We had similar shades (3 pendants) in our kitchen and the color it cast was awful. We spent quite a bit on them, so I sucked it up and we just lived with them, but when we listed the house this summer we swapped them out for white. Our kitchen looked so much better with white shades, not to mention how much better the people in the kitchen looked. I'd recommend you bring the amber color in with accessories.

That's right, I had. The fabricator dh talked to said that he has some that compare to the lower grade of granite I picked. I'm afraid it's the kind of quartz that looks like a polished aggregate patio. But it's the first interest dh has shown in looking for counters, so I'm letting him run with it.

Hi- We love our Cambria Somerset and have not had any problems of any kind with it. No scratches, chipping, dings, huge resin blobs.... It is absolutely beautiful and was the best choice for us because of it's ease of care, resiliency and the Somerset was the perfect compliment to the sandstone wall we have on one side of the kitchen. Good luck!

Well, I do not have Eternity in my house so I can't provide the kind of answer you're looking for. However, I do have a few thoughts to share that you may - or may not :) - find useful. AF-695 Eternity's hue family is blue. Here is the full hue/value/chroma color notation: 2.31B hue / 7.61 value / 0.23 chroma AF-700 Storm's hue family is yellow. 9.52 Y hue / 6.43 value / 0.12 chroma. Here's a sortable table of color notations for all the colors in the Affinity color collection. I don't do "undertones" especially with regard to paint colors because I think it's an ineffective at best, technically incorrect at worst, way to look at/think about color. For example, one probably would never guess that Storm's hue family is yellow. But it is yellow, on the cusp of green-yellow. And that's exactly why you think it reads as having " no undertones". The majority of whites and grays that people perceive as "true with no undertones" belong to a hue family in the yellow, green-yellow, green range. The Affinity deck is not arranged in any particular, technically precise spectral order. It looks like somebody just eyeballed it. So it's not correct to think that Eternity is "one down" from Storm meaning it's the same color but lighter. In addition to dissuading folks from the misleading pitfalls of "undertones", I also don't recommend cutting formulas. Because as you already know, you don't know what it's going to look like until you do it and once you start down that path, you own the gallons whether you like how they end up or not. The chroma part of the notation tells you how colorful or chromatic the color is. Eternity is already pretty low at 0.23. And its value is 7.61. My guess is lessening the colorant load, if possible at all, is going to shift the color from a "gray" category to a "white" category. Better off to just keep looking for the right light gray vs. monkeying around with cutting formulas, IMO. If you want to understand the Affinity color collection and hue families better, I suggest you reorder the deck according to the color notations. I walk you thru how to do it in this blog post and video: Put the Affinity Color Collection in Hue Family order I get more emails about that post than any other at The Land of Color. Many have told me that simple exercise of reordering the fandeck was life-changing and once they see the Affinity colors in proper hue family order they finally understand my point of view about "undertones".
