As a novice I believe light granites are more prone to stains than dark granites. I also believe that advice has been to select resined slabs in the lighter colors and to have a good sealer applied at the time of installation. My understanding is that resined Bianco Romano is less prone to staining than resined Kashmir White. Someone mentioned somewhere on this forum that Andromeda White is a quartzite not a granite. All three are beautiful stones and if you check for resining before you select your slabs and seal well and often you probably will be happy with any of the three you mentioned.

We have had resined Bianco Romano on our island (soapstone perimeters) for over two years...NOTHING stains it at all. A simple swipe with a sponge, and anything and everything disappears.

Someone else here also has resined Bianco Romano for the perimeter counters..and maybe the island as well..and also has zero staining issues.I remember her comment that it is bullet proof...same experience on our end.

Hope this helps.

I have resined Andromeda White and it's bulletproof. Nothing has marked it- not acid, or highly colored foods or oils. We tested a sample of our slabs extensively before deciding on them. At that time, we also tested a sample of a resined Bianco Romano, and it was just as bulletproof, and I wouldn't hesitate to choose it.

I've had resined bianco romano in my kitchen for about 4 months. I haven't had any staining or etching at all. It was sealed when it was installed.

marble etches if not sealed: I know from experience: granite should not etch: (chemical reaction)
Olive Oil will stain: so will butter: if you leave on the countertops; wipe up spills:
Sealer is insurance: buys time for you to wipe up oils, grease, butter, red wine, orange juice, jelly, lemon juice, vinigar.
I still use coasters on my marble top for my computer: that I etched with apple juice from a cup that dripped down; I didn't see the ring until too late. Lazy on my part.

Kashmire white does not stain more easy. Probably wasn't sealed. Kashmire white is from India: google what is special about granite from India.
#1 don't trust the installer that they "sealed" your granite properly! tell them you want to do yourself. Buy a commercial brand off ebay or a stone product dealer that sells grinders and pads and blades in your town. Sealing is easy! and you know that you did it. I personally use www.stoneproonline.com (not advertising: only a suggestion) can buy off ebay.

Light granite:
Millenium Cream :no black in the granite
Kashmire Gold: very little black in the granite
Colonial Gold: Imperial Gold: Antique Gold: (kashmire white can look blue: granite can be an optical illusion when it comes to the colors that you believe to see. Granite changes colors with the differences in cabinets; back splash tile; paint, flooring and lighting (natural light vs. light bulbs)
Seal light granite well: can use a water based sealer: although a petroleum granite sealer works the best.
VOC compliant granite/natural stone sealers, weekly polishers(wax free!) cleaners!

OK, Petra, I am sure you have more experience than I do with granites, so I am a little surprised by your opinion on this. I was told by several granite professionals that Kashmir white stained easily. I tried tomato sauce, mustard and lemon juice on my large sample with no problems. I was advised to try oil. Turned into a SPONGE! Don't know why, but oil based items sink in 1/4 - 1/2 inch deep into the stone as measured from the cut side where I could see how deep it penetrated. I would strongly suggest testing a sample before getting it, and make sure you try oil. Imagaine around the stove, drips of salad dressing, or a melted stick of butter if it gets warm or left under a light, etc. I have heard Bianco Romao is better but I don't think I actually tested that one.
