Tracey: Indeed a gray subway tile would be a cleaner choice, try "Heather Gray" as the color. |

Hi there. We have white cabinets and are interested in installing Blue Volga counter tops. We are having trouble deciding on back splash. Interested in mosaic glass tile, but is that too "busy" for the blue volga? Should we go with a more subtle ceramic gray tile? If mosaic tile, thoughts on color combinations? Trying to go for a modern, italian kitchen look... Thanks@! |

I need a cut slab 51" x 31.5" and I am pretty sure I have Blue Pearl and not Blue Pearl GT. The slab will not be right up against the existing one[s] if I'm wrong will there be a huge difference? |

Thanks for the clarification, I was told the GT has more blue, which is what I am looking for, and also more expensive. I will change to Blue Pearl. Thanks! |

Laura: Blue Pearl looks beautiful with a darker cherry, very sleek. But if you want to use light cabinets, a yellowish oak also looks good. |

We're building a new home and we were in your showroom yesterday and I fell in love with the blue pearl for our counters and island. I was planning to go with maple cabinets, a honey color, but I just don't think the blue pearl compliments it. I don't really want white cabinets. What color scheme for cabinets and backsplash would you suggest? The builder's choices for backsplash are beige, beige or beige! We will have tons of windows with southern exposure so the kitchen will be very bright. |

Becca: Tile will tie-in the Blue Pearl better, perhaps a tumbled marble with inserts of stainless steel and blue pearl itself. I'd go with all brown furniture, no need to mix them. |

I'm building a new house and have a very open first floor. i want to do blue pearl countertops and breakfast bar, stainless appliances and white beadboard paneled cabinets. should i do a backsplash or just have the blue pearl come about 4 inches onto the wall and paint an accent color behind? also, do i need to choose either black or brown for furniture, or can i mix them? would silver and grey be too cool of accents, or would it look nice? |

No, we love the blue pearl. We are only replacing wood floors in the kitchen with porcelain tile due to water damage and need advice on tile color. Kitchen is open to family room with oak flooring, so tile will butt up against that. |

I want to install blue pearl counter tops in my kitchen with new shaker birch light colored cabinets. I thought I\\\'d use some medium red-tan porcelain tiles for the floor and drk gray-black slate tile for the backlash. Do you think those colors would clash (the walls are off white).
Thanks,

Looking for flooring ideas: I have a small master bathroom (30sqft of floor). I have Carrara Marble in the shower, Blue Pearl on the vanity, white sink, white toilet, half way up the wall is 60's style white 4"x4" w/tiny blue, grey and navy specks (hardly noticable). Want to paint the walls a midlevel blue grey, what tile or color should I put in for the flooring?
I have samples of a Silver Grey Quartz but not sure if it's too similar to the Blue Pearl. Or a black slate? |

Rennovating our masterbath. Our cabinetry is vanilla with a pewter glaze. We picked Blue Pearl for the vanity top and Silver travertine tile for the floor and bottom half of the walls. The upper half will be painted in a Silvery light blue. What color tile would you suggest in the shower? The same Silver travertine? Also, for the showerhead/faucets I was thinking of either an aged pewter or brushed nickel. What are your thoughts? |

In small bathroom we installed multi-colored slate on the floor and blue pearl granite vanity. Tub and toilet are white, with antique white tile in the tub surround. We like deep, rich color for the wall but don't want too much blue in the bathroom, is there a complimetary color for the granite and slate that will make them pop without being in the blue family? What deep,rich color would you suggest? |

I fell in love with pearl blue granite; I have honey maple cabinets and white appliances; light oak floors. Back wall is pretty very light tan/gold tile. Sample looks really nice but I'm unsure to make the commitment. Selling house in 2 years so I want to be sure it will have appeal to prospective buyers. |

We're going to go with the Blue Pearl. The guy doing our kitchen has suggested a white deckle square backsplash, mostly on the 45 (except maybe the top row sqaure) with small double row of hand-painted blue little medallions by Pratt & Larson for interest (maybe even set off with pencil line). Any thoughts on the white backsplash with white cabinets? Will the deckle give enough depth / interest? Any other suggestions? And what about wall color?
Thanks so much--you have a very helpful site! |

All Granite and Marble - Moderator | Date: 2009-10-12 09:11:07 |
Steve: Blue Pearl looks very crisp with light cabinets, the Platino will make the kitchen boring and too salt-n-pepper, while Super White will be too light, go with the Pearl if you can afford it. |

We're getting new countertops for our kitchen. We have white Merillat cabinets that look new, wood floor. We're tearing down a wall between kitchen and dining area, both of which are relatively small (10 x 10 or so), and we're adding a peninsula between them. The kitchen / dining room face north, but get good light through the day.
We're trying to decide between Super White, Azul Platino, and Blue Pearl granite. Any comments about the different feels we'd get with those three choices? We'd like a something that looks sort of snappy and fresh, if that makes sense, although part of our problem is that we don't really know exactly what we're going for.
Thanks! |

What do you think of dark/black sleek modern cabinets with blue pearl granite and a gray tile backsplash? |
|
All Granite and Marble - Moderator | Date: 2009-09-04 13:54:28 |
Kendra: My mistake, in your earlier post I thought you were asking about wall paint not cabinet color, definitely do not do a blue cabinet color, a light blue wall paint is what you need. Cabinets should be hardwood white if you like light or even cherry. Light colored Subway tile for backsplash and hardwood floors. |

Alex: Granite is granite, it is one of hardest natural stones. Our granite is polished and sealed therefore it is resistant to stains with normal usage. |
|

One salesman told me that blue pearl is much dencer grinite and more resistent tostains vs blue valley stone.
Is it correct? |
|
All Granite and Marble - Moderator | Date: 2009-07-15 09:30:21 |
Alex: Blue pearl consists of metallic, very shiny speckling while the valley blue has veining, it is simply a matter of preference, both are beautiful stones. |

Ellen: Well, it really depends on what YOU like. For most people, kitchen is a room that centralizes the family. It is associated with warmth. That's why you'll see the majority of kitchen designs using warm colors. But that shouldn't stop you. Blue Pearl is a beautiful stone and I think you can have a very elegant kitchen. |

We are thinking about master bath using Blue Pearl countertop with Kohler Vapour Blue sinks. Can't figure out what the rest of the room should look like so that it doesn't take away from the beauty of these 2 major items. Any ideas re:vanity, tile surround, flooring? |

We are ordering the Blue Pear countertop - what would be a nice match for the island if we went with a different color? Thanks! |

We are getting blue pearl counter tops and island top. I had no idea how hard it is to find a backspash to go with the granite. We'sre looking a white ceramic tile and then doing some light blue accent tiles, but I am waiting until the granite is installed. |

This a beautiful granite, would to go well with natural Maple cabinets that have aged to a golden color? |

Joseph: It will depend on how red the cherry is. The less red, the better. For the backsplash, you can do nice ceramic or porcelain tile. |

Would Blue Pearl GT go with Honey Spice Cherry cabinets? We want to do a nice backsplash that is easily cleanable also, what is a good recommendation? |

Kathy: That's hard to say. It might accent the yellow a bit. I think it's not to an extent you should worry about. |

Will the Blue Pearl bring out more yellow/orange from the oak or help to tone it down. I have a sample and it looks great with the antique red brick. I like the look with the cabinets, but just want to insure that it doesn't make the cabinets look more orangey/yellow.. |

Kathy: It will be great with the cabinets, not sure about the brick though. If it's just one wall, it should be ok. |

Would Blue Pearl GT go with yellowish oak cabinets (autumn gold stain)? I also have a wall in the kitchen with Chicago Brick, would that go with the Blue Pearl GT ? If not, what colors would you recommend ? |

I can't tell from the pics - are there reflective pieces in the stone that sparkle when the light hits them? |

We using 2"x2" slate. The color is called Gobi, which has blue/gray tiles, some with like a rust on them. The manufacture is Rush River/Stone Studios. We think it looks great with the Blue Pearl granite counters. |

Jan Wolf: It would be extremely hard to pull this off. The two stones (tiles and tops) are usually cut from different part of the rock. That's if they come from the same quarry. And chances of that are minimal. They will look "off". Like you tried to match them, but didn't really succeed. |

How does blue pearl countertops look with 12" blue pearl tiles in diagonal pattern as backsplash? |

Todd: Slate will look pretty good with this. |

What backsplash would go nice with blue pearl countertops and a darker cherry cabinets? |
|
All Granite and Marble - Moderator | Date: 2007-10-25 08:14:52 |
Mike Callas: A light slate tile might be a nice addition. If you want to go into warmer tones, then you could do a travertine tile. |

we have blue pearl countertops white cabinets and white appliances what backsplash would look nice? |

David: If you're concerned about the cleaning, then definitely go with ceramic tile. Unfortunately we have no pictures of Blue Pearl in a kitchen. |

Tubmled marble or travertine are hard to clean, particularly near the cooktop area, aren't they?
Do you have a picture of blue pearl countertop to show us? |
|
All Granite and Marble - Moderator | Date: 2007-07-17 16:36:25 |
gsd: I would use the same blue pearl on the backsplash or do tiles on the backsplash. Tumbled marble or travertine would look nice if you want to bring some lighter accents. |

If you had blue pearl countertops what granite would look nice as a backsplash. I have natural oak cabinets and black appliances. |
