Think I'm getting it too. I've been to the Cambria showroom w full slabs which was so helpful. I went through once w the designer and she was so helpful in figuring out what appealed to me then I made the mistake of passing through HD and looking at the little 6" wall displays again and wondered well what's wrong w that one?? I drove 30min BACK to the showroom the next day and had her re-verify and I wrote down WHY I didn't like each one. LOL She made me feel so good in reassuring me I wasn't crazy.

Some of the little 3" sample squares are virtually identical and are useless in choosing an overall look. You need to look on the Cambria website for videos on full slabs to get a feel for the overall look.

These were some of my notes. New Quay was too bland - I wanted more contrast, Bellingham has a lot more dark grey "fluttering" she called it - more busy, Chatsworth has lots of olive green - pretty if that's a color you want to pull from, Copeland went too dark for my low light kitchen, Pendle Hill has more cool white base for my Dove cabinets.

Wow, you sound like me driving back to re-verify! Thank you for sharing all of your notes!! I’ve gone ahead with the Warwick…having installed in two weeks. Of course. Of course now I can’t decide on the countertop edge. Pencil vs double radius. So many decisions!

Oops didn’t mean to write of course twice. I agree with you about Chatsworth with the olive green in it. I really liked Pendle Hill but felt like the white base didn’t go with my cabinets.
