How To Find Paint Colors To Match Granite Countertops

Granite countertops are beautiful and luxurious, and also demanding. If you have granite countertops, you must prioritize them when making design and decorating decisions. (If you are remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, pick the granite countertops first and build the other elements around them.) This means choosing colors that are echoed in the granite to avoid making the granite look out of place.

There are two approaches to working with granite countertops: 

1) Neutralizing colors down-play the granite countertops if they’re not your favorite feature. 

2) Accentuating colors highlight the natural beauty of granite countertops without letting them overpower the room. 

Granite is king, and it doesn’t bend. But if you listen carefully to your granite you can build a gorgeous motif — whether you personally chose your granite countertops or not. 

Use these suggestions to find paint colors that coordinate with popular categories of granite countertops. All colors could be applied to walls or cabinetry.
