I absolutely love my Cosmopolitian White countertops - I have it in my condo with white ikea cabinets and I love the combo. It’s definitely beige, and not grey - my walls are “BenMoore Dove Wing” and it’s looks fantastic I stressed over this so much! But I’m thrilled with the results. My mom put Eternal Statuario (Silestone)in her kitchen and it’s nice with the white cabinets - but I love the subtle contrast of Cosmo White. Naturally we stress because there are so many choices (too many!). In reality a lot of them are nice so just go with your gut and don’t over process, that’s my tip....Looking back, of course I can say that now! All the best!!

Oxford white is perfect with the 5131 Calacatta Nuvo...our reno is a long story but we had this combination in our new kitchen, for a short period of time and I loved it. I first saw this combo in a friends home which was beautiful. Our kitchen was ruined before we were able to use it due to a flood. Our new kitchen after the flood is still Oxford white but the counters are now quartzite. I do like Simply white...have it in my bedroom but just preferred Oxford for my kitchen.

Parisa...Yes! I love them. When we first got them, I searched the best ways to clean the very rare stains (like when rubbing alcohol hit the orange ink on my Hawaiian rolls and dissolved it into liquid orange stains), and didn't see Magic Erasers among the recommendations. I've used rubbing alcohol (good solvent) to clean it, and when necessary, added baking soda or liquid Bar Keepers Friend, whichever was handier. Never had a stain they didn't remove--sharpie, fruit, ORANGE INK! lol No damage to the finish. They look stunning, and have more subtleties than show in the pictures. They are a dream, very easy care and very easy cleaning. I do find that plated food cools fast on them, which is also true of granite and real marble bc of their density (and high specific heat capacity, for the science nerds, haha). I'm so glad I didn't go for granite a few years ago and be stuck with the looks that I'm now tired of. Marble is not only timeless, but always gorgeous. We get wowed compliments on it, too.

@Patricia Colwell Consulting You are 100% right re; 'someone else's house, lighting, floors', etc. BUT here is no need to be so challenging to the posters. Most people on here are doing research, asking questions, posting pictures for other's opinions, trying to learn. I'm sure you know that already so why act so disrespectful to people on here? @ebroman29 My BFF has SW Snowbound cabinets and trim and was considering MSI Calacatta Laza. She took a Snowbound cabinet drawer up to the MSI supplier here. The backgound of Laza was a great match with SW Snowbound. Laza was her second choice. She ended up getting MSI Calacatta Prado, totally different look. But yes, Snowbound would be great with Laza and I'm one of those people where the hues have to match or blend very very well. You might want get a 9" X !4" Samplize paint sample of your cabinet color, your wall color as well as your flooring, take it to your stone store and see how well it works with Laza and others. All that will help picking out a backsplash if you are not going to use the quartz as a backsplash. Then hopefully you will get a decent quartz sample to help you with a backsplash.
