Possibly one of the most primary decisions you will make in your kitchen or bathroom will be the color theme. As in all areas of design, color has the ability to transform the entire design of a space.

So, how do we get started, Choosing Color Theme?

Gather some samples of your preferred tiles, wall paint color swatches, appliances and fixtures, flooring and a cabinet door sample. Include also, any other permanent fixtures that would contribute to the color theme design layout. Choose a counter top surface (natural stone) that blends in well with your surrounding color theme.

Besides color of the paint and stone, also consider light which enters the room. An example, the north facing room will tend to feel “cooler” just because the color of natural light. South and west facing rooms will feel a lot warmer. You can balanced these natural light sources by choosing colors on the opposite color spectrum. If your living room or kitchen faces west, and receives the yellow and red light of the afternoon, but you desire a more sophisticated look, choosing paint and stone with green or blue tints will help bring it into balance.

First, I suggest start by choosing the color of stone that you love. Don't worry much about how stone color will blend in with surrounding color theme. I would worry about fitting the room color to the stone color later. Choose a stone (granite, marble, limestone, soapstone, onyx ...) that you think is beautiful, regardless of whether it matches the color theme of your cabinets or walls. You will be far more satisfied, at the end, by choosing a counter top stone that you simply love, rather than choosing a color or style because you think it will match.

After you decide on countertop stone color, imagine what colors will look best on the walls. Choosing a color within the same color hue will help the room blend into itself, and the resulting uniformity will give it a comfortable feel. This is called "monochromatic color theory", and it tends to create an atmosphere of relaxation and quiet stylishness.

Try to pick colors neighboring the stone color on the color wheel is called “analogous color theory”. It produces a rubost and delicate feeling, as long as one color (for example walls,) is chosen as the dominant color, and the rest of the room (natural stone, floor, cabinets and accent pieces) are allowed to enrich the dominant color
Choosing a complimentary color scheme (colors opposite each other on the color wheel), will give your room a sense of motion and contrast. For best results, choose one or two dominant cool color, walls and floor for example, and go with warm color accents. Cool accents in a warm room tend to look unpleasant. Because of the strong contrast produced by a complimentary color choice. That’s why many interior designers choose colors just adjacent to the complimentary color, instead  the complimentary by itself.
