Granite Color Choice; Matching With Earth Tones
We are in the process of choosing the right color choice. We live in the country on a lake and our colors are earth tones. Our kitchen cabinets are soft olive green with a brazilian chery hardwood floor. We have a large window in the kitchen for natural light. I tend to go with the ubatuba color as it goes so well with the golds, greens and tan colors. My husbands concern is that it may be too dark. The granite places we have been to are also telling us that ubatuba is a good color choice with what we have. This is our first experience with granite as we have laminate that needs updated and were going to put laminate or corian in our kitchen. But when we looked at granite we were impressed and there is really no comparison to the other products. Thank you for your time. Please advise us on your opinion with our color choice. — Debbie
Hello Debbie,
Color is such a personal thing. I can tell you that Ubatuba, when properly hand selected, is stunning with stainless steel fixtures. I would not use it unless you choose stainless. Given your earthy environment, if you can handle a little more higher maintenance stone, then I would look at two stones from India, called Rainforest Green and Rainforest Brown. You can see both on www.GraniteStock.com. There is also a beautiful example of an installed Rainforest Green Kitchen on the Showroom Page of www.HomeGranite.com.
