What Colour Are Your Cherry Cabinets?
Cherry ranges from a light, natural reddish-pink when new to a deep reddish-brown as it ages and darkens with sunlight. Stained sheesham and mahogany are often darker still. Identify whether your cabinets are light/natural or dark before choosing a countertop.
Countertops for Natural (Lighter) Cherry
New Venetian Gold-style golds — warm golds echo the wood's warmth. At FB Marble, Kashmir Gold and Indus Gold granite work beautifully.
Colonial Cream-style creams — soft creams like Golden Juparana granite or Antique Cream quartz create gentle harmony.
Black granite — Galaxy Black or Black Pearl creates classic contrast.
White quartz — Ice White or Calacatta Gold quartz brightens the room and modernises cherry.
Countertops for Dark Cherry
Giallo and golden granites — lighter golds such as Golden Juparana stop the kitchen from feeling heavy.
Tan Brown — tone-on-tone richness for large, well-lit kitchens.
Light neutrals — Kashmir White or Snow White granite create contrast.
Green granite — Uba Tuba or Verde Fantastico complements red tones (green and red are complementary colours).
What to Avoid
- Pink and red granites that compete with the wood's red undertone
- Very busy, multicoloured stones with strongly patterned wood grain
- Cool blue-greys that can look cold against warm cherry
Bringing It Together
- Backsplash: cream, beige or white tiles.
- Hardware: brass, bronze or black.
- Lighting: warm white bulbs flatter cherry and gold stones.
