Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Oct 13, 2014 11:49 pm already done my color selection. Kitchen color is suggested by one of their interior adviser. But most of family friends doesn't quite agree with the color. Any color experts could share some thoughts? Most of the google pictures with Calacutta island go with White panels/door/draws/cabinets. I know it really does look nice, but want to be different than the other 90% of the people out there. Any ideas what other matching colours for panels and island back panel would look good and make my expensive island stone stand out? Island Bench: Quantum Quartz CALACUTTA Cooktop Bench: Smartstone Vanilla Panels/Doors: Formica ASH WOODLINE GLOSS (1st photo) Island Back Panel: Laminex - (Textured finish) Natural Zebrano Nuance Horizontal (3rd photo) Kickboard: Aluminum Floor: Inovar Bamboo - EARTH Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ also considering swapping out Calacutta to the very basic Smartstone Vanilla due to cost.......I have waterfall on one of the island's side. Re: kitchen color selection suggestions (calacutta island) 2Oct 25, 2014 11:36 am f you want matching and tone on tone, you could go charcoal grey, or mist grey formica or laminex sarsen grey... silk finish would be stunning. The charcoal would be quite dramatic if you have a lot of light in the kitchen. I just saw a thread on here recently using charcoal cabinets and it looked fantastic. I do really like your current selections however Re: kitchen color selection suggestions (calacutta island) 3Oct 25, 2014 1:20 pm Treeseachanger f you want matching and tone on tone, you could go charcoal grey, or mist grey formica or laminex sarsen grey... silk finish would be stunning.

I have changed my colors to Cabinets + Draws === Formica Rock Salt GLOSS FINISH Island Back Panel === Laminex Tawny Linewood Nuance HORIZONTAL Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ also I realized that there are so many different kind of calacutta out there! Quantum Quartz are more of Greenish veins with yellow lines and is CLEANER. other brands Calacutta are more of JUST grey colours but more busy/messy with little string-worm like lines spread out. Both I like....so yet to decide which one....prob will come down with my decision depending on the price and long term use practicalness. Re: kitchen color selection suggestions (calacutta island) 4Oct 25, 2014 3:02 pm I have rock salt velour as my laundry top, it's a color which blends well with a lot of others, doesn't cast yellow at all. I also like the textured look in it. Re: kitchen color selection suggestions (calacutta island) 5Oct 25, 2014 3:23 pm That image doesn't look at all like Tawny Linewood does in person. It is much lighter and the stripe is very pronounced. I think the colour in person works even better with Rock Salt than in the image posted. Both are quite warm so you'll want warm tones in your stone too. Not necessarily so warm that they look yellow but a warm base certainly. Re: kitchen color selection suggestions (calacutta island) 6Oct 25, 2014 3:29 pm Actually you're right, it looks a bit more like fudge stream than tawny limewood....
