Jennifer: So far so good. For the paint, I would probably choose a nice warm green pastel if you want to stick to green. If not, a warm yellowish hue will work also.

We are redoing our small square kitchen in a 60 year old colonial home. I have chosen maple spice cabinets and I am thinking about Ubatuba Granite with a light warm green 12 inch tile floor. What do you think of that combo and do you have a paint color suggestion (we don't have a backsplash).

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Christine : I'd try to pick up on the tone and go with medium reds, such as Bordeaux. Alternatively, try Tobacco for more contrast.

Jen: Honed black is definitely an option, you should however keep in mind that it is very tedious to keep clean. If considering golds, go for the darker ones. Light ones will blend with the cabinets too much.

efi: If you have enough light, then you should be fine. Keep in mind though, that there will be only a mild amount of contrast between the cabinets and the tops, which could make the kitchen more calm. If that's what you're going for, then you're on the right path.

Lynn: You have a lot of options. if you want the granite to stand out you should look into granite with intense pattern. Lots of movement and vaining will create very interesting visual treat for the eye. In terms of color it depends really. You may go with something lighter creamy on the floor and then something lighter and warm on the countertop. Maybe something with a gold, yellow backgorund and hint own brownish specles complemeting toffee stain on your cabinets?

I have honey colored cabinets, medium colored wood, with peach colored wall what color granite will compliment all the colors. I currently have black Formica countertop. Do you think I should stay with dark colors.

If the cabinets are white, which color should we choose for the countertop ? the kitchen size is 12x16. The light color ( like white ) will make the kitchen look big.

I have Cherry cabinets and stainless appliances. We are planning to put granite floor tiles. What granite countertop and floor tiles would you recomend? Do you think matching blue pear for both contertop and floor will work? Or should we choose Creama Brodeux?

Well, the cabinets are light. The floor is medium. I don't see why you couldn't use a medium, even a medium-dark stone.

Denicey, try a lighter color.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2007-06-15 17:40:50

Probably not Rhonda. They would get too close tone and color wise.

Would the darker bordeaux look good with a dark cherry cabinet?

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2007-06-04 09:05:50

It's very subjective. To some it might be too red, other's will think it's just ok.

No appointments are needed, but be prepared that on saturday you might have to wait a few minutes before a sales rep will be able to assist you. It gets very very busy. Bordeaux is #56, 57, 58, 59, and 60.

Thank you so much for a possible costly mistake, I just don\'t like black on cherry so may change island to white. Saw in kitchen showroom, Juperana Bordeaux-do you have and what # color is it. Do you need appt for Sats.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2007-05-23 17:02:30

The same black. There are already 2 very strong colors there. It will be hard to add another one.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2007-05-23 16:56:59

Try Juparana Golden Vyara (which is really more beige/sandy rather than gold) or maybe Golden Beach if you're more into golds.

Medalion Morel Heirloom (white with antiquing) cabs, cherry harvest island. Walnut floor. Absolute black counter. Suggest for island top? 4' X 6'slab.

Yes,My cherry cabinets are reddish, but not too dark. What is your susgestion for the granite color? I like something not too busy, smooth, and soft wave. Thank you very much!

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2007-05-23 10:17:32

Gina: That depends on the cabinets themselves. If they are more red than brown, then I'd go with something different.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2007-05-23 10:14:22

Robyn: Bordeaux is definitely a good choice then.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Anne: I'd probably stick to the tile. It's way more practical and if you lay it out nice, it will add to the kitchen.

I have cherry bordeaux cabinets with creamy bordeaux light granite-would ceramic tile or light oak floors look aesthetically better (since i have light oak around the other rooms in my house).Thanks so much!!

Of course, we have light and dark Bordeaux and I think the darker one will look sharper.

Blue Pearl would be a complimentary color to the cabinets, while matching the stainless steel appliances.

Paula: Bordeaux will usually have a bit of both orange and pink. Why not try something completly different?

Name: Paula

Date: 2007-01-28 13:49:13

Would Bordeaux look good with a medium stained maple that has a lot of orange in it, stainless appliances & pale tan ceramic floor tile? Or is the coloring of the Bordeaux more pinky than orangy? Any other granite ideas? Having trouble finding something that goes with this medium wood shade. Thanks.

What is the best way to determine what would look good with maple cabinets and white appliances?

Name: Chris

Date: 2006-11-26 00:23:15

I saw a slab that was called Juparana Forence that the sales person said was the same as Juparana Bourdox. So maybe it is the same that Lauren heard, the Juparana Florenza Red? This is one of my narrowed down choices.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2006-10-30 08:56:45

Yes. This is Bordeaux.

Date: 2006-10-28 15:41:15

could this be the same or very similar to Junapana Bordeaux?

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2006-10-16 08:24:19

This Bordeaux is just the regular version.

what type of bordeaux is this?

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2006-10-11 14:58:26

That is not a typical combination. Because the cabinets and the countertops would be very similar, you would loose the contrast between them, and that doesn't look well.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2006-10-11 11:58:14

We didn't hear that name yet... But who knows! See, different fabricators will call the same stone different names to make it seem "unique" to their inventory. We go by the original names.

could this also be called Juparana Florenza Red?

Crema Bordeaux is more smooth in it's pattern, and has less of the spots.

What is difference in this and Crema Bordeaux?
