3 Kitchen Color Schemes With Taj Mahal Quartzite
Posted by Kirsten Sharp on Aug 19th 2021
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
Shown Above: Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray Wall Color (upper left) / Pearled Subway Tile in New Satin White & Glossy White (lower left) / Benjamin Moore White Dove Cabinet / Taj Mahal Quartzite Countertop
In this first color scheme above, I paired our Pearled 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%)
Shown Above: Benjamin Moore White Dove Cabinet / Taj Mahal Countertops with 4.25 x 4.25" Field Tile in Wheat, 3x3" Field Tile in Glossy Taupe, and Pearl Liner Trim in Glossy White / Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray (50% Strength) Walls (Upper Right) / Damask Handmade Tile in Glossy White (Lower RIght)
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. I threw in a couple other tile color swatches to consider in the lower left - the larger tile is Wheat and the smaller one is Glossy Taupe.
3. Taj Mahal Quartzite with Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter
Shown Above: Benjamin Moore White Dove Cabinet / Taj Mahal Quartzite Countertop (lower left) with 3x6" Subway Tile in New Satin White, Pearl Liner trim in Glossy White / Cobham Handmade Tile in Slate Gray (middle) / Pearled Subway Tile in New Satin White & Glossy White (upper right) / Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter Wall Color (lower right)
I went darker and moodier with our last color scheme. This shows our Cobham handmade tile in Slate Gray with Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter for the wall color. I included our Pearled Subway Tile 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 in Slate Gray 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!
