Hate to ask, what are the white countertops

4 years ago

Absolutely no one wants me to use white counters, but for me it is a choice between white or black. Could you share what you used here?

    Don’t use black! Will show every little fingerprint, etc….. go white!

      Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. The countertop is Arabis White. https://www.cosmosgranite.com/raleigh/quartz/raleigh-1542-arabis-white-cq-3cm

      I disagree with the comment on black showing fingerprints. It will if they surface is shiny, and smears will show as well. But, a honed or leathered finish on dark granite or soapstone would not show prints and smears.

      Sorry for typos! Meant prints will show if “the” surface is shiny! ; )

      What is the tile and cabinets color of paint?

      White would look the best I think black would make your space too dark, where white is reflective
