3 Kitchen Color Schemes With Taj Mahal Quartzite
Posted by Kirsten Sharp on Sep 26th 2025
So many of you have chosen Taj Mahal Quartzite for your countertops, I thought it was about time I put together a few color schemes for you!
For those of you who aren't familiar, Taj Mahal quartzite is a natural stone quarried from Brazil. Many people love quartzite in general because it often looks similar to marble, but is more durable.
You'll notice that because Taj Mahal a natural stone, there can be quite a bit of variation in color from slab to slab - My sample, for example, seems to have more of the gray/taupe undertones and less of the gold veining you often see with Taj Mahal quartzite.
While you always want to test your colors and finishes yourself, the suggestions below should be a great place to start even if your slab looks a little different than mine.
So without further ado, let's get started!
1. Taj Mahal Quartzite with Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray

In this first color scheme above, I paired our Pearl Trim and a 3x6" subway tile with Benjamin Moore's White Dove cabinets and Edgecomb Gray walls. You'll notice all the color schemes in this post use this cabinet color - I love that it's a nice, warm white without being too white. To help create flow into adjoining rooms, consider using the same White Dove color on all your trim as well.
2. Taj Mahal Quartzite with Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray (50%)

The second color scheme is a little lighter and brighter. This shows our Damask handmade tile in Glossy White, and I lightened up the wall color by using Benjamin Moore's Edgecomb Gray at 50% strength.
3. Taj Mahal Quartzite with Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter

I went darker and moodier with our last color scheme. This shows our Cobham handmade tile with Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter for the wall color. I included a subway with Pearl Liner Trim here as well as my thought was you could use that for the majority of the backsplash, and then do an accent of the Cobham over the stove. If the Pearl Liner is too much, you could leave that out and just do regular subway tile.
I had so much fun putting these together and I hope it gives you some good ideas for tile and paint colors that go with Taj Mahal Quartzite!
