• Choose granite colors based on the exposed brick.Design Pics/Valueline/Getty Images
  
  Exposed brick is an attractive feature to find in a kitchen. Build on that feature to make it a focal point or an inspiration for other color choices in the room. Shop carefully for your granite, making certain the samples you see are the pieces that will be used for your kitchen. Use the brick to pull in a single color component, an opposing color or a more monochromatic color to suit your kitchen design.
  
  

Brick Color Coordination

  Choose your granite by pulling in a color from your brick. Old brick is certainly not solid. It contains multiple shades of color. Look at the brick colors in terms of which one will pull together other existing colors in your kitchen. Find a shade to pull from the brick which will enhance existing or planned cabinet, wall, appliance and floor colors. Granite is not one solid color; choose a color that will make the kitchen cohesive and not overwhelming.
  
  For example, picture brick that has a taupe color running through it. If that taupe is of interest to you and will enhance the rest of the planned colors for your kitchen, begin searching for granite that is predominantly taupe but features flecks of other appropriate colors.
  
  

Crossing the Color Wheel

  If you'd like a contrasting color, pull a granite color that is located opposite your brick wall color on a professional color wheel. A good example of this would be to pull predominately purple granite for a brick wall that features shades of yellow or gold. Another would be to pull in blue granite for brick that has shades of solid orange to yellow. Color wheels can be found online and in art supply stores. They are helpful when you are searching for granite. Match your brick color to the wheel, and look for granite in shades that appear on the opposite side.
  
  

Monochromatic

  When a brick wall is a focal point of one or more walls in the kitchen, another option is to mimic the brick colors within your granite choice, which will allow you to pull the colors found in the brick throughout your kitchen, giving the brick and countertops a monochromatic feel. This color scheme will require finding granite that really does match the brick. Matching will require carrying a brick or a good digital photo of your brick with you to the granite yard or having an exact piece of sample granite brought to your kitchen for comparison. This is a color scheme that, if off, will not work well.
