What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Andes Black Quartzite itself, not from its name.
Read off its own swatch, Andes Black Quartzite measures #2F3234: deep, essentially neutral. We match that to Espresso and build the pairings from there. It reads as a neutral, so it will sit behind whatever else you choose instead of competing with it.
Countertop
- White Veined (Marble-Look) — the refresh move: white quartz instantly modernizes espresso boxes. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes solid
- Warm Speckled Stone (Granite) — the 2008 set — honest but aging; modernize with slab tops instead. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes dated
Hardware
- Brushed Nickel — safe metal on dark wood. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes solid
Steer away from
- Navy — two heavy darks with clashing undertones — the room sinks
