rustic for my kitchen? I also liked a terracotta color tile from Level USA. Since I am not sure about Level USA company, I am leaning towards the wildlands savane. This comes in various sizes, should I do simple 18x18 brick pattern or should I go with a random design? Thanks again!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 12:00PM, Nov 2 2009.
Laks: A simple brick design will suffice, and the wildlands savane looks stunning, go for it!

Thanks for a prompt response! Could you please tell me what is "crematic" tile you have recommeded for the floor? Is this any cream colored ceramic?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 12:36PM, Oct 20 2009.
Laks: I meant to write Ceramic :-) Pick your favorite color of cream/beige and go from there.

I have emerald pearl countertop and off white(ivory) cabinets. What colors will go well for the backsplash and kitchen floor?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 02:49PM, Oct 19 2009.
Laks: Crematic tile looked better over hardwood floors with this granite, and it should be a lighter shade of beige. Backsplash could be tumbled marble or slate.

I have a light grey ceramic tile with darker tones mixed in on my kitchen floor. The grout is dark grey but looks black on the floor. My cabients are a medium oak color(warm) and I really like the emerald pearl stone, but I am not sure if it will work with my floor and cabinets. Please advise. I need help!!!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:36AM, Oct 19 2009.
Yvette: Seems like it your compliment the floor and contrast the cabinets which is a good thing. You should put a sample of our cabinetry against a slab of this granite to see if you like how the two colors go together.

Hi,
Thank you so much for responding. I really love the idea of a creamy tile. Will this look okay with a bright white tub? I also have a clear shower door.
Thank you!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 02:47PM, Sep 14 2009.
Nerissa: It will look good.

Hi,
I have Emerald Pearl floor tiles and vanity top with a white vanity base. Can you please suggest an interesting/appropriate color tile (ceramic or glass) for my shower walls?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:26AM, Sep 14 2009.
Nerissa: You should go light, anything creamy will work.

Off white cabinets, emerald pearl counter tops. Trying to find out what color of back splash to do?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:57AM, Jun 2 2009.
Patricia: Tumbled marble perhaps? Or slate?

I started with travertine floor tiles and lattice diagonally crossed absolute black granite with uba tuba 4x4 squares at the intersection of the black. Cabinets off white with brown glaze. Now, want to change from uba tuba,which as supposed to be the countertop color, to emerald pearl. Would that work, or some combination of brown, black and cream?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 11:04AM, May 18 2009.
Keta: They're not that far from each other. I think it would work just as well.

I'm trying to figure out granite countertop, backsplash, fireplace coloring. I have white cabinets, oak flooring tan walls, reds and blacks for decorating. The family room and kitchen are open together so I am hoping to tie in colors to match backsplash and fireplace. I have more of a modern style going on. Black leather couches and the same white cabinets in the family room.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 01:09PM, Apr 3 2009.
Julie: My first thought was Crema Bordeaux, but it's not on the modern side. You can try something with less veins, like Tan Brown.
Sue - GUESTat 10:58AM, Mar 18 2009.
We have natural oak cabinets and floor. I love Emerald Pearl but have been told that we need a "warm" granite because of the golden tones in the oak yet dark for contrast. Do you think Emerald Pearl would work? Any ideas on backsplash color?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:22AM, Mar 19 2009.
Sue: It works on the basis of contrast. Although it may be nice to have a hint of the cabinet color in the stone, it's not necessary. You can add warmth to the kitchen by using a light colored backsplash. A nice golden travertine would do that.

i have brazilian cherry cabinets.would emeral pearl countertop go well with it and what kind of color tiles for floors?thanks
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:49AM, Feb 24 2009.
hanh: I'm guessing your Brazilian cherry cabinets are quite red. Emerald Pearl, even though it might not look like it here, is a dark green stone. Green and Red usually don't mix well in a kitchen setting. I suggest looking for something else. You might like blue pearl.

I have Bianco Sardo (coarse Luna Pearl) floors, cabinets will be off-white w/ glaze; how will Emerald Pearl countertops look with ss appliances - will dark opalescent mosaic tile give it enough pop? And, with dark granite countertops, ss or black gas cooktop to make it disappear?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 03:05PM, Nov 21 2008.
Kate: Definitely a black cooktop with this stone. I think the opalescent tile can enhance the look if used carefully (don't overdo it). Overall you will get a lot of contrast from the white cabinetry.

I absolutely love the bling in Emerald pearl. We have oak cabinets that will remain. Will the two work together? If not, what other granite with bling will work?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:12AM, Nov 19 2008.
Tom: Yes it should work very well. Blue Pearl will have the same "bling".

I am planning to have this stone in my kitchen with maple cashew cabinet. Do you think this will go well? What color tiles for floor and backsplash ? Thanks.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:25AM, Sep 19 2008.
Katie: Should be fine. For the tiles I would suggest a darker shade of beige.
Kathy - GUESTat 11:13AM, Jun 3 2008.
I'm looking for a dark green, but I don't like the speckled look. Can you suggest a stone?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 11:59AM, Jun 30 2008.
Kathy: Try Olive Green.
Sherry - GUESTat 10:14PM, Sep 29 2007.
Can you suggest, how would the emerald pearl countertops look with cherry brown cabinets and light color tile(stone/ceramic) backsplash?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:40AM, Oct 1 2007.
Sherry: I guess it would depend on how red the cherry is. If it's just brown, then I don't see a problem.
