01 / Green selections

Top to bottom: Prada green marble, deep green ground; Four Seasons Green marble, light & branching; Amazonite quartzite, brighter mineral colour.

Green: depth or movement?

Compare a deep green ground, lighter branching veins and brighter blue-green mineral colour.

Do you prefer a more continuous colour, or a pattern with stronger changes across the surface?

Top / Deep green ground

Prada green marble

A dark background with lighter green movement. Compare how continuous the colour feels at the size of your piece.

View material details

Middle / Light & branching

Four Seasons Green marble

Cream and green fields are divided by branching veins. Compare the balance of light areas and stronger markings.

View material details

Bottom / Brighter mineral colour

Amazonite quartzite

Blue-green fields stand out against contrasting mineral areas. Review a full slab for the distribution of the brighter colour.

Review the full slab next. A narrow crop shows colour and local texture, but not the complete vein pattern or the range across a batch.

02 / High-contrast selections

Top to bottom: Rosso Levanto marble, burgundy & pale veins; Port Laurent marble, black & warm lines; Calacatta Viola marble, ivory & bold markings.

Dark ground or pale contrast?

Compare burgundy with fine pale veins, black with warmer lines, and ivory with bold darker markings.

Should the background colour lead, or should the contrast between veins and lighter areas be more prominent?

Top to bottom: Oriental White marble, softer grey movement; Arabescato Vagli marble, stronger grey outlines; Calacatta Gold marble, warmer vein colour.

White: soft veins or bold outlines?

Compare soft grey movement, rounded white fields with stronger outlines, and warmer gold-toned veins.

Top / Softer grey movement

Oriental White marble

A pale background with softer grey movement. Review the density of markings across the whole slab.

View material details

Middle / Stronger grey outlines

Arabescato Vagli marble

Grey veins frame larger white fields. Compare their size with the intended piece rather than the crop alone.

View material details

Bottom / Warmer vein colour

Calacatta Gold marble

Gold-toned movement adds warmth to the white and grey surface. Confirm how much warm colour appears in the selected slabs.

View material details

Check the full slab for the size and spacing of the veins. Background whites and warm markings vary between selections.

04 / Warm neutrals

Top to bottom: Taj Mahal quartzite, soft beige movement; Warm linear travertine, directional layers; Jura Beige limestone, scattered natural markings.

Warm neutrals: movement or texture?

Compare soft beige movement, directional travertine layers and a warmer limestone with scattered natural markings.

Do you prefer flowing movement, visible layers or a more evenly marked surface?

Top / Soft beige movement

Taj Mahal quartzite

A warm, gently varied direction. Compare current slabs for the strength and direction of the movement.

View material details

Middle / Directional layers

Warm linear travertine

Linear bands and natural cavities give a different texture. Confirm cut direction, filling and finish on a sample.

View material details

Bottom / Scattered natural markings

Jura Beige limestone

Jura Beige has a warmer ground with scattered fossil-like markings. Compare how evenly these appear over larger areas.

View material details

These are different stone families. Compare the actual finish, filling and care requirements for the intended use as well as the colour.

05 / Grey & blue

Top to bottom: Castle Grey marble, finer grey movement; Super White, larger mineral fields; Blue Roma, blue-grey & warm veins.

Grey: quiet, graphic or blue-toned?

Compare finer grey movement, larger white-and-grey mineral fields and blue-grey stone crossed by warmer veins.

Should the surface read as a calmer grey, a broken pattern or a stronger colour?

Top / Finer grey movement

Castle Grey marble

A lighter grey field with finer movement and pale veins. Review the overall shade across the quantity required.

View material details

Super White

Super White offers stronger divisions between grey and pale areas. Compare the whole slab for the scale of that pattern.

View material details

Bottom / Blue-grey & warm veins

Blue Roma

Looping grey-blue movement crossed by warmer veins. Check the strength of the blue and the path of the veins on current slabs.

This is an appearance comparison across different stones. Confirm the exact selection and suitability; a grey colour does not establish the same properties.

06 / Onyx colours

Top to bottom: White onyx, light ivory & gold; Pink onyx, pink mineral fields; Honey onyx, honey-coloured bands.

Onyx: ivory, pink or honey?

Compare a light ivory direction, soft pink fields and warmer honey-coloured bands.
