Having trouble picking island counter top to match, please help

We have a semi modern house and are keeping the flow in the kitchen. We ordered inset cabinets, soft white for the perimeter and dark espresso for the island. Shaker style cabinets with slab drawer fronts.

We have been planning on having a bit of contrast, and we are not the biggest fans of granite. Some of them are just too "busy" and "chaotic" to us, but I can understand why some people love it. We are thinking of going with Caesarstone Raven for the white cabinets, but are having the hardest time finding a good countertop for the island. We are not locked in to Quartz, but we want something that will not clash with the espresso cabinets and Raven Caesarstone. We looked at Giallo Beneziano granite today and like that it wasn't too busy, but it didn't match all that great with the Raven countertop. The granite store was trying to sell us on Absolute Black granite for the perimeter and while it was nice, we still like the Raven a bit more as that is just too dark for us.

Sorry for the long story, and hopefully some of you experts can make some recommendations. Thanks!
