I have medium oak cabinets. Do you think Kashmir Gold will go with them?

Mary: Yes. It's a warm and bright set-up.

Hi,
I have maghonany coloured cabinets with tumbled travetine backsplash. My floor tile has a very slight tinge of pinkish orange. Which granite goes better, Madura Gold or Kashmir Gold
Thanks
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:48AM, Jun 1 2010.
Anna: I'm leaning towards Kashmir Gold. It has less orange hues and will offset the mahogany cabinets nicely.

what is the price per sqft?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:33AM, May 7 2010.
mike: For pricing please contact the sales office.
Stephanie - GUESTat 04:33PM, Mar 31 2010.
Thanks....but I meant to ask about Colonial Gold and Kashmir Gold. I am still hoping you will say Colonial Gold though. Are both in the same approx. price range?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:39PM, Mar 31 2010.
Stephanie: For pricing please contact the sales office. And I'm still leaning towards Colonial Gold, the brown veining will highlight your cabinets and the white will contrast nicely. And it will not look orange like the Kashmir Gold.

I have hazelnut maple cabinets with a black glaze. I am deciding between Colonial Gold (beige/gold with dark brown spleckles that match the cabs) or Madura Gold (darker granite). What do you think would be better? I am looking for a traditional look. Thanks!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 02:56PM, Mar 31 2010.
Stephanie: Colonial Gold.

We have ivory cream cabs w/bronze glaze, red oak floors and a cherry island (chestnut finish). Trying to find granite that pulls in both without overwhelming the room (ie not too orange). I ahve seen this stone look amazing in pics, but in person alot of pink and peach. Why is that..is it more a white stone w/gold or white stone w/peach streaks.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 11:40AM, Mar 25 2010.
Fran: Each delivery looks different. This stone has a light golden/yellow tone, not much peach.

I'm doing a total rehab of my small L-shaped kitchen. I picked steinless steel appliances and cognac colored (dark amber) maple shaker cabinets and island. I'm thinking of Cashmere Gold, New Venitian Gold, Santa Cecilia and Giallo Vincencia for the countertop and 4" backsplash. Which one will be a good choice? What color of wall and hardwood floor will be good to match to have a contemporary look kitchen. Thank you.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:02AM, Mar 12 2010.
Bernadine: I'm leaning towards the Kashmir Gold, it has more movement that will bring the kitchen to life and will compliment the cognac colored cabinets nicely.

I have medium dark cabinets, beige floor tiles, light brown walls. Suggestions for countertops? Have looked at Kashmir Gold, Sapphire Blue.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 02:44PM, Dec 12 2009.
Rita: Perhaps Santa Cecilia for a country-look.

Thanks for answering...So rather than plaster white I'm thinking (of the million shades) a chalk white.
Is it better to blend the floor (since it's a lot of color, and runs through the house) and countertops?
Would a chocolate top,(Say Emperador or Platinum bahia)with softly glazed white cabinets be too busy with the 3rd color entry of the saltillo floor. Or..would the pastel saltillos just blend into the background, possibly use a similar color on the tiny bit of wall left.
And the 3rd option as discussed, would it be more elegant to have the countertops and tumbled onyx which are the same color family match the floor with the white version of cabinets between to break it up. Don't want it to be monotonous. thanks again!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:48AM, Nov 18 2009.
jill: You want to compliment the floor and contrast the cabinets with your granite. That is the usual set-up. The Platinum Bahia would look nice and not be too busy, the Emperador Dark is however marble, and not recommended for a kitchen setting.
Jill - GUESTat 05:19PM, Nov 16 2009.
Love love love your site! I think you need a branch on the west coast...
Ok, here's the dilemma:
Must stay, soft pastel saltillo (works with French Cty/Tuscany etc).
Changing: the 90's bleached oak to a white/glazed cabinet. Love the Something's gotta give lok but need it softened a bit to go with the rest of the house.
Looking at Kashmir Gold and the sample I have is very soft peaches and yellows with gray and brown speckles.
Backsplash - tumbled onyx "Lumina" non glossy finish with all the same colors in the subway shape.
The Kashmir gold (who really knows it's real name here) is identical to the pastel saltillo floor.
Will the glazed white cabinets work? Or should I keep them very white (chalk white, not plasterboard white)...with Oil rubbed bronze hardware for a more relaxed look.
going for elegant but not stuffy.
I started out wanting a chocolate countertop with white kitchen..
Ideas? I have read all comments on all 250 pics fabulous!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:02AM, Nov 17 2009.
Jill : Very white cabinets will create more contrast which is ideal, while the granite and floor will compliment each other beautifully.

I have been to several granite fabricators and they price the granite by "level"; the higher the level the greater $$/ft. Is there a difference in the quality of granite, or is this more a factor of supply/demand? I like the Kashmir Gold (higher Level), so is this considered a better grade of granite over say St. Cecelia?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 05:17PM, Oct 5 2009.
Jeff: With us it is the supply and demand factor, other places I don't know. The rarity of our stones makes the price go up, they are all the same quality

We have brown walnut cabinets, "tuscan red" walls, stainless steel appliances. Can you suggest a granite countertop?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:19AM, Sep 1 2009.
valerie: If you like greens check out Jade Green, the burgundy speckling would compliment the walls and cabinets -- or lighter like Santa Cecilia.

Would this Kashimir gold stone work with maple cabinets that have a brown finish almost cinnamon color
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:12AM, Jul 31 2009.
Jo: Absolutely!

Hello, we have picked out a creamy light colored kashmir gold slab for our countertops with hardly no peach but more silver grey veining and LOTS of mica chips. We have Canvas cabinets and Special Walnut stain on oak floors. Can you recommend a backsplash?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:33AM, Jul 27 2009.
karen R: I would do Mosaic tile backsplash.
Kristy - GUESTat 12:40PM, Mar 11 2009.
I have Natural Oak cabinets with a light cream floor.
Are my oak cabinets too country/casual to use Golden Beach or Kashmir gold? All patterned granite seems to fights with the grain. Can you make suggestions.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 01:13PM, Mar 12 2009.
Kristy: Try to move away from the color of the cabinets. That should help a lot.

Kashmair Gold and Juperana Sierra are the same stone.
Ned - GUESTat 09:23AM, Jan 16 2008.
Have you heard of a stone called Juperana Sierra? Is it the same as Kashmir Gold
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:56AM, Jan 16 2008.
Ned: I haven't heard that name, but as I always say, it's certainly possible that the two names are the same stone.

i love the combination of kashmir gold countertop with the cabinets shown in the picture. Can you tell what kind of cabinets these are? The combination is just what I'm looking for
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 01:48PM, Jul 25 2007.
nina: Unfortunately I don't know what is the name of that particular style or color of those cabinets. We fabricated the countertops only.
