  • Marble.com - Derek 08:29PM, Jan 26 2012 Seems like you're right on track for a warm and inviting kitchen atmosphere. The Santa Cecilia is a solid, attractive choice that will withstand the test of time nicely. Another option you could consider, from a similar family in terms of color tone and pattern, is Giallo Napoleone. As for the backsplash, my suggestion is Merola Cobble subway tile for a soft and elegant choice. I've attached a picture for your reference. If you'd like tile suggestions with more depth and color, just let me know if this does not attract you. Good luck!
  • JennD 01:20PM, Jan 23 2012 We have an eat-in kitchen in a traditional colonial that gets a good amount of light from windows along one wall.  So far we have chosen Kraftmaid Maple "Cognac" cabinets, "Honey Maple" Knight Plank by Karndean luxury vinyl wood plank.  We are leaning toward St. Cecelia for the granite as we would like to paint the walls a rich, warm golden color.  Do you think that is a good choice or do you have a better suggestion?  We are completely at a loss as far as color/material for backsplash.  I love reading your recommendations!  Thank you :)
  • Marble.com - Derek 03:34PM, Jan 10 2012 In addition to Kinga's excellent suggestions, you may also want to look at Benjamin Moore line tones that are more in the warm neutrals side, such as "Barely Beige" and "Navajo White".
  • Marble.com - Derek 03:16PM, Jan 10 2012 I recommend Mina Rustic travertine tiles for your design. My favorite size is 18x18. I've attached an image for your reference.
  • Marble.com - Derek 01:47PM, Jan 10 2012 Sure! Take a look at Benjamin Moore "Honeyed Almond" and "Rich Cream".
  • Marble.com - Kinga 12:33PM, Jan 9 2012 I would recommend a warm yellow tone like Benjamin Moore’s “Lemon Ice” or “Calla Lily”. Let me know what you think!
  • Patcakes79 05:20PM, Jan 8 2012 i have chosen sienna bordeux granite countertops, cherry primrose cabinetry and naxos aventino flooring, i am considering what benjamin moore colors to choose for the walls, any suggestions.
  • Marble.com - Kinga 05:31PM, Jan 7 2012 Have you considered using tile that resembles hardwood? If not, I would recommend a lighter floor to brighten up the space like the Almond Spice with a decorative border like Vallelunga Navona Beige Intreccio Grande. Let me know what you think!
  • Fingers22 04:10PM, Jan 7 2012 I have selected tan brown granite with cherry bordeaux cabinets. Can you make a suggestion for flooring -- I was looking at 18" or 24" tiles
  • shirley mccuen 10:55PM, Jan 5 2012 Derek, I went on the internet and looked at the colors you suggested.  They look very nice but there aren't any Mythic stores in my area.  Could you suggest similar colors in another line such as Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore?

    Thank you.
  • Marble.com - Derek 03:00PM, Jan 5 2012 My recommendations for an organic and environmentally friendly wall color to warm up and offset the dark tones in the design would be Mythic line "Golden Valley" or "Gayla Cream". Let me know what you think!
  • shirley mccuen 07:19PM, Jan 4 2012 I have tan brown granite countertops with cherry cabinets and stainless appliances.  what color should the walls be painted to make the room warm and up to date.
  • Marble.com - Kinga 08:30PM, Dec 27 2011 Check out the Kashmir White, Astoria and Classic White. Let me know what you think so far!
  • Marble.com - Derek 03:21PM, Dec 27 2011 Do you enjoy movement and veins in the granite or a more consistent, speckled pattern? Are you learning toward a lighter or darker color? Lastly, is there any choices that have caught your attention so far?
  • Joe 03:47AM, Dec 26 2011 I have midnight maple armstrong hardwood floors (dark flooring) and light oak cabinets.  I was needing some advice as to what color countertops I should get.  Any suggestions?
  • Marble.com - Derek 09:56PM, Dec 21 2011 What color exactly are your cabinets? I'm having trouble looking up this particular shade of Sherwin William cabinets. It a very dark color, almost like a black? As for backsplash, I'd possibly use a choice such as Merola Cobble Subway Tile. It's a polar cream finish with a crackle glaze, very warm and welcoming. I've attached a picture idea for your reference.
  • Marble.com - Kinga 01:28PM, Dec 20 2011 A subway tile is a fine choice for your setup. A white subway tile would give you a clean and crisp look while a linear mosaic like Somertile Reflections Piano Brixton Stone and Glass Mosaic would give you an interesting and elegant feel. For wall colors, I would suggest a neutral paint like Benjamin Moore’s “White Cloud” or “Light Breeze”. Let me know what you think!
  • Alicia L. 10:15PM, Dec 19 2011 I have selected Tan Brown granite countertops, Sherwin Williams "Caviar" cabinets, and Shaw wood floors in Bright Angel.  The appliances will be stainless steel.  What do you recommend for backsplash ideas and wall color?  I am leaning towards the subway tile look but could really use some ideas.  Thanks!
  • Marble.com - Derek 06:33PM, Dec 9 2011 What are your ideas so far? Do you want to paint the cabinets a light color? Do you enjoy granite that has movement and veins or a more consistent, speckled pattern? Any colors that have caught your attention so far?
  • Wrw_39 07:46PM, Dec 8 2011 I have wonderful painted cabinets that need repainting, I have nice black appliances and a beidgeish tile floor. I want to paint the cabinets and walls and install a granite countertop and backsplash  to try to pull it all together without replacing the floor and appliances. Any suggestions?
  • Marble.com - Kinga 12:47PM, Dec 2 2011 Tan Brown is a fantastic choice for your setup. Another wonderful option is the Coffee Brown. Good luck!
  • Marble.com - Derek 09:50PM, Nov 9 2011 Tan Brown is a fine choice and will bring warmth to the design as well as offset the cabinetry. Another option you could try is Amarello Boreal.
  • Linda 11:28PM, Nov 6 2011 we are redoing our kitchen counters. The cabinets are a beechwood and appear to have a slightly red tint to them. We will be redoing the paint and flooring later with tile. Looking for a classier look. We are considering the tan brown or possibly portofino. Do you have any other suggestions that would go with the cabinets?
  • Marble.com - Kinga 09:54PM, Oct 20 2011 If noce travertine is too light, check out brown slate or chocolate tumbled marble tiles. Let us know what you think!
  • Marble.com - Derek 09:06PM, Oct 20 2011 We don't have information on the backsplash tiles used in the videos, only information on the countertop itself. If the Noce is a little too light for your taste, I recommend to check out Mocha travertine and Durango limestone tiles. Good luck!
  • Amy 04:02PM, Oct 20 2011 Hello,
    We are preparing to remove our "UGH" backsplash and would love ideas for a backsplash tile. We have the tan brown granite and darker cherry cabinets. We bought the tumbled noce but it seems a bit light. I love the color in the third video above (with the raised bar). It seems to have more reddish colors in it. What is it called?
  • Marble.com - Derek 01:40PM, Oct 20 2011 Do you know what type of gray floor tile you have installed? It's a pretty general statement to tell us that you have gray tiles, just because there are so many shades, patterns, and designs of gray tile! But as a universal consensus, a gray colored tile would compliment the Tan Brown granite quite nicely. I think you're in the clear.
  • Marble.com - Kinga 11:26AM, Oct 20 2011 I think a grey floor would work with Tan Brown and maple cabinets as long as you keep the backsplash and wall color light. For other beautiful options, check out Astoria, Gold Antique and Minsk Green. Click here to see a comparison table http://www.marble.com/material.... Let me know what you think!
  • Miss 01:16AM, Oct 19 2011 we have gray tile floors and maple glazed cabinets.Would this color counter top be to dark with a dark floor? Or..... lighter counter top be better???
  • Marble.com - Derek 01:12PM, Oct 13 2011 When incorporating a white colored countertop, a white sink (ex. granite composite) is popular for a clean and crisp look. It can be farmhouse style or a regular undermounted variety. I've attached an image to show you what I mean. If this is not possible, then do not worry as you can simply use the stainless steel sink because stainless steel is a very timeless and classic choice -- looks nice with virtually anything. Good luck!
  • Nynana 01:02PM, Oct 13 2011 would stainless steel sink go well with a white tile counter top
  • Marble.com - Kinga 04:09PM, Oct 7 2011 Also check out Benjamin Moore’s “Tucson Winds” and “Foggy Morning”.
  • Marble.com - Derek 03:46PM, Oct 7 2011 As in my answer to your previous question about this, I recommend Benjamin Moore "Linen White" (first image) and "Navajo White" (second image). How do you feel about these? If you don't like them, I can give you other suggestions.
  • Lynn 03:27PM, Oct 7 2011 I have Maple cabinets vanity in my bathroom and  tropical brown granite countertop. My walls are painted torchlight by Sherwin Williams.  I think the walls are too dark  similar in color to mustard, yellow -gold-brown.   Any suggestions on a lighter color to accent the granite?
    Lynn
  • Marble.com - Kinga 09:12PM, Aug 25 2011 I was trying to find a photo of your cabinets but unfortunately, I was unsuccessful. Would you be able to attach a photo for our review? At this time, I cannot provide you with an opinion as I am unsure of the look of your cabinetry.
  • hwita 02:10AM, Aug 25 2011 We are planning to buy Tan bran coutertops and Teagan red cabinets.  Do you recommend this choice? and what do you think we should choose for back splash,floor and wall colors? I don't really like wall beige colors .  Thanks a lot.
  • Marble.com - Derek 05:31PM, Aug 17 2011 A slate floor tile would compliment the granite nicely and the overall organic feel of the design. For wall color, the current strong accent could be toned down with a softer and calmer shade such as Benjamin Moore 'Linen White'. Go to the local home improvement store and get paint color chip samples and bring them home to try out the different color palette options. I've attached images for references to my recommendations. Good luck!
  • Marble.com - Derek 01:41PM, Aug 17 2011 The Tan Brown will surely offset your cabinets beautifully, and create the dissimilar elements aspect of design for a nice contrast. Our 'Capadoccia' Hammered Edge Brushed travertine tile would create a warm atmosphere as a backsplash material. You can take a look at this option here: http://www.marble.com/material...
  • 1elainebond 08:47PM, Aug 16 2011 Pictures are of the units but not of our kitchen as we need to remove the units so we do have a blank canvas concerning walls tiles and flooring. Love the style of kitchen and want to enhance it.
  • Marble.com - Kinga 08:11PM, Aug 15 2011 I think the Tan Brown would look fantastic against white cabinets because you will have a lovely contrast. A tumbled travertine (for ‘redder’ shipments of the Tan Brown) or tumbled marble (for more brown shipments) would be a great choice. For added visual interest, a patterned design behind the stove or cooktop would be great addition. Let me know what you think!
  • Marble.com - Kinga 07:51PM, Aug 15 2011 Would you be able to post a photo of your kitchen for our review? Otherwise, it will be difficult to provide you with our opinions.
  • Nancy 01:56PM, Aug 15 2011 I have white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, medium colored oak floors and wondering if tan brown granite would look okay and what tile back splash to recommend and paint. Thanks!
  • 1elainebond 08:05AM, Aug 13 2011 Elaine
    Sorry meant Mark Wilkinson kitchen!
  • 1elainebond 08:00AM, Aug 13 2011 Please help, have just been given a Paul Wilkinson cooks kitchen with tan/charcoal granite worktops, would love advice about floor tiles and wall colour. Kitchen includes butler sink etc.
    Elaine
  • Mary 06:08PM, Jun 1 2011 Like Donna, I'm installing Tan Brown Granite, cherry cabinets and a silgranite sink but I chose "anthracite". Do you think anthracite will be too dark? Appliances will be stainless.
    • All Granite and Marble 06:40PM, Jun 1 2011 It depends. Is there a lot of natural light coming into the kitchen? I would suggest using a light neutral paint color.
  • Donna 02:16PM, May 17 2011 one more question. Would the truffle silgranite sink influence the color I use for the back splash and wall color? What color tile and paint would you suggest to go along with my tan brown counter top, truffle sink and cherry cabinets
    • All Granite and Marble 10:35AM, May 19 2011 Donna: For backsplash, try a tumbled "Noce" travertine tile. For wall color, I'd use a neutral lighter color with a hit of warmth, try Benjamin Moore "Honeyed Almond" or something along those lines.
  • Donna 12:17PM, May 17 2011 I have chosen tan brown granite countertop with dark cherry cabinets (matches chestnut color in granite). I like the silgranite sinks. How do you think the new color truffle would look with that granite. I sort of want to stay away from stainless steel sink. I have SS appliances.
    • All Granite and Marble 12:50PM, May 17 2011 Donna: It's a calm, soft, and muted color. Would compliment your design nicely, I say go for it!
  • aaron 10:15PM, Apr 28 2011 i have mocha cabinets, tan brown countertop, brown light floor. stainless steel apliances .i need help for for wall color and backsplash tile .thanks
    • All Granite and Marble 09:17AM, Apr 29 2011 Aaron: Try a tumbled "Noce" travertine tile and Benjamin Moore "Honeyed Almond" wall color.
  • michelle 12:08PM, Apr 6 2011 We have tan brown countertops, cherry cabinets and floors, and stainless appliances. Lookng for a wall color with some pop, trying to stay away from beiges. Thanks
    • All Granite and Marble 09:12AM, Apr 7 2011 Michelle: Perhaps something like Benjamin Moore "Lemon Meringue" would be a good choice.
  • dorthy 01:50PM, Mar 24 2011 In the kitchen i have chocolate brown floors, soft suede wall color what color backsplash to use
    • All Granite and Marble 08:58AM, Mar 29 2011 Dorthy: Is Tan Brown your countertop material?
  • Scottie 06:52PM, Mar 10 2011 We're building and have chosen Tan Brown Granite, Cognac Maple cabinets, and a cherry oak floor. Appliances will be Stainless Steel -- I'd like some suggestions on backsplash tiles and wall color. This will also be part of the great room, so I want it to pop without being overpowering.
    • All Granite and Marble 08:44AM, Mar 11 2011 Scottie: For backsplash, I recommend a tumbled Noce travertine tile. As for wall color, try Benjamin Moore "Lemon Breeze" or "Barely Beige".
  • karlene heck 11:00AM, Feb 19 2011 we have white kichen cabinets with tan brown countertops and full backsplash,stainless appliances and oak floors. Trying to decide on a color for the walls . Ayn suggestions?
    • All Granite and Marble 10:06AM, Feb 21 2011 Karlene Heck: For wall color, try Benjamin Moore "Muslin".
  • Terri 11:54AM, Feb 7 2011 I have maple (light on the cinnamon side) cabinets and we just picked out a tan brown granite for our countertops. I need a backsplash that will compliment both choices. Our walls are a light sage color. Any suggestions?
    • All Granite and Marble 09:53AM, Feb 8 2011 Terri: I recommend a tumbled Noce travertine tile for your set-up as the backsplash.
  • Patrick Farley 04:37PM, Feb 5 2011 My partner and I just picked Tan Brown granite countertops. We will have Kona (very dark brown) countertops, and a cappuccino wood floor. Teh backsplash will be Folio Artistico Meteor Series (rust with 105 Earth). I'm having trouble picking out a paint color. Can you help? Thanks!
    • All Granite and Marble 01:04PM, Feb 7 2011 Patrick Farley: I suggest a calm and neutral color. Try Benjamin Moore "Barely Beige" or "Honeyed Almond". If you'd like more color for the walls, try Benjamin Moore "Classic Caramel". Let me know what you think of these suggestions.
  • Tawanna 03:15PM, Jan 18 2011 Hi, I have Maple cognac cabinets and a tan brown granite countertop, I am painting my walls antique white with one accent wall new penny. What color ceramic/porcelin tile should I put on the floor?
    • All Granite and Marble 12:25PM, Jan 19 2011 Tawanna: For your design I recommend Raffia Noce Ceramic Tile.
  • Jenny of Austin 09:10PM, Nov 21 2010 We just installed highly variegated slate floors and backsplash in our kitchen. The slate has gray, navy, rust, brown, charcoal. We installed tan brown granite counters. What should we paint our cabinets? My husband is leaning towards a dark rusty/reddish paint, but this would mean dark slate floors, dark counters, and dark slate backsplash with dark cabinets. (The ceiling will be a creamy white, and most of the walls are actually windows). Any other ideas for the cabinet color? Please no white or pastels.
    • All Granite and Marble 10:14AM, Nov 22 2010 Jenny Of Austin: A cherry colored cabinet would be most appropriate in this design. If you have plenty of natural light in the kitchen then the dark set-up will not be a problem.
  • Lauren 01:44PM, Nov 13 2010 I have honey oak cabinets, tan and brown granite, stainless backsplash and black appliances and tlight tan floor. What would be a good color for the walls? Actually, the area to be painted is not large - one small wall and on top of the counters pretty much and on a wall that is mostly windows. Also any good color suggestions for the window dressing?
    • All Granite and Marble 02:07PM, Nov 15 2010 Lauren: For wall color, I recommend Benjamin Moore "Honeyed Almond".
  • carolann 09:52PM, Oct 31 2010 i HAVE RUSTY TAN WALLS GLAZE MAPLE CABINETS AND BLACK GRANITE , AND A CREAM COLOR FLOOR
    • All Granite and Marble 11:44AM, Nov 1 2010 Carolann: Seems like you're on the right track.
  • Keri 12:05PM, Oct 27 2010 I've just bought natural hickory cabinets and tropical brown granite for the countertops. All appliances are stainless. I would love help with tile colors for the floor and walls. The kitchen opens up to the house which is a deep red color. Thanks!
    • All Granite and Marble 12:24PM, Oct 28 2010 Keri: I suggest going with tumbled noce travertine tile for the floor and a light beige wall tile.
  • Denise Mazza 08:32AM, Oct 2 2010 I have cherry stained maple cabinets with tan brown counter tops I want to update the terracotta floor to a more contemporary look. I'm considering a dark porcelain floor. Will it make the room too dark ?
    • All Granite and Marble 09:58AM, Oct 4 2010 Denise Mazza: It might. I'd brighten things up with a lighter marble or travertine tumbled backsplash and a warm wall color.
  • guest 05:47PM, Sep 28 2010 We have cherry cabinets, would have neutral color walls and lighter color tiles on the floor, would color counter tops would you recommend? We have looked at Tan Brown, and Rosewood .
    • All Granite and Marble 09:04AM, Sep 29 2010 Guest: I'm leaning towards Rosewood. It's a richer pattern. Also take a look at Golden Rock.
  • maria braden 01:58PM, Aug 9 2010 Forgot to add I would love to try to incorporate some sort of glass tile. . just not sure how it would look?????
  • maria braden 01:55PM, Aug 9 2010 I have maple cabinets in a cinnamon color, tan brown granite counter tops ss appliances and a copper sink. . I need help with back splash and wall color. Kitchen is open to rest of house with lots of recessed lighting and light rails under the cabinets. Any input would be great!!
    • All Granite and Marble 10:33AM, Aug 10 2010 Maria Braden: A glass tile would fit your design nicely, try a glass mosaic with earthtone inserts to compliment your granite. For wall color, I recommend Benjamin Moore "Barely Beige".
  • Beverly Brown 08:03PM, Aug 8 2010 I just installed Tan Brown Kitchen counters. My cabinets are maple (natural) with white tile on floors. Stainless appliances and sinks. I need to repaint the kitchen walls and also get a nice backsplash. Should I go cooler cooler on kitchen walls or a warm neutral color. Also am redoing a powder room. New cherry vanity, with Tan Brown Granite and white ceramic floors. 4 X 5 Powder room with no windows and white sink and toilet. I thought a light Terra Cotta would look nice on the walls. The Tan Brown doesn't have a lot of Terra Cotta color in it. Sorry this is so long. Advice would be welcomed.
    • All Granite and Marble 08:44AM, Aug 9 2010 Beverly Brown: I'm leaning towards a warm wall color, try Benjamin Moore "Buttered Toffee". As for the bathroom, a terracotta tile would compliment the shades of the Tan Brown nicely, go for it!
  • Denise Dube 07:18PM, Jul 30 2010 .....and I'm thinking of a sand color for the walls. The countertop really has me baffled... I really want something with a black base w/ some tan or brown.... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
    • All Granite and Marble 09:19AM, Aug 2 2010 Denise Dube: The Tan Brown pictured on this page sounds like the stone for you! Another option with a richer pattern could be Amazon Tiger or Cosmic Black RW.
  • Denise Dube 06:55PM, Jul 30 2010 I just ordered new cabinets... maple honey w/ a coffee glaze, stainless steel appliances, not sure on the floor ... leaning toward neutral tile but I'm thinking the tan brown granite for the counter top. I have a sample and I love it but when I looked at a full slab the red was brighter... what do you think? I also saw the Bahia Brown on your site and it looked beautiful... help!
    • All Granite and Marble 09:25AM, Aug 2 2010 Denise Dube: The Bahia Brown is also an excellent choice and will create a rich contrast against your maple wood.
  • jeannette barry 08:51AM, Jul 25 2010 I am trying to find a paint color that will match a light crema marfil marble...What is your suggestion?
    • All Granite and Marble 09:12AM, Jul 26 2010 Jeannette Barry: Try Benjamin Moore "Honeyed Almond".
  • christina 03:26PM, Jul 24 2010 Having a house built. We have chosen cherry cabinets, honey oak floors and creamy tannish yellow walls for kitchen. We were thinking of Tan Brown or Santa Cecilia countertops. What would you recommend?
    • All Granite and Marble 08:43AM, Jul 26 2010 Christina: I'm leaning towards the lighter Santa Cecilia to create a nice contrast with your cherry wood.
  • chloe 12:50PM, Jul 24 2010 I have white cabinets in my bathroom with a light tan tile. I was debating between tan brown and Venetian gold. I thought tan brown would add contrast. What do you suggest?

  • Nathan 12:31AM, Jul 20 2010 Hi, I have medium oak cabinets along with a slate colored tile floor. I have stainless steel applicanes and the kitchen is surrounded by oak hardwood floors. I was wondering if the tan brown is a good choice of granite or if it would be too dark. Any help or suggestions is appreciated. Thanks
    • All Granite and Marble 08:28AM, Jul 20 2010 Nathan: The Tan Brown sounds like an appropriate choice. The stone will offset the oak wood while giving a nice compliment to the slate floor, go for it!
  • Louise 04:06AM, Jul 19 2010 I have light oak cabinets, tan brown granite countertops and travertine floor tiles. Please can you help with my dilemma re: kitchen sink? I hate stainless steel (had it in my previous house and it was difficult to maintain) so I've got to get it right this time in my new build. Have considered a granite sink in Champagne because the tan brown is quite dark, range cooker is black so the lighter coloured sink might be a nice contrast. What do you think? Or have I lost the plot, ha ha!?
    • All Granite and Marble 12:47PM, Jul 20 2010 Louise: Granite composite sinks are beautiful and I think if you used one it would fit your design nicely. Go with a lighter color as you've said.
  • Justin 11:56PM, Jul 12 2010 I forgot to mention I have a very light yellowish/white Faux finish on the walls, and cream cabinets, beige tiled back splash and medium oak flooring. I was considering Tan/Brown, Tropical Brown, Absolute Black, Santa Cecilia or Bianco Romano. I want it to "pop" but also be classy and elegant?
    • All Granite and Marble 08:16AM, Jul 13 2010 Justin: I'm leaning towards the Tan Brown. It will create a rich contrast yet has a timeless looko.
  • Justin 06:42PM, Jul 12 2010 I have off white cabinets, tan tiled backsplash and medium oak flooring. Would tan/brown go better then absolute black. Looking for a classy look.
  • Carol 08:02AM, Jul 3 2010 My kitchen has washed birch cabinet, Kali Tobaco marble and red glass backsplash, stainless steel range and hood, white appliances and Porcelanosa Ferroker (weathered blueish rusty metal look) floor. What color countertop would you suggest? Is this a good match? what paint color do you suggest?
    • All Granite and Marble 09:20AM, Jul 6 2010 Carol: The Tan Brown shown here is an excellent choice, or Amazon Star granite. For wall color try Benjamin Moore "Buttered Toffee".
  • Mandy 04:58PM, Jun 1 2010 Follow-up question to my original post, what color paint and what type of backsplash would you recommend for my set-up (maple spice cabinets, gunstock floors, SS appliances)? Thanks.
    • All Granite and Marble 10:29AM, Jun 2 2010 Mandy: A tumbled botticino marble tile cut diagonally would look nice with the Tan Brown. And try Benjamin Moore "Honeyed Almond" for wall color.
  • Mandy 11:03AM, May 29 2010 I'm building a new house. So far I picked maple spice cabinets, gunstock (red oak) hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances (the stove has a black top). Will this be a good match? If not, can you suggest any others.
    • All Granite and Marble 10:11AM, Jun 1 2010 Mandy: Excellent match! The Tan Brown will add the warmth you're looking for in your set-up.
  • DeAnn 09:28PM, May 2 2010 In my kitchen I have maple cabinets in a toffee stain, American Olean tile floor in dark chocolate, stainless appliances w black accents. The walls are painted green and I have dark brown drapes. I have chosen 2 granite colors. Tan Brown and Tropical brown. I want a contemporary yet warm feel. Which granite would you suggest and what ideas for glass tile backsplash?
    • All Granite and Marble 01:58PM, May 3 2010 DeAnn: I'm leaning towards Tropical Brown, it will create a rich and inviting atmosphere yet won't be too dark.
  • Art 08:38PM, Apr 18 2010 I'm considering getting tan brown countertop and I would like to know if a earth tones glass mosaic backsplash would be a good match my cabinets are maple with stainless steel appliances.

  • Debbie 10:38PM, Apr 15 2010 If I have tan brown granite countertop and tumbled noce travertine tile backsplash should I get a stainless steel sink or a black granite sink.
    • All Granite and Marble 08:57AM, Apr 16 2010 Debbie: I'm leaning towards stainless steel, Tan Brown is already a dark shade in your design.
  • Mike 11:21AM, Apr 15 2010 We have medium oak cabinets and natural oak color floors.We are looking for granite colors. Medium light. What color also for walls?Have thought of tan brown for granite.
    • All Granite and Marble 08:40AM, Apr 16 2010 Mike: Tan Brown is an excellent choice, will provide good contrast. Another option is Tropical Brown. Try Benjamin Moore "Honeyed Almond" for the walls.

  • Carol 08:17PM, Apr 14 2010 I have medium oak cabinets and lighter oak laminate floors. Would tan brown be a good choice for a granite countertop? The walls are a fawn beige and one wall is adobe.

  • Caroline 01:14PM, Apr 13 2010 We have cherry cabinets and want to go with the Tan Brown granite. What do you suggest for the tile floor and paint? The room is not particularly bright.
    • All Granite and Marble 03:05PM, Apr 13 2010 Caroline: Keep it light and simple -- try Dorado porcelain tile for the floors, and Benjamin Moore "Hepplewhite Ivory" as wall paint.
  • Paula 10:16PM, Apr 5 2010 I have Oak cabinets and woodwork, pecan floor, black appliances and we are puttibg in the tan brown granite. What should I do for a backsplash?
    • All Granite and Marble 12:11PM, Apr 6 2010 Paula: Perhaps Scabos tumbled travertine tile will fit your design nicely.
  • Heidi 03:14PM, Apr 1 2010 My cabinets are Antique White, applicances are Almond, Floors are a terra cotta color and walls are a molasses color. Will Tan Brown Granite give my kitchen a nice contrast or will it be too dark?

  • Bonnie 07:11PM, Mar 18 2010 Small kitchen-lots of light-tan walls-cabinets are Kraftmaid canvas w.cocoa glaze.Thinking of: bianca romano granite & so ho tile backsplash. I want a WOW factor. Thank you so much
    • All Granite and Marble 08:51AM, Mar 19 2010 Bonnie: This is a beautiful set up, very warm. Go for it!
  • Madhuri 10:34PM, Mar 11 2010 We are going for Scottsdale maple cabinets in cognac color with a medium color hardwood called the Gunstock. Would the tan brown granite countertops provide a nice contrast and also tie them all together. We have SS appliances and plenty of light too in the kitchen.
    • All Granite and Marble 10:37AM, Mar 12 2010 Madhuri: Not too much contrast -- However the Tan Brown will blend in nicely.
  • css 04:00PM, Mar 6 2010 we are interested in granite countertops and new wood flooring. only constraints are golden oak cabinets and white appliances. Suggestions?? thanks!

  • stu 07:20PM, Feb 27 2010 Remodeling kitchen with Honey Maple Cabinets. Floors, backsplash,paint have not been picked out. Have looked Giallo Vicenza, Ontario Brown, Ouro Brazil, Tahoe, Tan Brown and Tropical Brown and cannot decide. Heard you were the person to ask. What do I do?
    • All Granite and Marble 12:31PM, Mar 1 2010 stu: I'm leaning towards Tropical Brown. It provides sufficient contrast but is not too dark to make the kitchen look gloomy from the low amount of natural light. It will make your kitchen look warm and inviting.
  • Keith 11:33AM, Feb 2 2010 Have light wood cabinets and light wood floors with white appliances. Walls painted a light beige with a Canyon red accent wall in the sitting room connected and open to the kitchen. Would this color be too dark of a granite countertop for the kitchen with the light wood or would it give it good contrast? Any other colors you could recommend?
    • All Granite and Marble 04:48PM, Feb 2 2010 Keith: It would be excellent, to offset the cabinets it the key. Another suggestion is Tropical Brown.
  • Dee 08:05PM, Jan 31 2010 I have light maple cabinets and light natural floors, both just about the same color. Also have a lot of natural light that passes thorugh the kitchen in the day time. Looking for a dark color granite that will really pop. I'm looking at Tan brown, sapphire brown, black pearl, and ubatuba gold(black not green). Im kinda leaning towards the tan brown but am hesitant because the redness of them in some pics(have not gone to see them in person). Is it possible to get slabs with minmal red, and more brown? What would be the best choice out of those 4 choices that you think woud look the best?
    • All Granite and Marble 03:42PM, Feb 1 2010 Dee: With regards to Tan Brown, it all depends on the batch. Different lots of the same stone will have a change in color tone. This is why you have to pick your slabs! Out of your choices I would rule out Black Pearl and Ubatuba Gold, too stark.
  • Nancy 03:19PM, Jan 30 2010 I have stainless steel appliances, white tile floors and oak cabinets. What color countertop would be good?
    • All Granite and Marble 01:58PM, Feb 1 2010 Nancy: The darker the better -- Butterfly Antique, or the Tan Brown pictured here will look nice.
  • Pam 05:35PM, Jan 25 2010 The cabinet color is "hazelnut" - kind of a lt to med cherry color - smooth grain
    • All Granite and Marble 10:21AM, Jan 26 2010 Pam: In this case everything will tie-in beautifully.
  • Pam 02:11PM, Jan 25 2010 what is your opinion on having perimeter kitchen counters in black impala granite and the cooktop island and a second bi-level island in giallo veneziano granite
    • All Granite and Marble 04:40PM, Jan 25 2010 Pam: What color are your cabinets?
  • Tamara 09:46AM, Jan 24 2010 We have ordered red cherry cabinets with a black glaze and are considering porcelain tile floor that looks like travertine. What granite color & paint color?
    • All Granite and Marble 11:57AM, Jan 25 2010 Tamara: Perhaps Giallo Ornamental, or New Venetian Gold.
  • Vivian 11:50PM, Jan 21 2010 I'm considering Tan Brown countertops. My walls are green, cabinets are light beige and floor salmonlike saltillo tile. Also, have ss appliances. Will this work?
    • All Granite and Marble 09:23AM, Jan 22 2010 Vivian: Absolutely.
  • Linda W. 12:49PM, Jan 13 2010 I have white cabinets with saltillo tile floors. What color granite would you suggest? The saltillo seems too busy for the granites I've looked at.
  • Karen 09:01AM, Jan 9 2010 Looking for wall color?Cabinets are hickory, floor is tile,off white with browns and grays. Any comments for backsplash color and countertop would help also. thanks.
    • All Granite and Marble 11:16AM, Jan 9 2010 Karen: Walls should be light, perhaps a warm yellow like BM-339 Lemon Grass.
  • Micky 01:56PM, Dec 11 2009 We have fruitwood stained oak cabinets and flooring with old school white appliances that will be replaced with stainless. Your thoughts on tan brown or tropical brown are appreciated!
    • All Granite and Marble 03:03PM, Dec 11 2009 Micky: I'm leaning towards Tropical Brown, it will tie-in with the cabinets better.
  • Suzy 01:53PM, Dec 3 2009 What do you think about Santa Cecilia counters with white cabinets?
    • All Granite and Marble 02:00PM, Dec 3 2009 Suzy: Stunning combination! Gives off a country vibe.
  • Jenny 01:29PM, Nov 12 2009 We have white cabinets,ss appliances, and natural red oak floor. The main color in home is yellow, with green and pink accent colors. My sis has same color scheme and has Bainbrook Peach granite countertops, which look really nice, but I understand that color doesn't exist any longer. I'm looking at Tropic Brown but am not entirely convinced that's the right color. What would you suggest?
    • All Granite and Marble 05:20PM, Nov 12 2009 Jenny: Tropical Brown is a great choice, for something lighter look at Santa Cecilia.
  • Sandi 08:58PM, Oct 12 2009 Thanks for the feedback. The kitchen is not particularly spacious. U-shaped, kind of narrow and long. We will be using recessed lights to replace a 4 ft fluorescent fixture, and are adding under cabinet lighting. Had considered a red for the walls, but now think it might be a little too dark. Will not be a lot of wall showing, once done with the 42 inch cabinets and the lighter backsplash, but there will be some. Any suggestions on color family you would point us towards?
  • Sandi 06:14PM, Oct 10 2009 Oops! I had meant to say maple cabinets in honey spice with mocha highlights. Thanks!
    • All Granite and Marble 08:36AM, Oct 13 2009 Sandi: A shade of gold.
  • Sandi 06:13PM, Oct 10 2009 We are remodeling our kitchen and have selected maples cabinets with a honey spice glaze, considering tan brown granite for the counters, medium color hard woods, and stainless steel appliances. The kithcen only has one window but opens up to a dining area with bay windows. My question is will tan brown look good with all the other choices we've made, and if so, should I go with a ligther shade of paint on the walls and a lighter color backsplash since we only have the one windwo?
    • All Granite and Marble 08:59AM, Oct 12 2009 Sandi: Tan Brown is an excellent choice, and you are correct to go lighter with the backsplash & paint, as the granite will be dark. We want to brighten up the room as there is not much natural light. Is the kitchen a spacious area? You also will want to have recessed lights or something similar.
  • Patty 08:55PM, Oct 1 2009 In my kitchen I have light maple cabinets with oak floors and yellow walls, with red and green accents. I get alot of sunlight would tan brown granite work
    • All Granite and Marble 08:34AM, Oct 2 2009 Patty: It would tie-in nicely, also check out Coffee Brown.
  • Susan 02:56PM, Sep 9 2009 I am getting Kraftmaid maple cabinets in natural with cocoa highlights. My floor is a medium honey wood tone, and I am going with tan brown granite countertops, which seemed to provide good contrast against the cabinets. I am looking for color ideas for a tile backsplash.
    • All Granite and Marble 03:14PM, Sep 9 2009 Susan: Use some of the "tan" in the granite and see if you can match it to a backsplash tile (maybe travertine).
  • marlene 10:36PM, Sep 5 2009 We are thinking of installing Kraftmaid cabinets in canvas with cocoa glaze. The walls are a medium beige/ taupe color. Which granite color would look best and what kind and color of back splash tile. thanks so much for any advice!
    • All Granite and Marble 09:51AM, Sep 8 2009 marlene: Yellow/gold tones would work too.
  • Nicole 11:30AM, Aug 24 2009 I was trying to steer clear of a light cabinet color, but don't want the kitchen to be too dark either. Would a mocha/maple cabinet look okay? The kitchen is very open overlooking the living room with lots of windows.
    • All Granite and Marble 12:16PM, Aug 24 2009 Nicole: Absolutely it would look wonderful!
  • Nicole 05:50PM, Aug 22 2009 We'd like to use Tan Brown granite for the coutnertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, but need a suggestion for a nice complementary cabinet color. Tile will be Pietre Noce in both areas, with Tigerwood hardwood in the living room. Any suggestions? Thanks!
    • All Granite and Marble 09:27AM, Aug 24 2009 Nicole: I would go with a light oak color.
  • Pat 08:21PM, Aug 12 2009 I have honey colored oak cabinets and tan brown granite countertops. We are thinking of a neutral pale tumbled marble tile backsplash. What color should I paint the walls in my breakfast room?
    • All Granite and Marble 02:15PM, Aug 13 2009 Pat: Something light, paint color is a personal decision.
  • Sam 06:29PM, Jul 28 2009 Okay, our kitchen and family room are in one open area. We chocolate maple cabinet with black appliances on a light brownish 12" ceramic tiles. Plan to do hardwood floor (something dark - dark brownish/red) in the living room along with dark furnitures with light cool color wall (light blue/green-seaside with a little bit of greyish undertone) perhaps with some rose/black color accessories. What wall color would look better for the kitchen? and backsplash? I'm thinking of something warm (beige? yellow/gold? or maybe white?)
    • All Granite and Marble 09:23AM, Jul 29 2009 Sam: Try Baltic Brown.
  • Lauren 11:44AM, Jul 22 2009 We are installing maple cabinets with a medium mocha stain. I had originally planned on a light granite such as NVG, but am having thoughts about Tan/Brown. The floors will be a neutral travertine tile. The kitchen has a bay window and gets good lighting. I would really appreciate your thoughts.
    • All Granite and Marble 12:08PM, Jul 22 2009 Lauren: It would be plenty of contrast, with good lightning like you mentioned I think it could work.
  • Jean 12:57PM, Jul 7 2009 I have Cherry Kraftmaid cabinets with a Sable glaze and Tigerwood hardwood floors. I am considering the Tan Brown granite for my countertop. Thoughts on the tan brown? Also, suggestions for wall paint color? Thanks.
    • All Granite and Marble 01:28PM, Jul 7 2009 Jean : Good choice. Rich and elegant. For paint, try a slightly reddish beige (something like that rodeo dust color up top).
  • Norma 07:53PM, Jun 10 2009 I have Honey oak cabinets with beige/brown six sided floor tiles, and are thinking Tan Brown granite countertops. what wall colors would you sugggest.
    • All Granite and Marble 10:19AM, Jun 11 2009 Norma: If you look to the left of the photos, you'll see the base colors that this stone consists of. I would try all of them to see which looks best.
  • Erin 07:44PM, Apr 6 2009 I have white cabinets and tan brown tiles for the counter-top with stainless steel appliances. I was wondering if you have a paint color suggestion so the counters do not look pink?
    • All Granite and Marble 09:04AM, Apr 7 2009 Erin: I played around with behr.com color picker and I came up with Expedition Khaki, Oakwood Brown, Gold Buttercup, Antique White Flat. Personally I am leaning towards the Khaki.
  • Daphne 10:26AM, Apr 1 2009 I have medium oak cabinets, how dark should I go? I was looking at Tan/Brown 426
    • All Granite and Marble 02:11PM, Apr 3 2009 Daphne: There is no limit, you could go completely black and it would look good. Tan Brown has a nice balance between the darkness and browns which accent the wood. I would say it's a good and safe pick.
  • tidwell 12:26PM, Mar 27 2009 I APOLOGIZE FOR THE NUMEROUS POSTS! AND THE WALLS WILL BE RED. (California Poppy)What color tile would look good in my kitchen with white wooden cabinets, black appliances and charcoal countertops?
    • All Granite and Marble 12:31PM, Apr 3 2009 tidwell: Ok, instead of the white and black tile, like I suggested before you can put some red in it also. Try looking at dark slate tiles. Usually they have grays, charcoal, red, and rusty colors which would go nice with your kitchen.
  • tidwell 12:24PM, Mar 27 2009 What color tile would look good in my kitchen with white wooden cabinets, black appliances and charcoal countertops?
    • All Granite and Marble 12:29PM, Apr 3 2009 tidwell: Go with a tile that will complement the tops but incorporate some lighter tones so you don't end up with a monotonic look. You could go with something along the lines of checkerboard.
  • Anji 10:46PM, Mar 26 2009 I've maple color cabinets and wooden floor w/ black color appliances. I like tan brown and amazon star color for my countertop. My kitchen lot of sunlight. Can you suggest me which color will look good for my countertop?
    • All Granite and Marble 12:18PM, Apr 3 2009 Anji: I would go with Tan Brown since it has far less red than amazon star. Also since the kitchen has a lot of light, you don't have to worry about the darkness of the stone. Make sure you pay attention to which Tan Brown you go with because some batches have light specs and others might have a deep brick-red color. Go with the darker one if possible.
  • Bobbie 07:32PM, Mar 11 2009 We are getting KraftMaid Abington Oak cabinets with the pegs in Honey Spice and have what is called Hattaras Red Sundown floor tile. It's shades of brown with a redish tint. The appliances are white and the sink will be stainless steel although I love the white farm style sink too to go with my country decorating. We're putting in a garden bay window above the sink (about 60" wide) so there will be lots of light. Do you think the Chestnut Tan Brown would look good with this combination?
    • All Granite and Marble 02:00PM, Mar 12 2009 Bobbie: Yes, I absolutely agree with you. Very nice country theme.
  • Adrienne 05:38PM, Mar 11 2009 By "more movement," do you mean something that has a more "flow" to the pattern, rather than this more spotted or speckled look? Do you have any suggestions?
    • All Granite and Marble 01:59PM, Mar 12 2009 Adrienne: Exactly. Take a look at ID 323, 236
  • Adrienne 09:40PM, Mar 3 2009 We are planning a "modern Tuscan" kitchen. We want natural cherry cabinets, and the floors will be some kind of terracotta. Medium yellow walls that flow into the dining and living room. We are thinking Tan Brown granite to tie in the red and yellow/gold theme. We have a very large bay window in the kitchen that gives a lot of light, so while this combination could be dark in some homes, it won't be in ours. Thoughts about Tan Brown and other possibilities are welcome!
    • All Granite and Marble 11:54AM, Mar 9 2009 Adrienne: Sounds like you have it all well thought out. I agree with the general direction you're going. The only suggestion I can make is to consider similarly colored stones but with more organic patterns (flowing).
  • LeAnn 04:40PM, Mar 3 2009 I have dark cabinets and a large island with Tropical Brown granite. We have formica on the other countertops and would like to replace with granite. We are afraid that doing all of the counters in Tropical Brown will be too dark. Any recommendations?
    • All Granite and Marble 11:48AM, Mar 9 2009 LeAnn: Pick something very light. Maybe Colonial Gold.
  • Lisa 09:26AM, Mar 3 2009 I have tan brown on my bathroom floor with dark cherry cabinets. Any suggestions for countertops?
    • All Granite and Marble 11:46AM, Mar 9 2009 Lisa: Why not contrast it with a very light marble? Crema Marfil maybe?
  • Jenn 10:47PM, Feb 23 2009 I am putting in Antique Brown brushed granite and can't decide on cabinet color. I like darker colors (definitely don't want a shade of white) but don't want to make the kitchen too dark (it does get a lot of light). Would a medium cherry work or should it be a lighter maple?
    • All Granite and Marble 01:59PM, Feb 27 2009 Jenn: The lighter the cabinets, the more contrast you will get. The more contrast you have, the sharper the kitchen. So it's a fine line of compromising your likes vs. what looks good to others. I think a medium cherry is good.
  • Linda 03:21PM, Feb 12 2009 Also, what color granite counter tops would be best to use with Kraftmaid canvas with cocoa glaze cabinets.
    • All Granite and Marble 05:16PM, Jan 13 2010 Linda W.: You want to compliment the floor, try Tabacco.
  • Linda 03:06PM, Feb 12 2009 What color ceramic tile goes with Canvas color with cocoa glaze cabinets
    • All Granite and Marble 09:27AM, Feb 13 2009 Linda: As far as granite goes, you can pretty much use any color that's similar to the cocoa glaze. It will have plenty of contrast and should be a good match. Tan Brown is one of you options. For the tile, I'd recommend a slightly textured color such as Everest Bianco.
  • KB 09:35PM, Feb 10 2009 Can you suggest a granite backsplash for a tan brown countertop
    • All Granite and Marble 09:08AM, Feb 11 2009 KB: Use some of the "tan" in the granite and see if you can match it to a backsplash tile (maybe travertine).
  • lols 04:41PM, Feb 5 2009 I have Honey Oak with golden Pecan kind of stain cabinets and black appliances.Flooring is light in colour(tiles).Will Tan Brown look good with these combinations?
    • All Granite and Marble 08:34AM, Feb 6 2009 lols: Yes, that should be a nice match. Enough contrast and nice tonal range.
  • Shelley 06:58PM, Jan 7 2009 No, we are not limited - any suggestions?
    • All Granite and Marble 03:33PM, Jan 9 2009 Shelley: Try Champagne Florencia and Crema Bordeaux and let me know if you like it.
  • Shelley 08:02PM, Jan 6 2009 I have light cherry cabinets, ceramic tile floor with warm variations of gold and brown in it. Our wall color is is a warm tuscan yellow/gold with a accent wall in a tuscan rust color, all stainless appliances. Large kitchen with lots of light. Please help with granite color ideas. We like black galaxy and tan brown, maybe uba tuba, but I thought it would be too green?
    • All Granite and Marble 09:34AM, Jan 7 2009 Shelley: You're right, Uba Tuba is not so great there. Are you limited to only the colors that you mentioned?
  • Marcia 05:06PM, Jan 4 2009 I have tan brown granite on the countertops and floor in my bathroom. What color should I paint the walls?
    • All Granite and Marble 08:36AM, Jan 5 2009 Marcia: I would try to match the lightest color found in the stone itself.
  • cheryl 05:01PM, Dec 31 2008 we have oak cabinets and off white tile floors,black appliances,which color of granite would lood best. also plan to repaint, which color would look good?
    • All Granite and Marble 09:45AM, Jan 3 2009 cheryl: Tan Brown is a good choice.
  • Mak 06:16PM, Dec 23 2008 Will this be a good color for maple congnac cabnits, and honed travertine floors ( a light red/pink color)??
    • All Granite and Marble 08:26AM, Dec 24 2008 Mak: Yes, this is good.
  • Jill 08:17PM, Nov 25 2008 We are installing cherry cabinets with a honey spice finish. What would be a good granite to go with the cabinets?
    • All Granite and Marble 08:57AM, Nov 26 2008 Jill: Tan Brown would be ok. The question is how much light you have in the kitchen and how big the room is.
  • Gail 12:57PM, Nov 20 2008 I have white cabinets, white appliances, ss sink and faucet,beige walls and medium oak floor. Which is better, tan brown or ubba tubba or absolute black. I'm looking for the wow factor that has a timeless look.
    • All Granite and Marble 09:01AM, Nov 24 2008 Gail: Well, absolute black and uba tuba will give you the most contrast. Probably more than its needed. I think Tan Brown is the best option here. It will let you change the color scheme later down the road if you ever decide to do so.
  • Jandy 01:42PM, Sep 28 2008 Granite suggestions please: fawn colored maple slab cabinets, red oak flooring (can be stained any color,SS appliances.
    • All Granite and Marble 11:45AM, Sep 30 2008 Jandy: You're heading in the right direction. Another option would be Saphire Blue.
  • Valerie 01:30PM, Sep 21 2008 Please list some colors for me to study for medium oak cabinets, metal beige tile and black appliances. It gets east light from a bay in the breakfast area. I like warm rooms with contrast but not dark or gloomy. Thanks
    • All Granite and Marble 11:46AM, Sep 26 2008 Valerie: Tan brown is certainly an option here. Also check out Giallo Fiorito, Firenza.
  • Rose 10:02PM, Sep 17 2008 I have reddishbrown cabinets & like tanbrown granite with light floors. What would be good wall color? Rose
    • All Granite and Marble 05:49PM, Sep 25 2008 Rose: Coincidence or not – pale rose might work well here :)

    • All Granite and Marble 05:28PM, Sep 25 2008 Wendy: reddish gold perhaps?
  • riki 09:59PM, Sep 8 2008 Can't decide! I have natural maple cabinets that have a yellow tint, natural colored hardwood floors and would like to do a tumbled marble backsplash. I'm looking for the "wow" factor. I like uba tuba for the drama, am I better off going with something like tan brown? Any suggestions? Thanks!
    • All Granite and Marble 05:24PM, Sep 25 2008 riki: Almost equal drama between these two. Try Platinum Bahia as well.

  • Hohn 09:28AM, Jul 1 2008 We're having cherry spice cabinets put in our kitchen. Would Baltic Brown or Tan Brown for the counters look better? The kitchen is large and has alot of light.
    • All Granite and Marble 05:27PM, Jul 17 2008 Hohn: That depends on the actual tone of the wood itself. Pick the one that creates more contrast.
  • All Granite and Marble 11:41AM, Jun 6 2008 Cheri:
  • Patti 07:10PM, Jun 3 2008 Considering this tan brown granite. I have hickory cabinets and light oak flooring. Suggestions on color for wall tile for backsplash and appliances?

  • Kim 03:50PM, May 3 2008 We haven't decided whether we going with tile or wood. We're open to suggestions. Original message: We chose sorrel maple cabinets with tan brown granite counters...now the floors...thoughts?
    • All Granite and Marble 12:45PM, Jun 5 2008 Kim: Tile is by far more practical in a kitchen setting. As far as looks, it's all up to you.
  • Mikki 05:29PM, May 2 2008 I have maple cabinets with a light cherry stain and a light-medium cherry stained hardwood floor with orange red accents. I would like to get tan brown or tropical brown for the counters. Which one will make a greater impact?
    • All Granite and Marble 12:43PM, Jun 5 2008 Mikki: Tan Brown is overall a bit darker and should provide more contrast.
  • linda 05:26PM, Apr 30 2008 I have medium oak cabinets, light medium oak floors, big kitchen with 9', ss appliance, confused on what granite to select.
    • All Granite and Marble 01:17PM, May 30 2008 linda: This would work.

    • All Granite and Marble 02:08PM, Apr 21 2008 Joy: Your choices seem like a very good match. A little bit on the toned down side, but still plenty of contrast for it to work.
  • JOY 02:26PM, Apr 14 2008 Iam installing Saddle Aristrokraft cabinets and walnut colour floors. Will tan brown garnite go with my cabinets or should go for lighter cabinets?

  • Jen 01:58PM, Apr 10 2008 I really like a slab of Tan Brown I saw with hints of red specks throughout. I have Oak Cherry floors that will blend well with the Tan Brown and have a Honey Spiced-colored cabinets w/ stainless steel appliances. I have decent lighting in my kitchen and will have lighter shade paint. Is tan brown a good option?

  • Johnny 11:23AM, Apr 9 2008 Hi, I have honey oak cabinets with a cherry oak floors. I was thinking Tab Brown would match well with the floors. Would you suggest Tan Brown?

  • Teri 08:08AM, Apr 2 2008 We are going to have maple cordovan (fairly dark) cabiniets. Light tan ceramic tile w/light smoked grout. Cream backsplash w/small accent to match counter. I would like to use tan brown counter tops. What color appliances should I go with. Not real big on stainless. Would you suggest different counter top?
    • All Granite and Marble 10:26AM, Apr 5 2008 Teri: You could use black appliances. They will match the tops and blend into the cabinets nicely.
  • Pam 07:03PM, Mar 23 2008 We have ordered "canvas" colored Maple cabinets, (It's a creamy color) from Home Depot, we have red oak hardwood floors and we are trying to choose the best granite for this combo. I like Giallo Veneziano, any suggestions?
    • All Granite and Marble 05:48PM, Apr 4 2008 Pam: Well you are definitely on the right track with Tan Brown. Both will work though.
  • All Granite and Marble 10:02AM, Mar 11 2008 Joseph:

  • Tim 11:24AM, Mar 6 2008 We'll be installing Cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances with a lighter color wood floor. We are deciding between Tan Brown and Giallo Veneziano. Which would you suggest between the two?
    • All Granite and Marble 06:40PM, Mar 6 2008 Tim: Both are excellent choices. If you have a well lit kitchen, go for tan brown.
  • Anne 04:34PM, Feb 17 2008 We will be installing mission style kitchen cabinets in natural cherry. Thinking of Tan brown, Ibere creme Bordeau or Verde bamboo (being a little bold) the floors are quarter saw white oak in natural. Comments? Approx. 65sq.ft. gramite counter and island
    • All Granite and Marble 11:08AM, Feb 21 2008 Anne: All of the stones will work. Funny you listed them from the least expensive to the most.
  • Greg 08:09PM, Jan 24 2008 Natural Oak Cabinets, Natural Oak Hardwood floors, white appliances, and terra cotta pot walls. Looking at the options of tan brown, black galaxy, or impala black. Which of these would you recommend (or any others?)?
    • All Granite and Marble 09:38AM, Jan 30 2008 Greg: Definitely the Tan Brown will tie it all together.
  • Julie 01:11PM, Jan 19 2008 I have white cabinets w/lt brown glaze, chocolate brown walls and medium/dark brown chestnut floors. Should I go with dark like Tan Brown or something lighter like a Venetian Gold type look?
    • All Granite and Marble 09:48AM, Jan 22 2008 Julie: I would break it up with a lighter color, such as Venetian Gold. Seems like a dark kitchen already.
  • Marci 05:50PM, Jan 4 2008 I have honey oak cabinets and Terra Cotta adobe-style tile floor. Both are fairly medium tones. Would Tan Brown be a good compliment with the richness and interest I'm going for?
    • All Granite and Marble 08:44AM, Jan 8 2008 Marci: In short - yes.
  • Yasmin 09:29PM, Dec 30 2007 I have spice colored cabinets and really love the tan brown. Would this combination look good and provide the elegance I am looking to achieve?
    • All Granite and Marble 12:19PM, Jan 3 2008 Yasmin: Absolutely! The dark background in this stone will provide excellent contrast, while the tan will tie the stone together with the cabinetry.
  • Victoria 07:43PM, Dec 19 2007 I have very dark oak cabinets in (kaffee color) with light premium travertine on floor and lite travertine on back splash need help with granite color that will look good in our new kitchen.
    • All Granite and Marble 10:50AM, Dec 22 2007 Victoria: If you have really dark cabinets, then choose a medium to light color for the tops. Tan brown is quite dark and will make the kitchen look uninteresting and gloomy. Try Giallo Vincenza, Firenza, Veneziano if you like this look.
  • Carol C 09:46AM, Nov 20 2007 I have tap wood cabins, light tan color floor and white appliances. Would tan brown work?
    • All Granite and Marble 09:45AM, Nov 21 2007 Carol C: Yes. It should provide the much needed contrast.
  • Joy 12:46AM, Oct 10 2007 We'll be installing Maple cabinets in Kona stain. Will Tan Brown look good with this and Black appliances?
    • All Granite and Marble 10:39AM, Oct 15 2007 Joy: Sure, that's one option. Might wanna look at Baltic Brown as well.
  • Michelle 10:55AM, Aug 8 2007 I have white cabinets and a light golden brown hardwoods. We were looking at either Tan Brown or Tropical Brown for counters. Will either of these work or do you have another suggestion?
    • All Granite and Marble 11:39AM, Aug 11 2007 Michelle: Both will be good.
