With the advent of better technology in the stone slab industry, quartz countertops have become one of the top-quality stones available on the market. While other stones like marble and granite can range from moderate to nearly unaffordable unless you are affluent, quartz has stepped up to allow homeowners of all financial availability to obtain the hardy stone that looks like marble.
So this begs the question, what colors do quartz countertops come in? Are there any specific colors that sell the best? What colors should I purchase for my own home?
That is what we at Marble.com are here to provide you with as we go through a list of some of our most popular and exotic choices of quartz countertops.
Tips For Choosing Quartz Colors
We can make the stone buying and installation process easy for you, as long as you know what you want to buy. While some homeowners come to us with an idea already in mind, others are less secure in their choice and require assistance. Whenever we encounter clients unsure of what colors to buy, we take time to communicate what to look for with quartz and certain elements to understand before buying. These elements are:
· Primary Colors
· Complimentary Colors
· Neutral Colors
· Lighting
· Surroundings
· Personal Taste
Primary Colors
Primary colors are any set of colors that can be used to make a wide range of hues and shades. There are 3 primary colors in a traditional color wheel: yellow, blue and red. By mixing these colors together, you get secondary colors like green, purple, and orange. Then by continually mixing those colors together, you get the full spectrum of colors.
Quartz countertops come in almost every color thanks to its wide range of customizable options. Yellow quartz stones are not typically chosen, but many gold and beige quartz stones are a popular choice as they represent wealth and serenity.
Complimentary Colors
Complimentary colors are selecting two or more colors that are on opposite sides of the color wheel. Opposite colors match well together, so many interior and graphic design options use complimentary colors in their projects.
For example, white and black are opposite colors, but are often used in a minimalist kitchen to highlight the clean lines and separation of the room while aesthetically looking good. Red and blue are complementary colors and often used to attract attention.
The majority of quartz slabs will have complimentary colors in the stone because stones are not uniform once color often. Natural stones will always have speckles of other minerals inside them, providing a lovely accent of spectacle to each slab.
Neutral Colors
White, black, and gray are considered neutral since they are the respective absence of color and combination of every color. These colors will not appear in a traditional color wheel since they have a separate set of color transitions with varying shades of gray.
White has the unique ability to adopt the color of another it is mixed with. For example, by mixing white and blue, you will have more blue. Alternatively, black has the opposite effect where mixing black and blue together will get you a dark blue or more black.
Neutral quartz slabs are extremely popular as homeowners are craving simplicity in their kitchens and bathrooms. These colors are amazing for giving the room the impression of feeling clean and organized.
Lighting
Depending on how much lighting and what type of lighting is in the room can play a factor in the type of quartz color you want to choose. Rooms that have plenty of bright ambient and natural light may want a neutral or darker colored stone to absorb it, so it does not reflect around the room and blind you when you walk inside. Alternatively, a room with minimal lighting could have the illusion of brightness with a white or brighter colored quartz slab.
There are so many options and ways to view quartz with lighting that it really depends on what the room looks like and what colors you would like to blend with the lighting.
Surroundings
Like anything in a home, you and your guests will be looking at everything at once before looking at individual components. Your quartz countertops may be your new pride and joy, but will they be the centerpiece in the kitchen, or will it be a highlight for something else? Are you going to use it as a bar countertop with lovely glasses and bottles surrounding it, or as wall material in the bathroom?
Understanding where the quartz will be installed and what is surrounding it will help you better decide what colors to choose. Selecting bright and vibrant colors is a good way to set the tone for the room so other items like flowers, pictures, or knick knacks can come to life. On the other hand, having a neutral-colored quartz will come off as mute, which is a good background to highlight a specific centerpiece.
Personal Taste
The biggest choice we can help you make is getting you to understand what it is you want. This is your kitchen or bathroom or bar or whatever room you are installing it in. No matter what we or anyone else says is the “best color,” the choice will always come down to, “what colors do you like?” By knowing what colors you like and designs you find attractive, then that will always be the answer. We can show you rows of quartz slabs available and tell you how to make the most of them, but it will always come down to what you like the most.
