White cabinets with bone quartz?

5 years ago

Help! My kitchen craft dove white cabinets have been installed and my quartz slab of Skara Brae is in. I took a sample of skara Brae to my kitchen to find a backsplash tile but noticed a discrepancy in whites. The skara brae is on a bone background and the dove white cabinets are brighter than I thought they would be. I’m contemplating returning the slab and paying a restocking fee to pick a quartz that might match better. I really hate to do it since it matches my floor really well. The other quartz sample is port rush, which is a cooler background and thin veins. Is it going to look stupid with the Skara Brae?

Yes the Skare brae Quartz does look slightly more creamy than your cabinets. I like it. Keep in mind that your lighting will have a huge impact on the space. Check out the below link to cabinets looking yellow because of can lights. Be sure to put in bright LED bulbs.

Keep in mind the houzz phots have some heavy duty flash on the cameras to show the space to perfection. But if you look very closely you can see that the counters look slightly more creamy. But it looks beautiful. Yours will too. I wonder what the color of the cabs are in that photo.

I’m looking at the Skara Brae (can’t seem to stop looking at it!), and need to see it in person, but would you mind sharing your opinion of the color of the veining? I love the bold swaths of color, but am concerned it may be too brown or green.

It is more brown with green undertones than grey. Definitely get a sample.
