I'm trying to choose granite. It's a bit overwhelming because even when I see something I like, there can be such wide variation of slabs.

I'll have natural maple cabinets around the perimeter and darker chestnut for the island with a red oak floor. So much brown. So for the countertop, I'm looking at not brown. I don't want black.

I'm looking at grays. I want a good amount of movement, again, to give something interesting among all the brown wood.

I've read a lot on here and I see some people saying to stay away from grays with natural maple, but other places I read that it's a good choice. Opinions?

I'm looking at

• Blue Dunes, some of which are really brown, but I'm looking at the ones that are more gray with some hints of blue. This one has a little more brown than some, but it's the one I can find to put here. https://www.ewmarble.com/products/product/view/16/2055
• Lennon https://www.msisurfaces.com/slabinventory/search/granite/lennon/baltimore-slabs/
• New River White which has very different slabs if you scroll down https://www.msisurfaces.com/slabinventory/search/slabs/granite/new-river-white/dulles-slabs/sstg69-05/msi/

Sorry I don't have photos readily available and not sure how to get images from other websites in here. Maybe I'll try later when I have more time. Thanks to anyone who clicks on the link.
