We are in the midst of planning our kitchen renovation and I am debating countertops.

Our perimeter cabinets are white shaker full overlay and the island will be the same style except the cabinetry is walnut in a natural finish. I want to do a white quartz on the island (pental misterio and frosty carrina are contenders). Should i stick with the white tops in the whole kitchen or consider a darker option on the perimeter? Will contrasting tops look busy since we already have white and wood cabs mixed?

I like photos of both styles but I figure someone here would have more insight. Fixtures will be chrome and we are going with the whitehaven sink if those matter. I am going for more of a coastal cottage look than farmhouse.
