Other images of Calacatta Elysio from the MSI website. The vining gas a slight gold tint.

So sorry.... The last sentence above should read, "The veining has a slight gold tint."

Can you post a picture of your existing kitchen so that we can see what surrounds your cabinets? We need to see the flooring, walls, style, etc.

There is nothing special about this quartz. I would pick the cabinets first. Are you planning a custom kitchen?

I would go to showrooms to get ideas on white colors for cabinetry. Your sample might not be current and the color can change over time.

There are a few popular whites for kitchen. Dove White and Simply White. Different brands have their own colors.

In Florida, we did a bright white called Artic White from UltraKraft. We took a sample of the door to the stone yard.

We paired it with Silestone Calacatta Gold. ( mine has very little gold spots, mostly grey veins)

Thank you @eld6161. I appreciate those recommendations. I think my quartz will be quite similar to the Calacatta Gold that you used and I like the paint color that you used with it. It goes very well with the countertop. I'll get sample and see how it works in my light.

@lisedv Unfortunately, I do not have a picture to send. We will be ripping out our whole kitchen and starting over. The floors will be oak hardwood stained with Minwax 'Provincial' stain. We are looking for a nice creamy white color for the cabinets which are being custom built.

I am new to this but I have attempted to upload a photo that shows the style we are going for. The cabinets in that photo are gray, but we prefer a creamy white. We will have 3 windows like this and they will be facing east so there will be much natural light in the room. I hope the picture uploads and that it will help you conceptualize our vision.

Oh, since you showed the dark wood, I thought that was the existing door colour which I though coordinated well with the countertop sample.

BM's Dove White is a popular colour for kitchen cabinets but I suggest you look at both paint and countertop samples together to choose your colours with your flooring, and also have the wall colour in mind when you do so.

Thanks @lisedv. The picture of the quartz sample was taken on our current kitchen table, but the color is similar to our hardwood floors which will be carried over into the new kitchen. I will definitely get a sample of Dove White and see how it looks with our quartz sample and flooring. I have looked at cabinets on the internet that are Dove White. That seems to be a very nice color.

Hi Ed, we also are leaning towatds the same quartz. i actually think its pretty and havent seen one the same elsewhere. colors i have been considering are Seapearl, and Dove Wing or even Pale Oak. the background of the quartz is pretty white and i feel the cabinets need a little more depth then the brighter whites to have some contrast. the ones i picked are still very light but they have a slightly lower LRV. did MSI tell you its backordered? it is where i am.

1. Browse to MSI Calacatta Elysio Quartz web page.
2. Click 'Designer Tips' in the bottom menu.
3. Suggested cabinet colors are listed there.

@HU-5273854921 Thank you for your comment. We went to the MSI Showroom in Charlotte a couple of months ago to pick out our Countertop. We thought it was very nice looking. They told us the that it was backordered. We came back and got our stone fabricator to go ahead and order it. Hopefully, it will arrive before we need it in November. If you come to a color decision before us, I'd love to know your choice and see your progress as you complete your project.

@wdccruise thank you for tip! I'll check it out!

My project wont probably be happening until nect year as i just discovered i have a dental cyst, may end up costly surgery which will eat my kitchen budget. but today i painted some swatches from samples and I liked benjamin moore pale oak or dove wing against the sample. i am going for a very light off white look but not too grey toned, not too yellow or green. these have a slight griege look but softer. i am leaning toward dove wing with satin brass handles.

If you wanted to look at creamier versions maybe something like BM Creamy White or Natural Tan but i feel the slightly taupe tone of the dove wing or pale oak sit nicer next to the colors of the Elysio sample

Sorry to hear of your delay! Dental bills can really get expensive!! I understand having to delay a project due to unexpected expenses - just wish the expense that was causing the delay was something more fun... I too am looking for an off white / creamy white base.We want a bright kitchen, but not stark white. I am really liking Dove Wing but our contractor insists we use Sherwin Williams paints;however, I am sure they can match Dove Wing if I bring them paint sample. White Dove also might be a nice color. It's slightly lighter. In the next few weeks, I am going to get samples and start painting boards to compare.

I have white dove in my entire living room and dining room which is open plan with the kitchen. another reason i’m picking slightly darker but on the same strip, dove wing is a deeper version of it. dove wing is a really nice match with aesthetic white by sherwin williams. that was my first choice but my paint company asked for BM color. white dove is lighter but i felt i needed a little more depth to the cabinet as the quartz is very white. im also doing the quartz as the backsplash too so i needed definition.

yes dental stuff isnt fun and next step is a biopsy and not sure what happens after that.

That sounds like it will be beautiful! Thanks for the SW recommendation!

What did you end up picking. I just ordered elysio and am thinking of doing cabinet in BM dove wing or seapearl.

I tried multiple Sherwin Williams colors and in my light the had a very yellow tint. I ended up going with Alabaster which is very similar to White Dove. The cabinets are not installed yet, but I am a little worried that the color may be too light. Once installed, I will post some pictures. Below is a photo I found on Instagram. The color is Alabaster. I am hoping this is what mine will turn out. Time will tell....

This is a photo of my kitchen island countertop. I really like how it turned out. I think Calacatta Elysio was a good choice for our kitchen.
