    They seem one in the same for the most part - how do they look when paired with your other selections?

  • 7 years ago

    Both choices will coordinate color wise with tile and paints The Radiance pattern is more muted and more uniform. Pristine pattern more distinct but scattered, has longer gray veins in it. Went to warehouse/showroom to see slabs which is quite helpful however the lighting was terrible. These photos make them appear more bone color than white

    Look very similar on here but I would choose whichever one has the coolest tones in it. Gray owl is a very cool gray. I have it in my master bathroom. No warmth to it whatsoever.

    So now I have selected “Radiance” as surface choice for my kitchen, only to be informed it is discontinued! Uggh... so frustrating

    Hey - quite the coincidence.


    I also went to the Spectrum warehouse this week (terrible lighting I agree) and decided on Radiance. As of today I believe they have 11 sheets left at the Cranbury NJ location. I snagged two of those but if it's not too late and your heart is still set on Radiance, you might be in with a chance. I ordered mine via Tristate Stone just today.


    They had lots of other great ones too - I'm sure the alternative will be perfect if you've gone with that and, frankly, there is a lot of similarity!

    Seems like you're going for the cooler palette, so I would choose Pristine -- looks cooler than Radiance.

    Thanks for all the feedback. My contractors fabricator was able to capture 3 slabs of Radiance for me. Spectrum told them they are going to start fabricating their product in the US soon, and discontinuing a few choices for now. They claim no quality issues. Thank goodness. Looking forward to install !

    You'll love it. It looks even better in great lighting!

    Anyone have any pictures of Spectrum “pure” slabs?

  • 6 years ago

    Can anyone post a picture of their radiance countertop

    Can someone tell me the white they have used on their cabinets when using pristine? I have a 4" stack of paint chips and none feel like the flow with the cool countertop. eyeroll. Thanks!

    Love my pristine countertop . I have merilat cotton white cabinets and java colored island

    P M would you mind sharing more pictures of your kitchen with the pristine countertop? I would appreciate it so much! I'm pretty sure that's what I want to go with but it's backordered so I can't see a full slab in person. Is cotton white a warm white? My perimeter cabinets will be dove so you can sometimes see a yellow undertone

    Thank you so much! It's funny, your top looks more like Spectrum Quartz Sophistication to me. I only notice it because I'm looking at both sophistication and pristine for mine. In any case, it's gorgeous and I love it!

    P M any issues with quality so far now that you’ve had it for a while? I just had pristine installed. Thank you.

  • 4 years ago

    Hi so far still looks great! i clean with soap and water

  • 4 years ago

    P M - do you have the Pristine on your perimeter cabinets? If so, can you post a photo? Would love to see your backsplash. Thanks!

    Hello! I just joined Houzz and I also would love to see ANY photos of kitchens with Pristine countertops... I'm down to the wire and it's so hard to imagine what a huge slab would look like. We're doing Linen White Woodmark cabinets and light grey walls. Need backsplash ideas too. TIA!! :)

    I am looking at Indulgence….fell in love with it! Today we went to pick up smaller samples so I wouldn’t have to carry the large one around. They were TOTALLY different. One was pinkish and the other was more of a yellow background. It is a light taupe with white and beige veining. I am heartbroken. Has anyone had this issue?

  • last year

    I just had Indulgence installed. I don’t see any pink or yellow. But the slabs are more creamy white than cool or gray toned white.

  • last year

    Beautiful! The slabs I saw were nowhere near that! I ended up with MSI Q Calacatta Miraggio Cove. Very similar!

  • last year

    I like the creamier white of the stone. They are working on my backsplash today and I’m so excited. Maybe my four month ordeal of a renovation is close to being done
