    Giallo Ornamental Granite is a loosely grained granite with muddled shades of white, beige and brown. The material has many uses, but is most often associated with kitchen counter tops. When choosing a color of tile to accompany Giallo Ornamental Granite, choose earthy colors that fall within the color range of the tile. For example, choosing tile with pink or gray hues may not be the best choice. Also consider a tile with a simple pattern, so it does not compete with the highly patterned and veiny look of the granite. Tumbled Travertine back splashes above Giallo Ornamental Granite are a popular choice.

    On the Other: Play With Contrast

    While choosing tile based on the color palette of the Giallo Ornamental Granite is one option, contrasting colors in kitchens adds dimension and interest. Since "brown" is a composite of the colors yellow, orange and red, you could choose your tile based on complementary, or contrasting, colors of brown. This would include shades of violet, blue and green. Another option is to bring color into the grout of your tile. According to HGTV, "colored grouts don't show dirt as easily and can be used to accentuate the color of the tile."

    Bottom Line

    Gaillo Ornamental Granite is a beautiful stone that varies in color. When searching for matching tile, you can consider matching it based on the muted earth tones in the granite, or you can play with contrasting colors such as violet or green. The most important component to your decision is your personal opinion. Bring a sample of the granite with you and choose based on what you find aesthetically pleasing.
