I have a galley kitchen w/ white cabinets & would very much like to have uba tuba but am finding it extremely difficult to find a backsplash and floor that compliments the uba tuba. Currently I have white 4\" polished tiles as a back splash. Any suggestions you can give would be extremely helpful.

Wendy: It could work. The key thing in that scenario would be selecting the proper version of uba tuba. They come in all shades of green and black. I would get one that has no white spots in it.

Janis: It should go well with pale tumbled marble or travertine. The difference in textures will enhance the colors.

I have medium hickory cabinets and hardwood floors. I really love the Santa Cecelia granite and plan on having it installed on the 'perimeter'. However, I'd like to do my island in an opposite/coordinating granite. I was thinking uba tuba could work. Do you have any suggestions?

Looking at uba tuba for counters. lower cabinets are green(sage) and uppers are white. Wanted some black, tops, not a lot of green. Do you think that uba tuba would be too much green. I also have green walls. I am also installing glass mosaic tiles with a honey blend (greens, honey, & white) Any other suggestions for the counter top color?

Cori: Well you are concerned about the right thing :) The green in the countertops and the red/orange of the floors might clash quite badly. I'd suggest something like the Platinum Bahia if you are set on a dark color.

audrey: That is right Audrey. Black galaxy, even though it is very easy to clean, will require cleaning very often. Because of its nearly flat black surface, it will show dirt a lot more than stones with a more varied pattern.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2008-04-05 10:35:05

audrey: To some degree yes. Emerald Pearl is a dark green with blue highlights. It looks very dark, almost black. I think that even though you might not be able to put red accents in the room, you certainly are not limited to use warm yellows, and even some blues. So my choice is Emerald Pearl. Also, Black Galaxy is a nightmare to keep clean. It shows dirt a lot.

I have medium cherry cabinets with a coffee glaze. I like the look of dark granite because I want an interesting mosaic back splash. Floor is oak. I keep coming back to uba tuba. My accents in the kitchen are colorful, so it seems like dark granite would be a nice back drop. overhead can lights, undercabinet lights, and pendant lighting.

Date: 2008-03-11 23:43:20

I like this photo, but wasn't sure how the low lighting and full granite backsplash would affect the look. I was also wondering how the pastels in the wall paper would work with the granite. Thanks again.

Would uba tuba counter & backsplash go with warm-white painted cabinets ? (floor tile is warm white. wall paper backround is warm white with pastel (peach, green, yellow, pink) fruit baskets). Kitchen has a northern exposure. Thanks.

I have a breakfast bar - against a stud wall, which has four cupboards at one side to support the weight of the granite - but the other side is open around 4ft with two s/s legs to support it. Can i put a long slab of granite along this wall with two legs supporting the open space? would there be problems being against a stud wall? Thank you.

Thanks for the granite green colors; if I don't want to be stuck with a green kitchen (see previous entry on my kitchen description) What color granite will give me flexibility to match the green but be able to chnage my kitchen color?

I have new Kraftmaid kitchen cabinets in maple in the honey spice color. I like the Rosewood granite--would that be a good choice for a countertop. Or should I go with something more dramatic like a green shade. I want something I won't get tired of and that has the natural pattern in it and maybe several colors that I could use to accent.

We are looking for a granite color to match our golden oak floor, maple cabinets in a light to medium stain, and tan tiled backsplash. I feel that a black color with a splash of gold would be best. We really liked peacock gold but the new shipments have too much green. Can you suggest a color we should try?

Take a look at our galleries of completed project to get some ideas about color schemes, look through a video section for more inspirations and play with our 2D showroom tools to try out your different color schemes and idea and then use our stone selector tool to look for the right combinetion of grnaite colors with the cabinets.

I am getting the uba tuba granite installed. I was wondering if you think a black granite (color is called slate I believe) undermount sink would look okay or if I should go with stainless steel?

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Try Costa Esmeralda or Verde Sequoia.

I love this style, not too much of the marble effect which I don't like. Do you have something similar with more beige and brown tones - possibly a bit lighter? Cabinets are oak - well lit kitchen, hardwood floors - lighter color. Rest of house has brown tones

Date: 2007-01-16 14:33:15

I think I understand now. I brought home a sample which the quarry person told me was uba tuba green (or "verde"). It looks mostly black which is fine with me. I was worried that my eyes were deceiving me. I guess the bottom line is not what it's called but how it looks to me, right? Thanks!

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2007-01-16 12:29:21

Susan: Uba Tuba has many variations depending on which quarry it came from. We don't usually assign any specific names to these though. All of them will have varying degrees of black and green.

Is the Uba Tuba shown here verde? I have a sample of uba verde which looks more black than green but I wonder if there is such a thing as straight black uba tuba. I like what's shown in this photo very much. thanks.

Pam, cast iron will need extensive support. It cannot be installed by just anchoring it to the granite like you would with a stainless steel sink. So I'm leaning towards stainless steel as well.

Name: Pam

Date: 2006-10-24 20:36:59

I have oak cabinets and are planning on getting the Uba Tuba counters. Would you suggest having a black cast iron sink or satin finish stainless steal sink with it? I'm leading towards the stainless steal fixtures with the gold tones. Thanks!
