Renovating your kitchen is one of the most challenging tasks for home improvement projects. It seems to be because the kitchen is where small changes can have a significant impact. You’re wondering what color to paint the walls, whether to do 2-toned cabinetry or if you even need new drawer handles.
Let me tell you how to get started. I prefer to choose countertop colors based on their appearance on the countertop. Once you have this base, everything else should fall into place. Most people find that dark gray granite is so classy go-to.
So, what color paint goes with brown granite?
Those colors like white, tan, blue, taupe, green, yellow, red, pink, and even gray. Let’s see how!
What Color Paint Goes with Brown Granite?
Brown granite is one type of countertop material that is used all over the world. After all, it’s a durable, elegant, easy-to-clean alternative. Tan colors, like beige, are resistant to stains, heat, and scratches, making them ideal for kitchen interiors. They’re also helpful for a broader range of kitchen colors and can help make a small countertop appear larger.

Yet, some people might prefer going for darker tones
I get it, though.
Those dark granite speckled, swirling, and striped patterns look aesthetically pleasing. Who wouldn’t want a rich coffee brown finish or an enchanting caramel mixed finish for their kitchen countertops? You can always make the most of your brown granite countertops by choosing suitable
cabinets
.
Here few colors that you can combine with your granite
White Dove
To me, the timeless look of white paint with a blend of tan and brown granite countertops looks elegant.
And you know what? It works. You can achieve a classy look by painting the inside of your cabinets with a warm white like Benjamin Moore’s White Dove OC-17 paint. White cabinets can be tied up with blue and gold accents to create a cozy cottage feel.
Fire Weed Red
If you’re looking for something bold and daring, you might be interested in the Sherwin-Williams SW6328 Fireweed paint. It works particularly well when there are many people around, and the kitchen is big enough for everyone to see each other. You can pull this window treatment together with soft lighting and gold accents without being too over-the-top for your room.
Here’s a tip: Use a clear coat to keep the red cabinets looking clean and bright.
Frittata Yellow
If you have light brown granite counters and don’t want to dim them by painting them black, yellow cabinets work well.
Here’s a little tip:
Choose a light shade of white wall paint for your walls to create a calm and neutral environment. However, if you want a quirky look, try applying patterned wallpaper. The Frittata and Corn Stalk Yellow Paints by Bher are excellent choices for replicating this look.
Naval Blue
Since it’ll be used for any lighting, the Sherwin- Williams SW6244 Naval can look brighter when there’s sunlight or darker when there’s no light at all. If you have a western-facing kitchen, the bright light from the sun will make this Navy shade look very promising and royal-looking. I’d choose gold touches in the drawer pulls and sink accessories to add some class to the kitchen.
Setting Plaster Pink
Do you want pink cabinetry that looks mature but not childish? The Setting Plaster #231 by Farrow and Balls is precisely what you need! It’s an orangey-pink color. This way, it looks nice in any kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room. It doesn’t look too bold or distracting.
Not a fan of white cabinets? You can paint your accent walls this light pink and keep the kitchen countertops and the cabinets dark.
Willow Tree Yellow-Green
Nothing says ready to eat than earthy green. It’s exciting and fun to add flavor to your kitchen—natural green with brown marble. I recommend using Willow Tree SW7741 by Sherwin- Williams to get this neat emerald-green finish.
There is one small catch. This earthy shade would work best with a lighter brown countertop, almost tanned. A dark brown granite slab would make the kitchen look somewhat dull. If you like this kind of green but want it slightly lighter, check out Contented by SW.
Shelburne Buff
When people ask me for advice on creating the perfect vintage-style kitchen, I recommend a light warm color such as Shelburne Buff HC–28 by Benjamin Moore. It works well with any wood countertop, including hardwood and granite. As a bonus, you can use it to paint the walls. If you want variety between your trim, cabinet, and wall color, I recommend Blonde SW 6148 and Mountain Peak White OC 121.
Cyberspace Gray
Sherwin-Williams ‘ Cyber Space is one of my favorite colors for going with Gray Granite. These dark gray cabinets look amazing when paired with a bright white wall. They’re perfect for any kitchen. This stone will look good on you if you have a marble-like brown granite. It combines the warmth and depth of wood with the warmth and softness of the walls.
If the gray space is overwhelming for your taste, you may want to swap it out for a Cityscape SW7067 by Sherwin- Williams. It has a similar texture and matte finish but gives your kitchen a lighter reflection.
That’s just the tip. But With its deep black finish, the Cityscape offers lots of definition to the cabinets but doesn’t cause them to look dark.
This way, you get the best of both worlds—the benefits of a regular workout routine without having to go to the gym
Tan Cardboard
For walls, I often use cardboard SW 6124 by Sherwood-Williams to match brown granite with a lot of movement. The striped back appearance helps the busy granite get the recognition it deserves.
After all, you’ve probably spent a lot of money buying this excellent countertop. It only makes sense not to cover up the beauty. If you want a monochromatic look, you could use this wall paint with light tan colors all over with a splash of teal blue here and everywhere to break the
monochrome
look.
Hague Blue
For people looking for a sense of grandeur throughout their entire home, Hague Blue by F&B is an excellent choice. You might think that dark blue and brown grout would clash and make the kitchen feel gloomy.
Get this:
Hague Blue works well in east-facing kitchens because it has a warm green undertow that makes it perfect for kitchens with soft natural light.
Incense Stick Brown
You can’t say white cabinets with brown marble without thinking of a nice brown centerpiece.
For this example, I always imagine it in Benjamin Moore’s Incense Stick! It may be more taupe than brown, depending on the color of the original wood stain, so don’t worry if it looks different from the picture.
That’s just one thing
If you’re going to use this paint for an island with a mixed gray and beige countertop, you might want to consider using it to soften the movement of the countertop a bit. Benjamin Moore 2127-4 Wolf Gray is a modern take on traditional gray cabinetry, especially when paired with a pale brown granite kitchen countertop. The rich, deep blue color makes this shade very relaxing and brings a rustic, farmhouse feel that I love seeing in kitchen decor! But wait a minute.
To avoid making things look muted, I’d recommend going for a few intense accent colors in Yosemite Yellow or Brick red.
Moroccan Blue
With its warm tones and subtle texture, Valspar’s Moroccan Blue paint gives any
room
a sophisticated look. It’s an emerald green coat with a rich blue coat that almost looks like denim. Don’t you love how edgy this look is with all those different
textures
? You can mix in any wood, dark granite, brick walls, stainless steel, and tiles without the slightest classhing.
Beacon Hill Damask
If I’ve ever seen a mature shade, it’s the Beacon Hill Damask by Benjamin Moore. A slight trace of green undertones holds back the boldness of this color, but it’s not enough to be noticeable. It truly feels like an afternoon at the beach!
Here’s an even better part:
For darker colors, the Beacon Hill Damask works well. It also works well for medium browns. It can be used for any bathroom cabinet, not just kitchen cabinets.
Final Thoughts
Granite is one of the most valuable materials for kitchens. When choosing between two colors for your kitchen countertops, the best way to decide which one works better is by thinking about how warm or cool your kitchen will be.
