Ahhh, that’s in my own home! That’s Cambria Brittanica Warm and it’s QUITE lovely 🙂

Yup, while some concretes can have a subtle green undertone, more often than not, I see a lot of violet hues that can clash with the look of Shoji. They can work with Urbane as a DARK green undertone is a pretty accent to violet, but yes, Shoji would have me a bit worried :). I mean, this is all without SEEING your home, but those are my first thoughts.

Ooooo, I’d be eyeing up BM Cheating Heart if it were me! OR I’d stick with the classic look of white on the island as well :).

Walls are Classic Gray, Chantilly Lace on baseboards, closets, door etc..

10ft kitchen island – cararra quartz countertop

23 cupboards- all white (was painted previously but looks clean and crisp) also cararra countertop

Hardwood floors are a darker brown. Changing them in a year or two.

Want to paint the island either a sage green, dark gray, black or navy! What would you recommend? Would urbane bronze be a good choice or do you think something else would flow better?

I am struggling with uba tuba also :(. Was wondering what you decided based on Kylie’s suggestions? I have been at a standstill for months with this uba tuba.

Hubby thinks it’s too dark at night. Our kitchen is big with 33 cabinets and 17 drawers. Walls are agreeable gray, lots of sun, brown, gray, beige counters we can’t afford to replace and Alabaster for backsplash. Painters are coming 3/28 and I can’t pick a color. My immediate thought is off-white but I keep reading how dated that is and everyone I know has white or beige cabinets. I was hoping we could at least do the island a different color but don’t know what. Our kitchen living room is open concept. Rest of house is grays, navy’s, greens

You aren’t crazy AT ALL! If my kitchen suited it, I wouldn’t bat an eye! I think it could be very striking.

Anyone ever paint the entire kitchen urban? Am I crazy?

Not SUPER crazy, but I would lean more into Urbane Bronze for sure :).

Monica, I’m SO happy to hear this, thank you!

Okay, so I think Urbane Bronze would be too warm for the countertop, but not by much. I wonder if you might look at Sherwin Williams Grizzle Gray as a bit lighter, but interesting alternative? Once you get the sample of it, why don’t you send me some photos of them up. I recommend getting just a little paper chip samples of SW Tricorn Black and tape it on them, as it helps ME get a better frame of reference for how they’re settling in. Send photos of your samples up, hanging right beneath the countertop ledge in several different areas (low light rarely works, natural light is BEST!). Just make sure your subject line says ‘KYLIE SAID SHE’S LOOK AT MY GRANITE’! This way your email will get to me ;). kylie@kylieminteriors.ca

You bet!

Hi Julie! What about bumping it up a bit to Porpoise????

Hi Lacey, thank you! That’s a satin finish 🙂

Hi RJ, Urbane is pretty flexible, as is Chantilly (although I’d lean towards a slightly softer/warmer white with Urbane, ie: BM White Dove). HOWEVER, it’s more important that Chantilly makes sense with your countertop and its degree of warmth, which I’m thinking it could be shockingly white for!

I don’t think you’re crazy at ALL, assuming your ceiling is flat, not textured. However, I WOULD suggest having some crown moulding to really hit the spot (and use flat finish paint 🙂

Hi Julie, it actually 100% depends on your countertop/backsplash and which one really best suits those. Make sure you have big samples in satin finish, as the sheen affects how colours like (whereas a lot of sample pots are just matte or eggshell). In general, I PREFER Urbane Bronze as it’s warmth could be beautiful with Anew Gray/Agreeable.

Hmmm, what about something along the lines of SW Natural Tan? As long as it doesn’t look at ALL pinkish in your room compared to the green in Urbane.

You’re most welcome Heidi!

I think White Dove could be stunning with UB (I have it on my walls and trim in my recent paint escapades), but I wouldn’t do Silver Satin. Also, make sure it all jibes with your backsplash/countertop!

Thank you Holly, that’s Sherwin Williams Colonnade Gray!

That’s exactly the combo I’m thinking of painting. Did you do it and how do you like it?!

Hi Leslie, I would recommend cleaning that white up a bit to SW Pure White :).
