What is Black Soapstone Countertops?

Quartz is the least expensive stone Ace fabricates, at $120 to $150 per square foot installed. Variation between slabs is moderate, so look at yours before it is cut.

Piece-to-piece variation is rated medium, so what you see in a sample is a fair guide to the counter.

Certifications

This one carries GreenGuard Gold · NSF · USGBC/LEED. The Gold tier is the strict one — it is set against the air-quality limits used for classrooms. NSF is about food contact, not air: it certifies the surface as safe to prepare food on. Useful on a LEED project; irrelevant on most kitchens, but it costs nothing to have.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Black Soapstone Countertops itself, not from its name.

Forget the name for a moment. The swatch measures #303D45 — deep and cool — which puts it nearest Navy in our pairing data. Close enough to neutral that the cabinets get to make the decisions; this will follow them.

Cabinets

Pure White — the proven two-tone: white perimeter, navy island. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic

Hardware

Warm Brass / Satin Gold — navy + brass is the modern classic power couple. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic

Countertop

White Veined (Marble-Look) — white top lightens the dark base. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic

Flooring

Natural / White Oak — wood floor keeps navy from going cold. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes solid

Island

Mustard Gold — A mustard island against navy perimeter cabinets is the blue-and-gold complement done at furniture scale, warm where you gather and calm at the walls.. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes current

Steer away from

Espresso — two heavy darks with clashing undertones — the room sinks
