    Those are Corian, not granite. That said, you could continue the cool color throughout the room with a gray or steely blue pulled from the counter. Or you could add a bit of contrast with a bold color like a dark red, hunter green, royal blue, etc. Another option would be to stay in the cooler tones, but with lighter shades, like lavendar, mint, sea foam, a dusty blue or a pale sage.

    Thanks for your question abrockway! That color sample is Corian, but it is made to imitate granite, which makes for a more durable and affordable countertop. Pairing the correct wall color with your countertop includes a few considerations. The most important are the color/material of your cabinets and the color/material of your flooring. You want your paint color to tie in every piece of your room, rather than stick out as if it didn't belong. I'd stay away from darker colors like dark red or royal blue, but if you're looking for a pop, try something bright like a light yellow or a peachy-pink. Most homeowners stick to neutral tones, like beige and icy gray for countertops with contrast already built in, plus you can always add some color with decorative accents!

    Gray or any other neutral. Here is an example of a gray countertop, where they used a taupe paint color. Works beautifully!
