Ubatuba is a very popular granite from Brazil. A dark green stone with many slight variations between slabs, it is made up of a consistent speckling of gold, brown, and/or green colors.
I am looking at this granite color. I have white cabinets with a light "sand" colored tile. What are your thoughts on the color combination?

We have hickory cabinets and hard wood oak floors. My husband wants granite with some greens. While I don't mind a little green, I'm hoping for something with more golds/browns..ie. neutral. Suggestions?

Sue : A darker counter would look gorgeous against your hickory wood and create a elegant contrast. I suggest Butterfly Antique. For more browns, Tropical Brown or Tan Brown is appropriate. Good luck!

I have cherry cabinets with charcoal glaze but the center isle is painted off white. Would Ubatuba work on the isle, looking for something to set of the glazing. Cherry Cabinets looking for a white/off white counter top. Would you have both in stock? Total sf 65

Mariah K: We have Ubatuba in-stock at all of our locations, and many varieties. It would look gorgeous with your set-up. Another option might be Butterfly Antique.

I also have white walls. do you think using same granite Ubatula as back splash will be good, or do you recogmend I go with another granite back splash? I love the tiles but I am limited in skills and cost/time restraint and complixity involved in doing it. What do you advice? Thank you. Sung

sung smith: I think it wouldn't be too busy if you do a full granite backsplash out of the Ubatuba if using porcelain or ceramic tile is not an option. It would be a very sleek and elegant design.

I have white painted cabinet and medium brown speckled linolium and black and one beize applience. I see there are differenent Ubatubas here. Will it work together. I am thinking of counter with a large island, in medium size kitchen opened up to dining room. Will it be too cold looking? I like warmth and not too busy business and yet look great and comfortable. s

sung smith: Ubatuba would look excellent, for something warmer try Tropical Brown.

I have honey oak cabinets. Saw a sample of something called Verde Uba Tuba (had some gold flecks in it). Would this go with these cabinets. Also, would appreciate any ideas for flooring and backsplash. Thank you.

Susan: Ubatuba looks great with honey oak. Sleek design with excellent contrast. For flooring, for tile I recommend using travertine.

Any other colors would work well with the cabinets/floor and are good for a full backsplash and countertop? Thanks!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 12:49PM, Feb 25 2010.
Li: Some more suggestions would be: Dakota Brown, Tropical Brown, Giallo Fiorito.

Thanks a lot for your recommendation! I would like to use a full backsplash of the same granite. Which color is better? Thanks!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 12:02PM, Feb 25 2010.
Li: Tan Brown. Bordeaux might be too busy of a pattern for a full backsplash.

I have maple cabinets and red oak floor. I have white appliances now and will gradually change them to stainless steel. What colors of granite do you recommend? Thanks!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:33AM, Feb 25 2010.
Li: Try Tan Brown, or Crema Bordeaux for a more dramatic pattern.

This is a pretty stone, the gold seems to work well with my maple honey cabinets but for a few years more ... white appliances. Do you think that is too much of a contrast with the white appliances.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:14PM, Nov 6 2009.
Pattie: I don't think so.

Would it be better to do dark vs light countertops?
Use undercabinet lighting most of the time.
Thanks much for your help.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:27AM, Oct 5 2009.
Judy: With your cabinets a dark countertop will look more classy and warm, a light color will brighten up your area though.

No natural light in kitchen. Cabinets are golden oak and new island is cream with chocolate glaze. Really like Ubatuba #761 but afraid it may be too dark. Kitchen open to dinning/living room area. Also like some St. Cecilia and Giallo Ornamental (might be too light) - suggestions please.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 02:41PM, Oct 3 2009.
Judy: Also consider Butterfly. It's a little lighter than Ubatuba.
