Hi annabelle630, Congratulations on designing your new kitchen! You mentioned Caesarstone Statuario Nuvo may be throwing off a deep white (almost blue) colour compared to Quantam Statuario. Maybe, consider these two colours also: Statuario Maximus (much whiter, deeper veins) http://caesarstone.com.au/colour/5031-statuario-maximus Calacatta Nuvo (much whiter, lighter veins) http://caesarstone.com.au/colour/5131-calacatta-nuvo Any questions please don't hesitate to reach out! Best, Caesarstone

@Cee, Yes precisely what can happen with whites. I know nothing either but my daughter has a fabulous eye for what's in a colour that quite frankly bewilders me as I simply can't see the blue, pink or orange tone so I was lucky that all the colours my daughter chose all matched each other and in my case were all warm tones which I love. If you have an artist as a friend that would help you no end but otherwise take the colour cards or names of the paints you've already used to a paint store and they'll help you chose or even get yourself a colour wheel and spin it around and try to determine what you've used on your walls and look at the colours opposite to your colour or lastly get someone from the paint store to come and see your furnishings and they would be able to find colours that work for you.

You can certainly go either way, cool white or warm white. I would tend to opt for a slightly warm white so there is contrast between the white elements and to warm up the room, esp given your flooring choice. What a beautiful stone you have chosen. Antique White USA or Natural White are two that spring immediately to mind. Can you upload a pic of your flooring? Which white paint colours are you considering?

Getting a quote on the Grande Statuario. I think it’s going to be significantly dearer than our first quote ☹️ The crispness of the White is perfect with great veining. Second quote being done with main island in the Statuario and with Smartstone along benches under window and into pantry, in case the first is too dear. Took our Lexicon 1/4 and overhead samples with us. Really happy with the choices. I just hope the first quote isn’t too dear as I’d prefer all white but I’d be happy with the combination of both tops.
