help with granite countertops

So my cabinets are being installed today! But now we have to decide on the countertops - I was all set on black galaxy but now I'm second guessing it.....

If you have wood cabinets with granite countertops - what color is your granite?

Any pictures would be really helpful!

TIA!

We went with a color called Ouro Brazil. I have to feel it or look on an angle to tell if it's dirty. It hides really well. Sorry for the cell phone pics.

Re: help with granite countertops

I am just finishing a kitchen in a house I am selling and I used Luna Pearl as I like its lighter aspect. The kitchen's floor and backsplash are both pale beige, the window and door trim is a crisp white and walls are BM Linen white, which is actually a pale beige, and the cabinets are expresso. Appliances are all stainless.

The Luna Pearl pulls everything together beautifully. It has white, beige and dark elements in its "pearls". Everyone who's seen the kitchen loves it.

Re: help with granite countertops

Thanks everyone!

For those of you who went with Black galaxy - did you get the big flecks or small flecks?

Re: help with granite countertops

I guess they are pretty big - we have a ton of flake. Go to K and K in Bethpage. They were excellent. There Granite never has to be sealed.
