Imperial Coffee. Granite color selection for countertops

COMMENTS:

Marble.com - Kinga 12:55PM, Dec 19 2011 I agree. The Coffee Imperial would provide you with a sleek and elegant contrast. Once you see the slab in person, it will be much easier to decide. Remember to bring samples home!
Marble.com - Derek 08:57PM, Dec 7 2011 Depending on the delivery, the Coffee Imperial may have some pinkish undertones and hues, but it's really mostly a reflective brown color. You should look at the slabs in-person. I think it would provide an excellent contrast for your cabinet color though, you should go for it!
Alissa 09:44PM, Dec 3 2011 I have kitchen cabinets from 1993 that are the pale pinkish color that was popular then. Imperial Coffee looks like it has some pink in it. Will that work?
Marble.com - Derek 08:20PM, Nov 29 2011 You can also use a dark, elegant stone with slight green undertones, such as Ubatuba, Butterfly Antique, and Monterry Green. Good luck!
Marble.com - Kinga 06:27PM, Nov 29 2011 I feel the Imperial Coffee is a wonderful choice for your space. The stone will provide your cabinets wonderful contrast and balance. Also check out Brown Bahia and Maron Bahia for other beautiful options.
SMJ 03:43PM, Nov 23 2011 i have new antique white cabinets (more towards the white side) raised panel, new gray porcelain 16 x16 floor tiles on diagonal thinking about imperial coffee granite counters older basically u-shaped cabinet area open to LV RM with oak floors what do you think? (small kitchen 50's cape)
Marble.com - Derek 08:45PM, Sep 21 2011 Excellent choice. The Coffee Imperial is elegant and reflective. It's surely to be a centerpiece of your kitchen design. Go for it!
Marble.com - Kinga 05:45PM, Sep 21 2011 Absolutely!
The Coffee Imperial would look stunning against your cabinets as would Bahia Brown, Black Galaxy and Blue Dakota. Let me know what you think!
DB 01:44PM, Sep 21 2011 I have wet bar with Diamond Shiloh maple cabinets in wheat. I'm considering imperial coffee for the countertop. Do you think this would work? Any other recommendations? The wet bar is in a rec room with dark wood furniture, leather couch, etc. and decorated in a mission/arts & crafts style. Thanks.
Marble.com - Derek 05:27PM, Sep 7 2011 Take a look at Tropical Brown and let me know if that's going in the right direction for you. Good luck!
SaltedBagel 05:03AM, Sep 3 2011 Hello, I planned on having a white cabinet, black granite countertop, contemporary kitchen. Unfortunately, my new cabinets do not look white in my home. I have canvas-colored cabinets, decorator white walls and walnut flooring. I do not like a busy pattern for my countertop. What countertop do you recommend for a contemporary feel? Thank you for your help.
Marble.com - Kinga 06:37PM, Jul 21 2011 A cream subway tile would look amazing with Imperial Coffee granite and white cabinets. Go for it!
Marble.com - Derek 02:09PM, Jul 21 2011 Imperial Coffee looks classy and elegant against a light vanity and dark trim, you're on the right track. For tile, I'd use a creamy subway tile or something along those tiles. Good luck!
JM 10:31PM, Jul 20 2011 I am thinking about using imperial coffee in a small powder room with white vanity and dark trim. would that work and if so what color tile would you recommend? thx.
Doug 12:39PM, Apr 2 2011 We have Aristokraft Oakland Spice cabinets. The plan is to get all new stainless steel appliances with the Imperial Coffee granite tops. There is some natural light coming from our patio door that faces west. Would this be a good choice and do you have any suggestion for what type of wood floor that would compliment the countertop choice.
- All Granite and Marble 01:04PM, Apr 2 2011 Doug: Imperial Coffee is a stunning choice to go against spice cabinetry. Another option could be Bahia Brown. For flooring, I recommend a natural travertine tile.
Jenny 04:13PM, Feb 10 2011 Hello, My husband and I just remodeled our kitchen. We chose maple "Canvas" colored cabinets by kraftmaid, which is an off white and we have red-oak flooring, natural finish. Our Kitchen is small and doesn't get much natural light. I was thinking a light stone like giallo ornamental but my husband wants to see contrast. I was thinking that impreial coffee would be a good option where is's not too dark for me. We are both concerned about our kitchen having a "universal" appeal, just in case we ever have to sell down the road, we don't want to pick anything thatis too busy / loud. Thanks
- All Granite and Marble 10:22AM, Feb 11 2011 Jenny: The Imperial Coffee is a solid choice for an excellent contrast. My other recommendations are Ubatuba, Bahia Brown, and Golden Jade.
Toni 07:48PM, Feb 8 2011 Thank you for your suggestions. But can you also tell me how to get samples of these to bring home
- All Granite and Marble 08:54AM, Feb 9 2011 Toni: We have free samples available for pick up at any of our five locations. We do not mail them out.
Toni 12:43PM, Feb 8 2011 Thank you for your suggestion of getting a sample of the Imperial Coffee. Since you have a concern about there not being enough contrast, can you give me any other suggestions that might work? By the way, how can I go about getting a sample?
- All Granite and Marble 03:37PM, Feb 8 2011 Toni: Well, some lighter options for your design could be Giallo Ornamental, Astoria, Amba Gold, and Colonial Gold. But I'm not saying the Imperial Coffee is a bad choice. An elegant and darker color like Imperial Coffee will create warmth in your design. I recommend to get samples and bring them home to see how they look in your kitchen.
Toni 11:03PM, Feb 7 2011 Hi, I have a small kitchen, american walnut flooring, light walnut cabinets and black appliances. Gets sunlight in the afternoon. Any suggestions? Would Imperial Coffee work with this?
- All Granite and Marble 09:57AM, Feb 8 2011 Toni: The Imperial Coffee will surely compliment the natural walnut wood in your design. I'm concerned that there is not much contrast but if you receive plenty of natural light then it should not be a problem. Get a sample of the Imperial Coffee and check how it looks in your kitchen set-up.
Karen 05:35PM, Jan 20 2011 Hii My cabinets are a shefield maple with a harvest bronze finish.. The floors is large tiles sand/baige.. Kitchen is 10 x 16 with some natural light..; All stainless appliances.. What do u think about imperial cofee or can you reccommend another choice ?
- All Granite and Marble 10:46AM, Jan 24 2011 Karen: The Imperial Coffee is a sleek and elegant granite that will exceptionally compliment your maple cabinets. Another option could be Bahia Brown.
Nancy 07:35PM, Jan 8 2011 I have honey oak cabinets with white appliances. My kitchen is 11X12, and gets no natural light. I'll pick a floor and backsplash after getting the countertops. I like both Tropical Brown and Imperial Coffee. What do you suggest?
- All Granite and Marble 08:51AM, Jan 10 2011 Nancy: I'm leaning towards Imperial Coffee for more contrast and an elegant feel.
Marina 08:30PM, Oct 15 2010 I have a brindle birch cabinet with noce travertine tiles. What do you think?
- All Granite and Marble 10:08AM, Oct 18 2010 Marina: I think that combination would look excellent.
amyc 01:53PM, Sep 3 2010 I have a maple wheat color cabinet. Look for the dark brown countertop without busy pattern. Is this one good? Also, what group of pirce it is? Thanks
- All Granite and Marble 09:32AM, Sep 8 2010 Amyc: Imperial Coffee is a good choice. It's price group is Single Gold. Another option is Bahia Brown.
david 08:13PM, Apr 24 2010 how would this look with honey spice maple with stainless steel appliances? is there another granite you could also recommend with those. thanks
- All Granite and Marble 09:18AM, Apr 26 2010 david: Imperial Coffee is a rich, elegant choice. Another option could be Ubatuba.
Jay 01:11PM, Mar 2 2010 How would this look with honey oak cabinets in a small kitchen that has white appliances?
