Countertops

The cabinets are in and it is apparent they look very different depending on the light.  To highlight this here are two different kitchens (NOT MINE) but with EXACTLY my cabinets.

In direct light (dark brown)

In shadows or with ambient daylight they look espresso

There are stainless steel appliances and a tile floor that is a very light grayish-beige.   So, what countertops?

Here are the three main contenders that I can get.  I also like Imperial white granite ... but that won't happen since the Indian government shut down the quarry (or something like that)

1. Kashmir white granite

Mostly white with grey speckling.  There are some brown spots as well as slight tan undertones in the white.  My main concern with this one is that there is too much grey and too much speckling.

2. Sea Pearl granite

Mostly white with grey streaks ... and a little but of green undertones.
My main concern with this one is green where there is not other green in kitchen.

3. Hanstone "Sandcastle" Quartz

Plain grayish/beige ... very close to color of floor.  Slightly darker than floor.
My main concern with this one is that it is too plain and will become dated quickly.
