We’ve been transforming homes since the 1980s, collecting DIY expertise along the way. In recent kitchen renos, VIATERA (LX Hausys) white quartz counters played a pivotal role for the kitchens we reimagined. In our current Georgian home we chose VIATERA’s Muse for counters. Before Muse, in a snowbird house, we paired Soprano with a Calacatta Gold marble backsplash. A third VIATERA option called Minuet went in our former kitchen and was our favorite white quartz counter. Plenty of research for white quartz colors has been done for you here!
7 White Quartz Counter Colors to Love
1. Viatera Rococo Quartz
I love Rococo, and it has been one of the top contenders each time we renovate a kitchen.
From the Musica collection, it is described as “Pale eggshell with gray marbling. Delicate gray marbling seems to swirl and float effortlessly on a pristine canvas. Each subtle detail whispers beautiful music in your ear before being whisked away by the breeze, leaving you to ponder its haunting melody.”
I’m not sure music will spring to mind as you study the look of Rococo. For me, it has an old world, classic French mood. Think beautiful natural marble and with plenty of dense veins.
Isn’t it an interesting choice for a countertop paired with the rustic knotty hickory (or are they alder?) cabinets above? The countertop looks cool in temperature paired with the honey toned wood.
Rococo quartz pairs naturally with black cabinets, and with a white brick backsplash, you definitely get a sense of aged stone. Psst. If you love the bar stools above, see THIS POST.
2. Viatera’s KARIS Quartz
Here’s a white quartz from VIATERA’s masterpiece collection called Karis.
The brand says about Karis: “Sweetness and light exude from this melange of delicate sterling veins, created with delicate brushstrokes, dancing across a flawless pale backdrop.”
The veining is a lighter grey than Rococo. It is also reminiscent of Muse which we are currently loving in our kitchen.
It varies from Muse in its mix of long bold veins with smaller scaled subtle veining. I think the mix of large and small is beautiful since such patterns are more forgiving. Subtle scratches happen on quartz with years of use, yet with more concentrated or dense veining, imperfections are less visible.
3. CANTATA Quartz
Here’s another VIATERA white quartz which can be quite forgiving as far as the veining pattern.
“With understated charm and a calming embrace, Cantata is the perfect composition of harmony and balance. Featuring a polished finish, detailed short and long veins, in a sophisticated gray hue, delightfully work together upon a soft white, tone-on-tone background.”
With the nuance and grace of natural stone, Cantata strikes a winning note.
If you’re wondering about the actual color of the background of Cantata, notice the contrast with the undermount farm sink above. Also, if you need an idea for a farm sink, we love ours!
Don’t forget you can extend quartz to walls as a backsplash (see above). This may be a smart move if you’re not a fan of grout lines (or cleaning grout). If you are a messy cook and the idea of a quartz backsplash offers relief, it’s a thought.
In fact, I chose Soprano quartz for some of the backsplash area in our Arizona kitchen (above), and we loved it. An extra bonus? An instant backsplash installed in a day with the counters with no DIY labor or mess from us DIYers!
4. CALACATTA SUPREMA Quartz
From the Calacatta collection, VIATERA says Calacatta Suprema: “raises the bar for Calacatta-inspired quartz, exuding understated luxury through meticulous detailing.
In contrast to VIATERA’s existing Calacatta offerings, renowned for their cool white base, Calacatta Suprema introduces a warm, neutral palette featuring brown and gray veining on an off-white backdrop.
Its graceful and subtle branch veins, along with nuanced wide vein patterns, seamlessly integrate into the background. The surface maintains delicate contrasts, offering a timeless and versatile choice for any kitchen design.”
5. CALACATTA ORO
Calacatta Oro from VIATERA is said to add “tranquil elegance to modern interiors with a muted off-white background and subtle vertical veins of varying thickness.”
“Reminiscent of rare Calacatta marble, thick warm gray and thin gold-toned veins flow gracefully across the surface, adding a sense of aspirational movement. Calacatta Oro is perfect for cozy, serene, modern environments.”
I was also going for “serene” for our current kitchen:
And just in case you need ideas for lighting in your kitchen or bath…
This quartz pattern which mimics Calacatta marble takes on a more modern feel for me since the veining is large, prominent, and more spare than other options resembling carerra with its denser veining.
My only hesitation? Large expanses of white may feel a bit sterile without balance from color and texture elsewhere. If you’re not sure about this pattern’s variation, do view it in person. The challenge to imagine how the veining and background will appear once it is cut in 25″ deep sections of countertop is real.
Psst. Do some of these kitchens lack warmth? Here’s an excellent way to inject some:
6. AURA Quartz
From the masterpiece collection, Aura is “Influenced by the Renaissance era technique of chiaroscuro, where the balance of light and shade is punctuated with strong contrasting pigments, and flashes of light provide an understated yet luminous radiation.”
Don’t be afraid to expand your conception of “white quartz counter.” This contender may seem more light gray.
Isn’t it gorgeous contrasted with white cabinets?
I love this quartz island with its waterfall edge. The island almost appears to be a solid piece of stone!
7. ANTHEM Quartz
A cream toned quartz known as Anthem is something quite different from Aura.
“The design boasts a subtle yet intricate texture, with stony patterns and elegant brown veins weaving through the surface. The modern retouch breathes new life into a classic short-vein design, creating a fresh and stylish look.”
I can imagine Anthem’s warmth being wonderful with warm white cabinetry or the warmth of wood cabinets and hardwood flooring. By the way, my STAUB French Oven in a Graphite color (it’s on the mood board below and reviewed HERE) is STUNNING with the grey veining of our Viatera white quartz counters.
