You would have to post pictures WITH the countertop and cabinets together. There are so many shades of white, you will get great answers to your question. You just need to post the correct pictures. Both samples are pretty tho

@M Riz, I didn’t receive any samples to take home at this shop, but my cabinets are super white, more like option 1, does that influence the choice? Would the less white stone look weird with the super white cabinets?

Both are samples are good, Looking at you kitchen cabinets…. I voted for 2nd one.

ahhh super white varies a lot. Is there any way to borrow samples from a store or bring a cabinet sample to the quartz dealer and take pictures in natural light. Youre going to get a lot of guesses this way.

@M Riz I didn’t consider asking but I will try to do that! Would the goal be to match the colour closely as possible? Or is there some type of design principle that says the cabinet should be brighter than countertop or vice versa?

Its about complimenting the colors. All colors have undertones that are brought out by adjacent colors. In order to get great advice from people on here, I think the best thing to do is get a pic of the whites of the cabinets and counter together. It will be worth waiting a day or two for good advice.
