A granite color to replace Indian Slate?
Hi Tom,
I read several of your replies to others. They were helpful but I am still stumped about my particular situation. I have an older home with wood paneling in the kitchen. I am in the process of painting the paneling a light green and the cabinets white. My appliances are black and my floor is natural Indian Slate. I love the natural stone color variation and that is why I chose the slate but given the chance again I would save it for an outdoor floor. It is VERY hard to maintain, especially with doggy accidents and although by itself it is very beautiful, it is also very dark. I am totally undecided on what color granite I should use for my counters. I thought maybe I might do an Absolute or Galaxy Black but I worry about it being too dark and then I wonder if a Kashmir White would be too light. I love other colors but the worry there is that it might be too busy if I didn’t do anything but those neutrals with that slate floor. Any advice on what color to go with? — Christine
Hello Christine,
Actually, I do have a perfect color suggestion. You might have a hard time finding this granite near you but it is granite from Brazil called Caramelo. Get a sample and you will find it is perfect. I recently renovated a home with this combination and it was absolutely perfect. Again, get a sample before you judge it.
