    Boy, if you find them just make sure you are really committed to the color before having them installed. Sounds like an MCM color. You could do concrete with a rusty stain.

    the only difference in the orange you suggested is it is a solid color and I liked the flex of color in the quartz.

    Bought our house in 1976 with orange countertops. Never liked them. Still here in 2016 and changed them out in 2014 for lovely natural granite. What a relief! Wish the original owner/builders had started with a more neutral color and just used orange (my husband's favorite color) for paint or other accent. Mighty hard to live with orange countertops for so long

    good luck to you. and the smaller the kitchen the easier to change the counters in preparation to sell if that time comes.

    Compac has the orange color you're looking for. There's also Silestone Sonora. Both are good for mid-century modern design.

    Check out Aberdeen from Cambria. It's beautiful & can go with traditional or contemporary spaces.

    Why orange?

    Silestone has a couple of orange options, also Cambria has what I would call a more "grown up" version, Aberdeen. Using this bold of a color is a big commitment for your tops, this is not an item you would replace often. How about using a bold orange as the paint color on the walls and as accent colors everywhere (curtains, placements, etc.)? You can change paint fairly easy and inexpensively - but counter tops not so easy.

    thanks everyone I was able to find two slabs of the Compac Orange !

    Love that you are doing a color that you want. And you can change the paint color surrounded it if/when you want! I say, caution is overrated. Marriage and kids, etc. should be the big commitments in life. You may continue to love it, may not, or may not be here on this earth long enough for it to even matter (the universal dilemma). Now I gotta go check out that color you picked. Sounds intriguing. (but...I was the person who would go skydiving, scuba diving, etc. so am not quite in the typical group that is too cautious). :>))

    Orange countertops are a perfect choice for a Florida kitchen. Post pictures when you are done.

    You must be a Florida Gator fan. haha

    I got my beautiful orange Quartz countertops from Cambria. They have a web site CambriaUSA.com

  • 10 years ago

    You are NOT ALONE. I love orange, my white kitchen is accented with orange, bright happy orange. The only reason the walls aren't is because we are selling this year sometime. Good luck.

    Avoid such trends in expensive finishes - put it on your wall or in fabrics/curtains. Use trendy colors/finishes/styles in things you can pack up and take with you.

    What a beautiful color! I'm glad you were able to source it. I'm so tired of hearing everyone say over and over "go neutral". Life is too short, we should decorate our homes they way we want to.

    I can't wait to see it.

    Can't make a suggestion on where to find (I don't live in the US) but go for the color! I'm remodeling a kitchen to blue and yellow with light grey counters and floor. Everyone tells me it's too much color but I love it. I would just suggest balancing out the orange with something neutral (not white - I hate white kitchens)- take a sample of your countertop and go to a paint store.

    I am moving soon. I am changing the color of my future countertop to orange. It was my son's favorite color...it is a happy color and will always remind me of him.

    ORANGE COOL from Silestone looks amazing and HARMONY from Dakota

  • 9 years ago

    Hi maryoroyne-

    (I would have emailed you directly but don't want to hand over all my contacts to Houzz)

    I too am looking for an orange counter top but it seems I'm a few years too late- the Apple Martini and Orange Cool of my dreams have been discontinued and the bright colors are now only sold in Europe.

    (https://www.houzz.com/discussions/are-the-any-orange-quartz-kitchen-counter-tops-any-more-dsvw-vd~4641808)

    Would you share the name of the people who sold you the orange countertop?I realize the cCompac Orange has been discontinued but I'm hoping somewhere in America there is an orange slab in a warehouse somewhere.

    Thanks in advance

    -Filbert

    I love your orange countertops. Good for you! Those of us who love orange love it enough to commit to it big time.

    Dear Filbert,

    You're right, our COMPAC Orange is nowadays discontinued but as you pointed out, there might still be a chance that you find a slab in stock of this design. Please get in touch with us through our Houzz profile and we'll try our best to find a provider in the US that could have the color you're looking for.

    Best regards,

    COMPAC The Surfaces Company
