Where Does Giallo Veneziano Come From?
Giallo Veneziano is a granite from the mountains of Brazil and is an orthogeneisses rock, which means Giallo Veneziano is metamorphized lightly-colored magma under high pressure.
Other types of granite formation create different types of granite through different types of rocks or way of formation, such as Paradiso (migmatites, slight melting of gneisses), Santa Cecila (garnet gneisses, richer in garnet).

Giallo veneziano is yellow
Hey Debbie,
Giallo Veneziano is yellow with brown. You might be looking at Giallo Florito, which is slightly peach with brown.
Can you tell me what goes good as a backsplash for giallo Veneziano
If you’re not going the full backsplash route, I’d recommend a four inch Giallo Veneziano backsplash. When I design, I choose a wall color that is a different color than the cabinets and complements the floor choice.
Some designers like to use tile, so if you’re going that route, try not to pick one that draws too much attention (such as overtly bright or outstanding designs).
looking for the perfect color tile backsplash to go with giallo veneziano granite countertop
Hi Denise,
The perfect color tile backsplash depends on your cabinet choice and decor of the room.
Sometimes people like the tiles to emphasize the different colors in the Giallo Veneziano, such as the yellows or the browns. It’s your cabinets and the subtle complements in your kitchen that make a tile “perfect.”
I suggest searching for samples of a range you would like and match them up to your countertop. As a starting point, try thinking about possible complementing the browns or the yellow: these can be highlights in the tile, instead of the tile itself.
I hope your tile search goes well!

If you have a small 3 ft slab left over use that for the backsplash behind the stove and the rest of the area use the travertine, I am doing this for my kitchen, will post some pictures once its done.
Giallo Veneziano make your dreams of Kichen come true
What color/style backspash goes with Giallo Ornamental granite? We have dark cherry (red mahogany) cabinets and neutral paint color on the walls.
Dear Gina,
Most of my customers opt to use one of the following as their backsplashes:
* 4 inch backsplash of the *same* granite
* Full backsplash (backsplash up to the bottom of the wall cabinets)
* Tile
I would recommend you use a 4 inch backsplash, because it seems like you wish you show off your paint.
Please email me, or use the contact form, if you’d like to give me more details about your kitchen.

I’m trying to find wall color and floor tile color to compliment giallo Veneziano granite countertops with honey maple cabinets…
Please help!!!
Dear Gennifer,
Many of my customers choose to complement their floors tiles with their countertop.
Since your cabinets are close to the shade of the Honey Maple cabinets, I recommend floor tiles that are a shade darker than your granite countertops. This gives a flow from your floor to the ceiling.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to reply if you have any more questions.
Best wishes,
Lionel Young
