I agree, however, I think the problem is the cabinetry and not the granite. The walls, the floor, and the granite are complimentary. Consider painting and/or glazing cabinetry. The outlet on the side of the island is begging to blend. Good luck!

Thanks for the idea! I'm pretty much color challenged LOL! Would a chocolate glaze work or what color glaze would you suggest? If paint, what color?

Are these new cabinets? I wouldn't go painting and glazing over new cabinets- Can you pull a color out of the granite that is neutral ?

queenjanjan, from what direction does the natural light come? That will make a difference.

The cabinets are new. The house faces east.

I would try painting the walls classic taupe. Behr makes it. Home Depot makes sample size jars. Try it on a couple walls, next to the cabinets & the granite, so you see it in the different lighting. Give it a few days...

The easiest thing is to go darker, dark chocolate or coffee bean (the granite will look less orange when the redness of the cabinets is gone); but I was thinking lighter, a khaki (error the grey side) glaze over a light or medium wood tone... A whitewash look, if you will. But if you prefer a clean look then fresh clean paint is the way to go. Hire a professional. I know it's a dilemma. Good luck. I'll look for an image to post.

Back to my original question, If I went with paint, any suggestion on colors? I'm attaching a pic of the granite sample. The samples colors are also suggestions but were given before the actual granite slab was installed so don't know if they would help mute the heavy yellow of the slab now.

Hi---check SW's Threshold Taupe and Sanderling for wall color. I recommend removing the 4" counter return and doing a full backsplash. Grout tile by adding a bit of the wall color to the grout... Hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

Hi -- We installed Santa Cecilia in our master bath. I think it's a beautiful granite. You might try SW's Kilim Beige.

Blue cancels yellow. That's how it is in the world of hair dressing. LOL, so, maybe a beige or taupe wall paint with blue undertones.

Sherwin Williams sw 6141 softer tan or sw 6113 interactive cream

The taupe in your samples would work nicely.

With interactive cream (earlier post) it goes with ur Tuscany theme, but also the slight golden undertones can help soften the yellow tone in the counter top. Paint samples r a must. The key is to look at the samples on the wall throughout the day. Natural light and artificial light changes a color.

The best way to go is get sample cans and try next to granite. We cannot see true color on computers. I would lean towards the dark gold tones. To play off the granite.

I would do a backsplash in a color from granite I think I see a tan color. Then pick wall color. With samples next to backsplash.

yeah, a color like your second swatch, but maybe a little lighter -- in the grey/taupe direction rather than cream (which has a yellow tone itself).

I love taupe, but it is not usually used in a Tuscan theme. But I love me some taupe.

Try a rich olive green. Sherwin Williams colors to consider are: Edamame, Green Sprout, and Olive Grove. Use some wine colored accessories for your kitchen and you'll be living the Dolce Vita! Best, Caryl H.

Hi again. Found pics of the Sanderling and Threshold Taupe paired with wood tones such as yours. I think the hues coordinate well with your existing materials. If you want to take it a step further, then check out Spalding Gray. All colors are Sherwin Williams. Hope this is helpful... :)
