I'm interested in this, too.

Did either of you end up using this collection?

Thanks for the reply! I have a couple samples now I’m trying to decide on. Picture was very helpful.

Thank you for posting this! i have chosen Luce Oro quartz for the countertop on my island. It is a new construction home, so won’t be installed until Spring 2022. I am interested in following this thread to see what others think of MetroQuartz and specifically the Luce collection. Here is a picture of the Luce Oro slab from the showroom, I am a fan of the smaller veining as a timeless choice.

Amy:

Engineered stone is essentially all the same stuff. It all comes out of the same factories, Breton or not doesn't matter, and is branded individually for sales purposes.

Coke and Pepsi are carbonated colored water with slightly different flavors. Same thing here.

I am also looking at installing Luce Oro

this is the only information I can find that makes me hesitant about chinese quartz. Also do you see Luce Oro as a soft almost off white color?

Hi annecyle, This is new information to me, but my dealer has had the Luce Oro as part of his IN STOCK program because clients have been so happy with it. It is one of his number one selling Quartz and mine gets installed this week, so good timing on your question :)

I will post a picture of my island once it gets installed. It is almost off white, at least from my sample, but I went with a creamy cabinet color, so I am fine with the warmth of it.

Hi Amy,

Oh wow congrats and how exciting!

I believe This quartz is also stocked by our Local Supplier/fabricator here in Louisville.. I still don’t have per sq ft price our designer is doing some tweaks but I am hoping its doable.

We have a north facing kitchen so the warmth is what I need… I have bm dove as one option. I love Shoji white with it as well but it greys out in our space…

I would love to see photos when your counters are installed.

Thanks for responding!

Absolutely! oh Benjamin Moore Dove would be beautiful with Luce Oro! this quartz has that warm creamy background with gray and gold veins that just goes with so many color options.

Good luck on all of your selections, it is sometimes overwhelming. i will post a picture of the installed Luce Oro soon!! I picked an Ash Gray quartz by MSI for the perimeter countertops which helped make the Quartz total a bit less expensive. I like the mixed look, others like one surface… totally get it! Happy Designing!!

Ash grey sounds gorgeous too!

What wall color did you choose?

Ash gray is a very warm gray so went with Agreeable Gray walls by Sherwin Williams.

Amy! How do you like MetroQuartz Luce Oro??? I have BM Dove White cabinets, BM Newburyport Blue island. I love this quartz… it is currently out of stock at the wholesaler… they expect shipment at the end of May. I am on a waiting list. It would be wonderful to hear what you have experienced so far.

@auntiemomog Yes!! Our Luce Oro just got installed! Our backsplash is not even in yet and I love it! 🥰

Amy its Gorgeous!

What color backspash did you use with the Luce Oro?

@Mya i went with Masia blanco subway tile (looks wavy like handmade tile) with warm gray grout. but my perimeter countertop is Ash gray, only my island is luce oro. Here is a picture with the kitchen almost done. i took this in the evening, so picture is a tad dark and hard to see the countertops very well.

Thank you for sharing the photo. Looks beautiful!

You’re welcome, thank you!!

Hey amy i am currently looking into using this same quartz. What is a rough price per sqft ?

I do not have the pricing per sq ft as we were only invoiced the amount we went over from the standard countertop selection our builder had in our contract. Sorry, I could not be of more help on this one.

Beautiful kitchen Amy! Can you describe the color of the veining in the Luce Oro? Is it just grey or is there taupe in there too?

Thank you aliday7! it is both gray and warm biege veining… goes with everything!!

Perfect! That’s what I’m looking for. Thank you!

You are very welcome!! you will not be dissappointed! 😉

Amy, your kitchen is gorgeous! We just selected Luce Oro from a 12x12 sample, so I appreciate the pictures & dialogue. When faced with samples, our eyes went straight to this option. The price scared us, but we continued to gravitate towards it. Your photos are holding my confidence high. We hope to see install within a month.

@Bridget Zorn you will not regret it! Yes, a bit pricey but will last you a lifetime. I feel like the bigger dramatic veins that are 'on trend' in many quartz may not last, but this natural and subtle veining in the Luce Oro is ON POINT, classic and timeless. Takes my breath away every time I walk into my kitchen... ENJOY! Great Choice... Please post a pic when installed, would love to see it! :)

We finally got ours installed. We love it.

The veining is gorgeous. From the other room, the counters just look white, but in the kitchen, you can definitely appreciate it!

Absolutely STUNNING!!! I love the cabinet color with it, you did an outstanding job with your selections!

This is gorgeous!! I love everything about it! I’m considering putting in the same countertop but on cabinets similar to that flooring. Don’t think it’ll look quite this good on brown cabinets but I’m not ready to paint them yet. Still I think it’ll look good.

I am in love with this countertop! a timeless choice for any color cabinet.
