cooler bulbs give off bluer light tones. warmer bulbs=yellow tones. you could try a bulb in the 3000K temperature to see if that works.

And also, the slab in the kitchen is much larger. the green deposits in the granite show more because there's more of them due to the larger surface area.

Did you not see the entire slab before you purchased it?

No, I only saw a tiny sample and it looked more like a creamy white...I almost cried when I saw it installed.

Your floor tile in the kitchen has a pinkish cast, which is accentuating any green undertones in the counters there. I think the stone is pretty, but you may need to pick a backsplash to bring out/emphasize the cooler tones that you prefer. Also, it takes a few days to get over the Shock of the Last Thing during kitchen renovations, so give yourself permission to not think about it for a day or two...

They're the same stone, but natural stone such as granite can vary drastically from one slab to another -- that's the beauty of it -- no one has the exact slab you do. It can also vary within the same slab...one part can be very simple while another part might be busier.

Your granite looks like Colonial White or something similar, which I remember as having lots of creamy green/jade colored chunks (which I loved). The only thing you can try is changing out your light bulbs or trying different paint colors.

Do you have fluorescent lighting in there? That could be the real problem. A bulb switch might work or you may want to change out the fixture completely.

I moved here about 4 months ago and the whole house has warm colors I guess, butter color walls, light tile and tan carpet. My cabinets are oak color but I am planning to paint them white to match the rest of the cabinets around the house, is that a good idea? The kitchen used to have granite tile but it seemed cheap that’s why I changed it.

Get rid of the fluorescents, that's what's causing this problem!

yes, your overhead light is doing you no favors, both in appearance or quality of light.

Yes, kitchen has this huge fluorescent light. Which light would help get rid off the green I see in the granite?

I’ll look for another fixture!

I really like your countertops.

If you can, I would put in can lights with cooler light bulbs, paint the cabinets and paint the yellow walls in the kitchen.

You should always look at the actual entire slab before they cut it. There are always huge variances in granite.

Any suggestions on colors for the walls and cabinets?

Ben Moore Shaker Beige. My fave and everyone here probably knows that. It's a cool taupe color and good for the walls. White for the cabinets.

I could paint the whole house without a problem as long as I get to keep the brown furniture I have. I found a color but I am not sure if it would go with the countertops and tan carpets. The plan is to install hardwood floors in most of the house, except upstairs.The color is Eternity by BM.

I like SW Kilim Beige.

Or you can see if there is a greige color to go with counter tops to pick up some of the gray and look good with tans.

Fluorescent light will make any granite look green in my experience. Start with new lights.

Browns and greys work great together, you just have to find the right combo. True, chocolate browns look amazing with most greys. Use greys like you would any neutral, just be aware of their undertones. Greys tend to have undertones of purple, blue or purple, so be get samples and see what they look like in each room.
