White Venatino Marble Back Splash - Grout Color? backsplash
Comments (2)Many people with Carrara (which is similiar) have chosen Custom Platinum. It's a very light grey that tends to minimize patterns, if that is your goal. But, compare the color to your sample, as your tile may be different....See MoreWhite kitchen: marbled or solid white counters if colorful backsplash?
Comments (5)Thanks @J Inhof and @Pam A. Good question about the tones of the Pure white - I don't have a sample of the Pure White (oops!) but I did look at it with my cabinets in the IKEA store (which obviously has very different lighting). The Pure white, was very very close to the cabinet color. The Frosty Carrina overall read a slightly cream - I do have a sample of Frosty Carrina, and in my kitchen it also reads slightly cream (and the website describes it as ivory). Here is a photo I took at IKEA of 'my' cabinets with Frosty Carrina:...See MorePut me out of my misery- what color backsplash?
Comments (38)So you have a kitchen with very little light and are going with a brighter white and white tile with a light countertop. "The kitchen gets minimal natural light so the brighter the better." Has anyone ever explained how white works. White has very little color and looks white vs gray or black because it is reflecting lots of light. If you paint the inside of your closet white and step inside, turn off the light and close the door it doesn't look light and bright. When you have low light conditions white has nothing to reflect. This is when you should have rich wood tones or mid toned colors that can hold their beautiful with or without lots of light. It snowed here recently, so I just went out front and took two pictures. The snow isn't so pretty where the sun isn't reflecting off the snow. White on white kitchens look beautiful when they are flooded with natural daylight, or you have a lot of lights turned on. They all look beautiful in professional photo shoots, but most of us don't have studio lights in our homes....See MoreWill Hale Navy work with a beige granite and multi color backsplash?
Comments (28)I think both samples look good. Just a word about the painter’s preference: in NY, my painters all preferred BM. Here in TN, it’s SW. As a consumer, I find way more SW stores here and I’m starting to think the availability of one over the other is the only reason. I’ve used both in my homes and they work well. Sometimes, a certain shade of a color is just too perfect, so I drive further for the BM color if I have to. Professionals have preferences. Stick to warm white or ivory. Your countertop doesn’t need to be changed. Yes, pulling a grey from it might be a “better match” but it is your house and you should use the colors that make you happy. My previous yellow kitchen got a lot of wrinkled noses but I didn’t care. I painted a quarter sawn oak kitchen white, with a lot of protests and I still don’t care. It’s refaced and the oak sides were painted without any hint of the wood underneath. Good prep and primer will cover your oak completely. Here is my kitchen in SW Creamy....See MoreUser
