designmuse LOVE the granite! I think Salsa Dancing or Caliente from Benjamin Moore would look great in this kitchen.

Dytecture Here is a kitchen with bright lime green walls and accents.

Darzy The granite should be "the star of the show" and do everything else neutral. Walls, baseboards, window trim, door, adjacent paneling paint Swiss Coffee. It looks kinda white...like coffee with a lot of cream! There is already a lot of "movement" in the granite and floors, so something simple and bright for the rest would balance it all.

olldcan Totally agree with Darzy but I would stain the island cabinets black and maybe the lower base cabinets on the perimeter too.

shawn602 That counter is gorgeous!

aandrews361 Awesome!!! Don't go against the natural colors your kitchen already has. I think a subtle gold/ yellow would really look classy and warm. he bold color are nice but a fad , and when the fads over you"ll be faced with the same problem. You have to love your kitchen!!

tatts Okay, now you've don it! You understand that you're going to have to bring the whole house up to the level of the kitchen, right? ;-)

You need to extend the look and the lines of the kitchen into the eating area. Keep the same color palette. And, whatever you do, replace the baseboard and door window trim with something that is beefier and of a style that matches the kitchen. That trim no longer works.

jirvine Thanks to all who made suggestions and comments, they are appreciated!

Granite Grannies This Magma Gold kitchen has very subdued colors, but it might help you get a good idea of what looks good with your stone (even thought this Magma is a bit more orange than yours).

jirvine thanks granite grannies. i especially like to see the floor on this picture, looks very similar to ours.
