I am moving into a new home - I have chosen travertine for the bathroom floor and the shower with glass tile accent in cream, beige, and grayish brown. The cabinets are white as well as sink and toilet. There is no natural light in the bathroom. I'm thinking of making the double sink vanity top Giallo Vincenza. Do you think it will be to dark or will it make a nice contrast?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:04AM, Jun 4 2010.
Barb: I think it will offset the white cabinets nicely, go for it!

I have Mahogany cabinets and Maple flooring. Is Giallo Veneziano a suitable choice for granite counter tops? Can you suggest a tile color for the back splash with GV?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:41AM, May 12 2010.
Bob: It's a suitable choice. It will compliment the mahogany nicely and create a warm feel. Try a tumbled travertine tile for backsplash.
Kerri - GUESTat 05:46PM, May 7 2010.
Hello and thank you for answering my question regarding matching up my Giallo Veneziano counter top with a light travertine. Could I ask if you could select it and let me know. The floor guys will be here on Thursday for hardwood installation and they will be measuring then so I will know how much to order from you.
Thank you,
Kerri

Could you assist me in picking out a contrasting natural flooring to go with Giallo Vicenza? The cabinets are a medium cinnamon cherry in color.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:48AM, May 7 2010.
Kerri: Try a light travertine tile.
susi - GUESTat 03:20PM, Apr 27 2010.
would this look good in a honey oak colored kithchen, floors and cabinets? Is this anything like the Vicenza? I am having a tough time making a choice!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:17PM, Apr 27 2010.
susi: I'd steer away from more golden tones in your design. Try Tropical Brown.
Katie - GUESTat 10:59AM, Apr 25 2010.
I have maple cabinets, dark would floors, stainless steel applainces would the Giallo Veneziano countertop look good. Also looking toward getting a a light browns glass mosaic backsplash. Would this match.I want people to walk into my kitchen and say wow. I need help.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:45AM, Apr 26 2010.
Katie: It would look beautiful. Giallo Veneziano definitely has the "wow" factor.

after having the company I bought my granite from tell me they can't get some scratches out of my granite I used scratch-x(a car wax)on some scratches on my new granite,it seems to hide them,will car wax damage granite in anyway
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:13AM, Apr 15 2010.
Andy: I would absolutely NOT recommend to use car wax on granite. It will strip off the sealer that protects the stone.
Jillian - GUESTat 09:01PM, Apr 14 2010.
Love the Giallo V. I have antique gold accents in my dark oak kitchen and a light peach floor. Slab looks like it may have a bit of peach in it...true?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:12AM, Apr 15 2010.
Jillian: It does have some peach undertones. Get a sample of the stone, put it in your kitchen lighting next to your cabinets, and see how it ties in.
Saadiya - GUESTat 01:19PM, Apr 14 2010.
I keep hearing that the Santa Cecilia is too yellow in a slab form. Is that true? Will it contrast well with the Auburn Cabinets. I don't want something that sticks out too much but I do really like the way Santa Cecilia looks in a small 5"x5" square. Comments?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:08AM, Apr 15 2010.
Saadiya: Each delivery of Santa Cecilia changes slighty in color tone. Take a sample and put it in your kitchen light next to the cabinets and see how it looks. If you like it, go for it! Should compliment the auburn nicely.
Saadiya - GUESTat 07:31AM, Apr 14 2010.
I'm planning on putting in Auburn colored cabinets (cherry) and an having issues as to which granite to use for countertops. Current options are Giallo Veneziano, Santa Cecilia or Key Wst Gold. I don't want the kitchen to look too dark. Any suggestions?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:48AM, Apr 14 2010.
Saadiya: I'm leaning towards the Santa Cecilia, it's warm and inviting. Another option is New Venetian Gold.
Linda - GUESTat 05:33PM, Mar 29 2010.
I am getting my kitchen countertops redone. Would like opinion on which granite color. I have narrowed my choices to santa cecelia or giollo vereziono. My cabinets are medium to dark oak and floors are tan. Also what color hardware do you recommend. I have none now, and would like to add it. My appliances are black, but I am switching to stainless steel--one piece at a time beggining with the cooktop. Thanks in advance.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:47AM, Mar 30 2010.
Linda: I'm leaning towards the lighter Santa Cecilia for more contrast, and i'm concerned the Veneziano might look a tad on the orange side with your set-up.
Sarai - GUESTat 04:41AM, Mar 28 2010.
we are redoing kitchen!!! Got hardwood floor (golden teak/ is dark in color), and maple mocha-glazed cabinets. We just ordered Giallo Veneziano granite. What do you think.... Will it go well..
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 12:59PM, Mar 29 2010.
Sarai: Absolutely! Excellent combination.
Jen - GUESTat 04:18PM, Feb 22 2010.
I have whiskey cherry cabinets, cafe colored tile floor, and stainless appliances. Would Giallo Fiorti, Vicenza, or Veneziano look best?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 05:35PM, Feb 22 2010.
Jen: A granite with a golden tone will look rich and warm against your cherry cabinets, go with the Veneziano!
Sue - GUESTat 02:07PM, Feb 13 2010.
Would Giallo Veneziano work with golden oak cabinets
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:52AM, Feb 16 2010.
Sue: Might be a little too close in color tone, try Tropical Brown.

Trying to decide between NVG, SC, and GV with maple cabs (ginger spice, mocha glaze) and light honey oak flooring, stainless appliances. Want something timeless and traditional. All 3 of these samples look similar to me in person, what are the main differences?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 03:38PM, Feb 5 2010.
gina: NVG and SC are very similar, NVG is a little warmer while SC has more black. GV is more brown. I'd go with New Venetian Gold.

we have 3 paints we like for our walls to go with dark cherry cabinets and giallo veneziano countertop,monroe bisque,yosimite sand or shaker beige,what do you think?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:05AM, Jan 28 2010.
Andy: I'm leaning towards the Yosimite Sand, it's very warm and inviting.

today I went to pick out my granite countertop,it said Giallo Italy on the back,the owner said it was Giallo Venziano Italy,it very much looked liked the granite in this picture.not sure why he called it one name and another was printed on the back.

Amy - GUESTat 02:39PM, Nov 17 2009.
I have oak cabinets, oak hardwood floors, white appliances to be replaced with stainless as they wear out except for dishwasher which will be replaced with granite install. Home is only eight years old so fairly current in kitchen design. Walls are currently lighter than sage green but color most likely will be changed after granite install. We are going back and forth between Giallo Veneziano and similar lighter granites - Giallo Napolean, Santa Cecilia and darker granites - Verde Butterfly, Verde Peacock, Emerald Pearl, or black/grays. Kitchen is large with attached 4 window bay for dining so it gets a lot of light. Opinions?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:57AM, Nov 18 2009.
Amy: It's really a matter of going dark or light. Veneziano looks good with Oak, as does the Butterfly. Considering you have lots of light, I would lean towards going with a darker granite, plus it will contrast the cabinets beautifully.
Micki - GUESTat 11:18PM, Oct 21 2009.
One more question...do you have any other suggestion of a granite that would look good with the honey-spice maple cabinets? Possibly one that would give more contrast. I'm not totally attached to Giallo Veneziano but I do like it.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:55AM, Oct 22 2009.
Micki: Check out New Venetian Gold.
Micki - GUESTat 08:32PM, Oct 20 2009.
I have honey-spice maple cabinets with a beigey-marble like ceramic tile floor. The floor tile has a hint of a mild rust color in it. I'm looking at either Santa Cecilia or Giallo Veneziano for the bathroom countertop with a white sink. What do you think?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 01:09PM, Oct 21 2009.
Micki: I would go with Giallo Veneziano.
Erica - GUESTat 08:15PM, Jul 25 2009.
How do you think this countertop would look with cherry cabinets (chestnut stain) and oak hardwood floors? Too light? Too dark? Just right?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:02AM, Jul 27 2009.
Erica: It would look really nice! Any gold color works with cherry cabinets.

Corina - GUESTat 05:24PM, Jul 22 2008.
I am looking at Giallo Veneziano. I have marbled looking porcelain tiles on the floor showing a mixture of dark brown, yellow ochre (almost golden tan) and cream colors. First, do you think this granite will go with the floor tile and second do you have any recommendations for color of the wall to pull them together? Thank you for you help.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 02:57PM, Jul 25 2008.
Corina: I'm not sure what to recommend to you for the floor tile. I guess you could replicate the backsplash but in bigger tiles (18"). For the wall color, pick one that is common for both the stone and cabinets, then find a lighter tone of that same color.
Julie - GUESTat 11:59PM, Jul 16 2008.
Do you think giallo veneziano would work with honey maple cabinets and s.s. appliances? Not sure of paint color yet and going with a lighter wood laminate flooring. Thanks
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 06:50PM, Jul 17 2008.
Julie: It depends how light/dark the cabinets are. It might work if the maple is light.
Kelly - GUESTat 02:15AM, May 21 2008.

I have yellowish natural cabinets, I am looking at this. What colors would you recommend as wall tile?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 05:49PM, Apr 4 2008.
Amy: Off white, tan maybe. Something that doesn't blend too much with the stone.
Danielle - GUESTat 11:05PM, Mar 16 2008.
would gaiallo veneziano look good with cherry cabinets and beige walls?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 11:13AM, Apr 4 2008.

Alison - GUESTat 05:41PM, Mar 11 2008.
If you could pick between ivory cabinets or any other painted finish with this granite, what would U choose?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 01:17PM, Apr 3 2008.

Jeannie - GUESTat 10:44PM, Feb 12 2008.

Hi, We have installed Giallo Veneziano slabs for our countertops & will use the same as 12" tiles for the backsplash. This granite is a peach-red-organge-black color that matches peach walls. What color grout should we use? (cabinets are off white w/ black stove & microwave).
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 12:27PM, Jan 3 2008.
Cor: First of all, MAKE SURE that you receive a sample of the tile from the actual batch you will be buying! It is crucial to check if the color matches with the countertops. Now for the grout, a professional tile installer will be able to color match the grout to the tiles. If not, I would probably go with an off white.
Mbienvenu - GUESTat 01:47PM, Dec 17 2007.
Having trouble choosing my granite in my kitchen. I have choosen sorreal sky maple cabinets. The sample of granite at show room for Giallo Veneziano has some salmon color in it. Therefore, I have looked into a 18 x 18 tile that has the salmon, browns, and creams for the floor. Then use the same tile but smaller on the backsplash. To much orange?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:33AM, Dec 22 2007.
Mbienvenu: You probably should not use the same colors for the floor, countertop and backsplash.
