Wish I would have found it before I bought my granite. I have kinda dark cherry cabinets (Medallion with Chestnut stain). I ended up with Verde Butterfly granite. I wanted dark but there is something in the color that just doesn't seem to match to me. Wish I would have stayed with Black and Silver like I originally was going to. O well. Sorry my question is really with support. I have an 18" overhang 56 inches long. On one side I have an 11" x 11" x 2 1/4 corbel. On the other side I had a 2" x 12" x 3/4" cleat screwed to the wall. The measuring guy said that was okay. Since then, I noticed that the cleat didn't look real nice when sitting at the dinner table. I thought it would be hidden but didn't think of seeing it while sitting at the table. So I tore out the cleat (it was not glued or anything to the granite) and replaced it with another 11" x 11" x 2 1/4" corbel. Is this enough support? Thanks! Hi, I just found your site and I love it.

Our cabinets are a honey oak and we would like to use granite on our countertops. We are not sure if we want to go a light color or dark color granite. We will be selecting stainless steel appliances and our flooring is taupe color 12X12 tiles and will be painting our walls a light beige color. We are interesting in the brown/black/beige colors. Can you make some suggestions as to granite that might compliment our cabinets/color scheme.
