Conventional wisdom is keep counters the same if the cabinets are different. I'd stick with that logic. The first slab is very nice. So is the quartz. If you are buying "quartzite" you need to do your own due diligence and make sure it behaves as expected in terms of scratches, stains, and etches because a lot of "quartzite" that looks like marble is actually marble.

Have you looked into Compact Calcutta Unique (left) or Silestone Calcutta Gold (right)? We are doing a very light gray kitchen cabinet with white subway tile and a charcoal gray floor. I think we are leaning toward the Calcutta Gold quartz but both are pretty.

Do you want a countertop that mimics marble, or are you open to other suggestions?

This is the one I almost went with, called Fusion by Hanstone. My cabinets were too warm for it but I think it would look really nice if you're looking for something different.

We chose Silestone Quartz in Snowy Ibiza to go with our greyish cabinets. Fairly white, with subtle grey veins. We have not finished the kitchen, but you can get an idea of the look from this photo. We are going to use a slightly darker, stone backsplash in earth tones.
