help with sink color

15 years ago

I am in the process of building and now it is time to pick out my kitchen sink. I'm not sure what color of sink to get. My cabinets are a creamy color (not white cream) and my granite is gailo napolioan. My tile backsplash is cream colored tumbled marble. I chose an oil rubbed bronze faucet because I wanted oil rubbed bronze door knobs and pulls. My appliances are stainless steel. I'm thinking of a white or cream colored cast iron sink. Do you think white would be too big of a contrast and look out of place? Any thoughts appreciated!

Have you ruled out silgranite sinks? They won't scratch like cast iron will. I don't think your choice would look wrong, but I, personally, think a brown Blanco silgranite would look better. Do you want a fabulously huge single bowl or a double?

I concur on the brown silgranite sink. I think it will look awesome with the ORB faucet. Otherwise, I'd probably go with the creamy cast iron over white.

Okay, now you have me considering a single silgranite sink. I'm looking at them and will go into Lowes tomorrow to see them in person. I forgot to mention that my kitchen island is painted black. I'm not sure how a brown sink would look with that being right in front of it. It would look good with the faucet and my granite. Thanks for your opinions. I think I'm excited about a single bowl sink!

Good for you! The brown is very dark and would work well with ORB. You could do the black sink. To me, the black seems kinda...kinda...I dunno. Just not quite right. And this is from a girl who loves black!

I've heard from two different people over the last few weeks that Blanco silgranites are the very best. I thought the brands were all about equal, but apparently some people are having trouble with Elkays and Pegasus. I wish I could remember exactly what the problems with those were. Your Lowes should have some Blancos in stock. If not, go to a plumbing showroom to check them out. You can order them from anywhere, including on-line retailers where you can get some great deals. Good luck!

cctray, I have the brown Blanco sink. I love it. We also have the Grohe ORB Bridgeford Faucet, which is about the same dark matte brown.
It is a great working sink and does not get dirty looking. Our sink is set in Antique Brown Granite, which is very dark and looks nearly black.

Oooohhhh! Doonie can I see some more pics of your Antique brown granite! An 8 x 8 little chunk is what I fell in love with but haven't seen the big picture yet!
