Choosing Your Countertop Color

Once you’ve made the decision to install stone countertops, then comes the difficult part – choosing a color! Simply sticking with your favorite color in the world may not be the best idea, as there are several things to keep in mind when you choose a color. Despite what color you end up choosing, Metro Marble & Granite can assure you that your countertops will be the highest quality possible. The best countertop company at the Lake of the Ozarks has a great reputation for being knowledgeable, having a friendly staff, and keeping your lifestyle in mind. Read on for some things to think about when deciding on a color for your new stone countertops.


What kind of stone have you decided on?

It's possible that the kind of stone you’ve chosen can put a limit on your range of color options. Though we have hundreds of colors available in both natural stone and quartz, some types of stone come in more colors than others. Because quartz is man-made, manufacturers are able to more design colors and patterns in a wider variety.

What is your lifestyle like?

If you have small children or are prone to spills, you might want to stick with a darker color. Natural stone, such as granite, onyx, marble, and travertine, are porous and can stain if a spill isn’t cleaned up immediately. If you choose a darker color, such as black, brown, or gray, you will be less likely to notice these unsightly mistakes if they happen. If you're planning on selling your home in the future, it's a good idea to choose a more neutral color. If you choose a bright pop of color for your countertops, your future buyers might have a different style. Browns, blacks, and grays are usually a safe bet because they're easy to pair with different types of décor.

What is the look and feel of the rest of your kitchen?

If you’re remodeling or building a new house entirely, you’re in luck! You get to design your dream kitchen from scratch. If you’re replacing your old countertops with new stone, though, you will want to keep in mind the current look and feel of your existing kitchen. New countertops can definitely change the vibe of your kitchen, but not always in a good way. If you’re going for a more elegant and sleek look, try sticking with black. There are multiple, unique varieties of patterns and grain in black granite, quartz, and marble. White marble countertops are still on trend and help to create a beautiful and modern space. If you’re looking to make your countertops your accent, a reddish-brown color is a great choice. Red adds energy to any room and can liven up your kitchen area. Green countertops give off a very natural and earthy feel and pair great with deep brown cabinetry. This combination can create a very traditional, yet timeless look.


When all is said and done, the final thing to keep in mind is whether you love the color of your countertops. After all, this is your home! Metro Marble & Granite can give you tips and tricks, but ultimately, you will be the happiest with the color of stone that takes your breath away every time you see it.
