Granite question for light kitchen cabinets
Can anyone share pictures or the name of the granite they have with a lighter kitchen cabinet? I am redoing the kitchen and am getting maple with praline finish and a mocha glaze cabinet.

Re: Granite question for light kitchen cabinets
Is the Imperial Coffee more of a black or brown?

Re: Granite question for light kitchen cabinets
hmmmmm.....I would say a dark brown. Here is a closer up pic
I would say it is a dark brown with bits of black if that makes sense.
we picked slabs with very little variation so we don't have any huge chucks of black.

Re: Granite question for light kitchen cabinets
Really glad you asked this question. Originally we were going with cinnamon type cabinets and i wanted a lighter granite. we have decided on same as you, maple, praline w/mocha Highlights and now i'm wondering the lighter granite will be too light.

I love the shivakasha granite. I know i will end up going with the lighter, it's what i always gravitate toward.

Re: Granite question for light kitchen cabinets
I have that same color cabinet and we opted for a dark brown granite with gold/rust undertones.

My light colored cabinets are similar to this except I have Giallo Ornemental which is a light granite and I really like the look. Light or dark granite looks good with these cabinets, it just depends on the look you are going for!
