Does Virginia Mist Honed granite have alot of green in it?

12 years ago

I am remodeling our kitchen with white cabinets and am thinking of Virginia Mist honed granite for counter tops and carrara honed marble for backsplash. Does the Virginia Mist Granite have a lot of green in it and do you think this combo is a good one.
Thank you!

We have honed Virginia Mist granite countertops. They don't have any green to speak of. The dominant colors are black/dark gray with lighter gray streaks. I think they would look tremendous with carrera marble. The two types of stones have similar striations and would complement each other well.

I have found Virginia mist to be more of the blue gray to black palette. It is an excellent choice when using the Carrera marble family.

Is Virginia Mist difficult to maintain? I saw it at a stone warehouse and my finger prints remained after I touched it. Thanks!

I have the same question on if it is difficult to maintain? We have leathered in our old house which was a breeze to maintain. Is this one difficult to maintain?
