What colour/pattern of Corian looks good?

Please can you recommend nice choices of colour/pattern for a Corian kitchen worktop?

We are thinking about having a Corian worktop but I none of the colours are jumping out online and I can't get into a showroom to see them. We will have light grey units so I was thinking of something that is white with a bit of a fleck in it. But I'm open to other suggestions too :) Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Given how expensive the Corian is we really want to find something that looks lovely.

We previously had pure white corian and I loved it but you had to be very careful not to let it stain (e.g. I was obsessive about anyone putting a tea bag or red wine glass down on worktops)! We later went for quartz which isn't seamless (I liked that about corian) but is less stainable.

We used to have pure white corian and bar keepers friend removed everything... Turmeric, red wine, tea etc. The kitchen company put me onto it and even stains left a while came straight off
If you want flecked I'd consider quartz as well as corian. I'm not sure how they compare price wise

We have white with a fleck. I love it but you definitely need a bottle of bar keepers friend to get the odd stain out!

I have pure white too. Cif removes all the stains here and bleach the sink once/twice a month.

There are some lovely Corian finishes now, much more imaginative and more beautiful than about 10 years ago when I was last looking! Was in John Lewis a few weeks ago and they had some samples - here are a few I really liked, plus a gorgeous publicity shot from Corian which is what made me look at it again! I think the rise of quartz in recent years has made DuPont up their game.

Am seriously considering the rain cloud or onyx for my new kitchen, I like the fact they're not pretending to be something else, it's just a resilient worktop with a pretty pattern on it.

Apologies for multiple posts and I'm probably pushing my daily picture allowance here, but realised the fronts of those samples look a lot better than the reverse..
