Advice please on worktop choice

Hi
I’m having my worktops changed. At present we have oak which I really like but it’s not easy to keep as it marks from kids spilled drinks etc. So want to go for quartz. Please can you tell me if you think this white shimmer worktop will go with my ivory kitchen. Don’t want to go for dark as I’ve heard it shows streaks and fingers marks. Please tell me your thoughts. TIA

What do think when you hold the sample beside the units? You probably need to look in different areas of the kitchen at different times of day. It's unlikely the colour reproduction of you photos will be accurate enough for anyone to comment definitively.

We are about to get a dark quartz top. Our existing very dark (laminate) has been excellent in hiding marks!
Agree though, get a sample and put it in all the differently lit parts of your kitchen..
Also, shop around, we saved almost £3k on ours from the original quote.

We’ve just had something very similar installed and it is absolutely gorgeous. But our cupboards are grey. You really need to hold the 2 together

I am having a green. I wanted wood but have been put off because of the marking. I think it is Verdi Lara or lana it isn't dark and rather beautiful with sprinkle of a ruby pink like cake toppings.. I'm have a sage stove.

I have a dark worktop. It’s leather finish so doesn’t show fingerprints. In fact any textured worktop won’t show fingerprints, it’s just the shiny polished ones which have that problem.
