Hi, I have cherry cabinets in my kitchen and white fixtures. What color granite should I use for the countertops?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, i had granite countertops installed that were called Giallo West, they look almost identical to the Fiorito that has the more beige and taupe colored stones, not so orange. What color and kind of backsplash should i have installed. I like the warm honey tones, my appliance are almond (will be stainless in the next year) and my floors and cabinets are honey colored oak.. Thank you for your help!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:35AM, Jul 9 2010.
Susan: Try botticino tumbled marble as it would compliment your design nicely.

Hi I'm deciding between Giallo veneziano granite, with kind of a pink tone to it, and this stone. I know they are pretty different. My kitchen cabinets are a red/orangey color with light colored tile.....but the hard wood floor that borders the kitchen is a red sangria. All appliances are stainless steel. What is your opinion? Sorry the descriptions are so vague.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:47AM, Apr 24 2010.
Stacy: I'm leaning towards the Giallo Veneziano, the Fiorito stone might have too much orange undertones for your set-up.

I have honey-tea color tile floor that looks like travertine, gray cabinets, white wall. What granite countertop colors would work?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:11AM, Apr 2 2010.
Kim: I recommend to use a color in a golden tone, perhaps Persa Gold, Kashmir Gold, or Golden Fantasy.

I just found out that I can't get Giallo Vincenza in my area. Would Santa Venetia be a good backup?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 03:10PM, Apr 1 2010.
LindaH: Yes.

Hi, I thought I left this message earlier today, but maybe not. I'm thinking about Giallo Vicenza instead of Fiorito. How do you think that would work with Maple Honey Spice cabinets? I have a large peninsula, black & SS appliances, nd 8ft. ceilings.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:14AM, Apr 1 2010.
LindaH: Giallo Vicenza is a better choice than Fiorito in your situation, it's more brown than orange. It will compliment the cabinets nicely and highlight the black in your appliances.
LindaH - GUESTat 06:36PM, Mar 30 2010.
I am installing Maple Honey Spice cabinets w/Mocha Glaze. I like the drama of the Fiorito, but the live chat person said it might come out too orange. Haven't set floor/wall colors yet. He mentioned Tropic Brown, but it's too uniform for me. Any thoughts?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:56AM, Mar 31 2010.
LindaH: You could go a little lighter -- try Santa Cecilia. For a dramatic stone with beautiful movement, perhaps Crema Bordeaux.

I am looking for a wall color that will go great with the Giallo Fiorito. I like the base stone color you show (barley corn), but is there another name for it in a benjamin moore paint? Thanks.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 02:30PM, Mar 29 2010.
Linda C: Try Benjamin Moore "Lenox Tan".

Re: backsplash, I forgot to add that appliances are SS and paint color is tan but can be changed.
sue - GUESTat 07:41PM, Mar 11 2010.
Can you suggest a backsplash to go with this stone (actually a lighter fiorito)and medium brown maple cabinets with a mocha glaze? I'm looking at travertine, not sure of the shade. Thank you.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:12AM, Mar 12 2010.
sue: Use a tumbled travertine tile that matches the lightest shade in your Fiorito.
Courtney - GUESTat 09:03PM, Feb 20 2010.
I am looking at either a hickory cabinet with a light stain OR a maple cabinet with a saddle color stain. Would you recommend this granite to go with either of those cabinets or a different color granite? Thanks!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 11:40AM, Feb 22 2010.
Courtney: Giallo Fiorito will look beautiful with the saddle colored maple cabinets.

could u help me select a granite stone med dark,not too course with nice silvery crystal in the A or B price i like mororo/c.treasure/blue perl but is too pricey
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:56AM, Jan 22 2010.
rozzie: Perhaps Azul Platino, or you want more brown tones?
arlene chaplin - GUESTat 01:06PM, Nov 26 2009.
Do you have this available in 18"x18" tiles?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 11:44AM, Nov 27 2009.

What the difference between giallo fiorito #150 and #151? Just the conistiency?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 12:57PM, Oct 21 2009.
deb: Yes, just a different batch, so they look slightly off.

Hi! Now that I've decided on my stone, my choice of wall color, cabinets and appliances, I have one huge dilemna....choosing a backsplash *Sighing Heavily* Help please!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 03:27PM, Jul 28 2009.
Paula: Backsplash is something that is very customizable, only you can decide what color is right for you. I would do tumbled mosaic tile in an earth tone.
Paula - GUESTat 12:04PM, Jul 27 2009.
I believe I've just purchased this stone. Because there appear to be different fiorito stones, I hope this is the one. :-) I aslo have light maple cabintes with black appliances. I've chosen to go with Ralph Lauren "Cork" paint color for my walls.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 12:11PM, Jul 27 2009.
Paula: It's just different batches of the same stone. I think it will look nice with the set-up you described :-)

looking for a web site to view cabinet and countertop pictures. have giallo fiorito t0ps and maple spice cabinets

Andrea C - GUESTat 03:23PM, Jul 7 2009.
Amazon Tiger? That's too strong. :-) I would like something with goldish, red and/or burgundy tones. There is little natural light in the kitchen.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 03:03PM, Jul 8 2009.
Andrea C: Didn't mean to scare you ;) In that case, try something like Crema Bordeaux.
Andrea C - GUESTat 12:56AM, Jul 7 2009.
I'd like something to set off my Spice Maple cabinets with black appliances. My kitchen is small and I want the countertops to pop. Any suggestions?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 11:31AM, Jul 7 2009.
Andrea C: Go with a strong pattern. Try Amazon Tiger.

My kitchen has brazilan cherry floors, and the cabinets are cherry with a cinnamon wash. What color granite would you suggest?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:37AM, Feb 6 2009.
bilc2: You're on the right track. Also see Indian Mahogany for a different look.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:46AM, Nov 19 2008.
PAINT COLOR: Seems like this is a though one! I would be leaning towards really soft pastel colors. As Cheryl suggested, the pale peach could be an option here, although my initial reaction would be to go with a more yellowish hue. Alternatively you can completely offset the countertops with dark paint in a brown tone.
Jeannie - GUESTat 07:34PM, Nov 11 2008.
I have white cabinets, black appliances and dark wood floors. I love this rich color. Will it work. My walls are a palamino beidge.
I really like this.
Jeannie
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 12:47PM, Nov 20 2008.
Jeannie: Yes, it should work well.
Cheryl - GUESTat 09:12PM, Oct 15 2008.
re color to paint, I found a creamy pale peach did well here with the baltic. or pale pink with the black, to go retro, think poodle skirt of the 50's. I currently am using 'green tea' with copper accents with the black, after ten years of the pale cream peach hues ;)
Terrance - GUESTat 12:06AM, Oct 15 2008.
I also purchased this stone for my kitchen. The cabinets are glazed maple and the appliances are black. This stone has a combination of colors that I like but I'm not good with matching color. I looking for a paint color that's gonna bring it all together. What color would you recommend?
Belle Terre - GUESTat 06:38PM, Oct 12 2008.
I'm in the process of purchasing this stone. The problem is finding a paint color that works for me. I have practiced with different shades of colors thatis in the stone, but I don't like the way it looks. I've also considered Venetian Plaster, but the available choices don't go well with the stone. What should I do?
Krista - GUESTat 12:38AM, Sep 24 2008.
I have white cabinets, black appliances and light oak floor. I want to use a red paint for the walls, what granite colors would you recommend?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 12:01PM, Sep 26 2008.
Krista: Try Crema Bordeaux. Might also want to consider black.
Kate - GUESTat 06:19PM, Sep 13 2008.
I have purchased this stone and have it in my kitchen with black appliances, any suggestions on paint colors?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 05:34PM, Sep 25 2008.
Kate: Pastel yellow?
Cindy - GUESTat 09:05PM, May 4 2008.
Any opinions on Giallo Fiorito with light honey-toned maple cabinets? We keep coming back to this or Baltic Brown for more contrast.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 11:27AM, Jun 6 2008.
Cindy: And good thing that you are. I'd lean towards Baltic brown though. It has less of the yellowish/orange in it which should set it apart from the cabinets a bit more.
Melanie - GUESTat 11:52PM, Apr 26 2008.
Hi,
Im about to purchase natural maple cabinets with a chocolate glaze. Do you think this color granite would go well with it? I'm putting in a medium/dark colored wood floor to contrast the lighter cabinets. Thanks!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:03PM, May 19 2008.
Melanie: Somewhat of a tone mismatch.. It's hard to say anything definitively without seeing the cabinets and floor.
Lana - GUESTat 01:17PM, Apr 10 2008.
How would rich med toned red oak mission style cabinets look with this color granite?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 12:42PM, Apr 16 2008.
Lana: They would look contrasty and warm. In other words - perfect.

I am having a hard time finding granite to go with my pickled (somewhat pink) oak kitchen cabinets. Would this work and/or do you have any suggestions i have white appliances with red oak hardwoood floors. thank Terri M
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:59AM, Mar 11 2008.
Terri M: Too close. You'll need something darker. Try either the Fiorito #150, or Vicenza #170.
Cathy - GUESTat 04:13PM, Feb 8 2008.
Please confirm Giallo Fiorito is a Double Blue price category.
