When I was looking for pictures of Corian Rain Cloud I came across this. It's Sandalwood. Here is a link that might be useful: Corian Sandalwood

designsaavy...no problem about the hijack...it's still about the Corian. I purchased my counters from Home Depot. There was a local fabricator I really wanted to use but HD had a sale that was too good to turn down. As luck would have it, HD contracted their fabricating and installs to that same fabricator so I got the best of both worlds. When I purchased mine, I took the layout, with exact measurements to Home Depot and you purchase the approximate square footage based on your layout. If that number ends up being a little more or less, they adjust before installation. Ours was pretty much dead on. Also, we actually purchased/contracted for our counters several months before they were installed. It was no problem at all...the fabricator just said call when you're ready for templating.

Love it! Looks great. I know what you mean about the black surface. I love how it looks but I once stayed in a condo with black counter tops and I knew I wouldn't be able to handle it. I did put them in my laundry room and LOVE them there since I don't spend as much time working over them. I had Corian before the granite and I loved how it felt so soft and smooth and was basically worry free. I do love my granite too, but that soft feel of the Corian is so nice. Enjoy your new kitchen! Good luck with the paint. It's so hard getting paint right on the first try and it seems to change throughout the day too. I never seem to get it on the first try and sometimes not on the second. Frustrating... But at least that is the least expensive fix : ) This post was edited by gr8day on Tue, Jul 29, 14 at 8:33

Which direction does your kitchen face? How much natural vs artificial light? Will the light mainly be flourescent or incandescent, LED, halogen? Does your kitchen feel cool or warm? All of these will affect how you perceive the color in your space. Also, besides the hard surfaces, what is your inspiration? What are you taking cues from? A picture, a fabric, art? Consider adjacent spaces. Does the kitchen stand alone, or is it open to another room (besides a breakfast nook)? Does it share a wall? Maybe take pictures of your existing space. If you have a cabinet sample, counter sample, floor and backsplash tile sample in that space it would help too. If you're still not sure I would say pick something neutral such as an off white, like BM Powder Sand. Something like this can be livable for a while. This way you don't hold up construction while you struggle to decide on a color. This is of course assuming that you don't have crazy high ceilings and painting is DIY-able. Doonies kitchen has light, vanilla-ish walls and cherry cabs. I'll post the link as a single picture doesn't do it justice. Here is a link that might be useful: Doonies kitchen
