[quote=Anonymous]It's really hard to offer suggestions because you haven't given us much to go on. :) Is this for a kitchen? (I assume yes because you mentioned granite.) What type/color of granite? What color are your cabinets? Is it a big space, small space? Do you have a lot of light or is it fairly dark?

There's a lot of variables here and I have no idea which way you should go, but I'll just throw out another thought -- you seem to be leaning toward pale neutrals but you might not have enough light for a pale neutral to really sing. The scandinavian/gray/beige moment that we're hving now in interior design seems to work best when you have abundant light.

So maybe you need to move toward a more assertive color. If you like green, for ex., pick a green. Not a beige with green undertones. If you like blue, pick a blue, not a gray-blue.

Just a thought. Another thing I do for myself is select maybe two or three samples and tell myself that these are my only choices. Usually something will work. If I go down the rabbit hole of picking from the 500 shades of beige or greige out there, I'd go crazy.[/quote]
