Your benchtop and the cabinets look lovely together! That is something I am looking for! Is the nougat CS fine in maintenance, or is there any risk of stains from food, wine, etc? Re: Color of caesarstone benchtop 16Jan 17, 2011 11:08 pm kek I don't understand the "broken benchtop" comment. I picked my benchtops specifically because of the stone flecks. Kek, I didn't understand it either! He was implying that the cut off caesarstone corners might create a look of holes inside of it due to existing flecks, or something like that. I believe that comment was made due to a higher price of nougat CS comparing to other CS types... Do you by any chance have a picture of your kitchen? I am eager to see the nougat CS at someone's kitchen corner Re: Color of caesarstone benchtop 17Jan 18, 2011 8:03 am Brenchik, I've had a couple of instances with curry stains that were difficult to get off. You need to wipe anything like that off straight away. Some were left overnight but I was still able to remove them with Gumption. As for the cut off fleck thing, I sometimes look at the edges on mine and think "oh **** there's a hole" but it's just the lighter fleck which is kind of transparent still a strange thing for him to say, mine looks great and am very happy with it. Re: Color of caesarstone benchtop 18Jan 18, 2011 8:30 am Hi Brenchik, What colour exactly is your 'off white'? There are sooooo many different colours classed as 'white' that can be used as cupboards. Some are cool based and others are warm based. I have an off white kitchen, but the colour is warm based, not blue or yellow, it's ever-so-slightly pink. It's 'Alabaster'. I have used CS Ice Snow and absolutely love the look! For me, I wouldn't have wanted anything darker. The colour of the flecks in the CS compliments the colour of my cupboards and also ties it in with the colour of my splashback. I also have wall paint that is a warm taupe and ties it all together with the Alabaster cupboards, so there is another warm colour! I have halogen downlights over the bench whch are a warm yellow light, so the bench never looks stark white, so therefore doesn't look at all odd with the off white cupboards. My splashback is starfire glass, so no green tinge and the pantry doors are white. It's also really difficult to show the colours properly by photos, as the flash either washes out the colours, or the natural light casts a yellow glow on it. These are the best ones I can show you...

I think the same thing with mine sometimes too. (CS Nova Aurora) but there are definitely no holes! Also, I saw my sister's kitchen again last night, she has linen benchtops with a much darker tile as splashback, not only slightly darker as I originally thought. It looks great. I definitely don't think the linen would be too dark, no matter how dark your floors are brenchik. any closer to a decision today?

I know that there are too many "off white" colors The one that I am dreaming of is supposed to be a warm based, not yellow though. I have not made the final decision yet, will do that within the following few days. I have got a sample of a color from a kitchen designer, it is called "Carribean White", but I am not sure whether there is actually any similar paint to that in Bunnings....However, Alabaster looks quite similar to it! I would probably definitely consider contrasting out garage door (e.g. light ash would look great) and make downpipes and fascia same colour as your walls, not as your… 1 3569 Suggestions please for acrylic rendering Color to match austral brick urban one pepper.
