The alabaster has some yellow in it. If the quartz is not on the cold side, which from the name, it should not, then it's fine. It's difficult to see the true colors online. The one I saw seems to have gray in it.

i have grown to like it but still wish gray veins were more visible for contrast and interest. The full backsplash was the splurge. i was given a good discount at final payment. was told parts of slab they cut can have less veining and have more white. Each brands slabs (color & pattern) of quartz are the same but NOT where they CUT. i should have looked at slab and pointed out what to use for backsplash. thank you all for being supportive and making me feel better! all the best!

Hope this project ended well for you! I also have Calcutta Arno counters, white cabinets, and am in the same dilemma with the white backspash tiles. I like 3x12 subway and picket tiles but the ones I pick are too stark with the warm white counters. Would love to know what you decided on and how you like it.

. these are MSI Laza countertops, but not the gold. do they have these in stock? Do you have a sample door of your cabinets? you should really get one when looking at white slabs to see how they look next to each other. Forget the backsplash until everything else is in. what if you did a solid quartz countertop and a marble tile splash? I did this w/mine. used calacatta gold on the tiles, have calacatta on my island, but went w/Silestone Eternal on the perimeter. (they also have the Charcoal version you might like better. here's a close up of mine. I was using black tiles elsewhere (coffee bar w/black/white cement tiles, and a black zellige tile floor inlay by the pantry), plus I have the Cafe in the black and a dark island, and thought it was too much black this is what it looks like in the charcoal here's a picture showing a black cafe fridge w/the dark countertop black and gold w/a quartz marble Cambria Bentley Porcelain slabs
