Backsplash Tones

12 years ago
Beautiful kitchen. Any thoughts on the backsplash looking purple from this view? I see its a gray Silestone in the other pic, but for this angle looks totally different. Just wondering if there is a colored light or thoughts on getting this purple hue. Thanks in advance for your help.

    The counters placed in this home are quartz, specifically Silestone in Polar Cap, which has a touch of sparkle added in. Beautiful finish and very easy to care for.
    The backsplash is Cambria Minera 5360, also a quartz but different manufacturer.

    If you are considering a specific surface for your counters and backsplash, we recommend considering the lighting that will be placed in the direct area - as it will affect how the color appears, even in different natural light conditions.

    As you can see, the undermount lighting below the cabinetry is affecting the color, which appears charcoal with a sparkle, but gains a blue or purple hue from the lighting chosen.

    Thank you for your interest!
