Hi - I ordered Silestone Lyra and cancelled in a panic after I saw photos of it on a large scale - I was not able to find a big sample in my area. I recall that in the official silestone photos of it, the pattern looked subtle and in the small sample I had, the pattern looked grey with some rust to it. Then I saw some other photos where there was no brown (maybe I imagined it!) and the pattern was completely black and busy. I also saw it described as a black pattern in some blog posts. I ended up going with White Zeus Extreme which is plain white and doing real marble as my backsplash (I also have toddlers). I am very happy with that combo.

Hopefully a pro can weigh in on what the most natural marble look quartz is at the moment. I have read that Cambria Torquay is a good one, but I think there are several options.

Anyway, that was my (non)experience with Lyra. Hope that helps. And sorry to offend anyone who has it and loves it!
