CAESARSTONE COLOURS

Pietra Grey

This is a beautiful grey stone that has white veining throughout. It looks very modern and chic. It can be paired with black cabinets or another dark, striking look for an industrial vibe. Lighter shades of grey for cabinets and backsplashes will also create an amazing visual for your new kitchen.

Shitake

If you imagined a grey mushroom, the colour of this stone is very similar. It is a light muted grey that is very subtle. It would match beautifully with stainless steel appliances and give the kitchen a highly matched set-up. If you are not into kitchens that incorporate the same colour everywhere, this grey would also look great with white or cream.

Raw Concrete

This tone is grey like concrete but still has a smooth and glossy look, unlike traditional concrete. Since the colour is very simple and minimalist, it will match almost any theme or colour in your kitchen. You could even include metal or wood in your kitchen to give this counter a more rustic look.

Calcatta Nuvo

This stone features some patterning which gives it a more luxurious and fancier vibe. The stone itself is light grey and has a pale base. It is attention-grabbing, so some people opt to just use it for a section of the kitchen rather than for all the counters. Try using it for a center kitchen island or some backsplash pieces.

Coastal Grey

This is the busiest of any of the choices as it has a grey and white pattern throughout the slabs. It will go best with other muted colours in the kitchen that will not draw attention away from these amazing counter colours. It would pair best with wood cabinets or light grey fixtures.

Noble Grey

Noble grey features a very beautiful light grey tone that has many cool undertones. It also has some blue undertones. Blue, grey, or steel can be used as accents to keep the cool tone. If you want the kitchen to look warmer, try to incorporate some cream or tan shades.

Bianco Drift

This is the most popular choice by contemporary kitchen owners. It can be paired with dark grey or black cabinets to create a very striking visual. If you want the counter itself to be the most noticeable, try using white cabinets instead.

Pebble

Pebble has a medium grey tone and a pattern that is very light and subtle. This is a great choice if you want your counters to blend in rather than being the focal point of the kitchen. It can be a great pairing with an all-white kitchen, as the counters will provide a tan undertone.

Dreamy Marfil

This grey countertop features a grey colour with a pale tan pattern. It does not take away from cabinets or décor, making it an excellent choice for blending in with a kitchen theme or colours that you may already be working with. The tan accents would pair great with wood cabinets.

Frosty Carrina

This counter can be found in traditional and industrial kitchens because of its versatile visuals. It pairs best with bright white cabinets or wooden cabinets. It can also match brown or stainless-steel accents. Since the stone is off-white, try pairing it with stark bright cabinets rather than another off-white colour.

It’s easy to see that Caesarstone has the best choices of colours for your kitchen. They have beautiful colours to match an already existing kitchen as well as choices for a new kitchen home or remodel. Check out this page for more information about ordering samples.

Merope

Although this stone is dark grey, it can appear dark brown with the right accents. It pairs very well with light gray cabinets or light-coloured walls.

Eternal Marquina

This choice is very bold and very dark. It works well with modern kitchens that want to appear chic. Stainless steel or other metals would pair well to give the kitchen an industrial vibe. The counter base is jet black with white veins running throughout it.

Lyra

Lyra gives off a modern vibe, that can also be made to look more historical. The pattern is mild gray against a white background. It works best with other white features or dark brown accents.

MSI

Sparkling White

Exactly like the name sounds, this slab is white with flecks of sparkle. It will give your kitchen a fun vibe that is great if you enjoy entertaining or hosting parties often.

Pacific Salt

The overall colour of this stone is tan and white with light brown and black swirls. The best colours for cabinet choices would be dark wood or dark brown to match the colours in the swirls.

Pearl Grey

This has an overall medium-tone grey colour but with several flecks of darker grey throughout the slab. Since it is medium toned, it can go with any colour scheme from gray to black to white.
