If you’re looking for solid surface countertop colors, it may seem like the world’s your oyster. How do you even begin narrowing down the choices to find one that suits your kitchen or bathroom countertops?
We’re here to guide you through some of the most popular options—plus some more unique ones—so you can pick the right solid surface countertop color for your next project.
Modern & Minimalist? Opt for neutral tones (white, gray, beige) with a matte or satin finish.
Warm & Traditional? Earthy tones (browns, creams) with a polished finish add elegance.
Dark vs. Light Colors: Dark shades (charcoal, deep blue) create drama but require more upkeep, while light colors (ivory, soft gray) make small spaces feel larger.
Natural Lighting: Bright rooms enhance bold colors, while low-light areas benefit from reflective finishes (glossy or semi-gloss).
Matte/Flat Finish: Smooth, non-reflective—ideal for contemporary kitchens and high-traffic areas (hides scratches well).
Satin Finish: Subtle sheen, easy to clean—perfect for bathrooms and commercial spaces.
Glossy Finish: High-shine, luxurious—great for statement pieces like waterfall islands or retail displays.
Textured Finish: Adds depth (e.g., stone-like patterns)—suits feature walls or custom furniture.
Kitchens: Lighter shades hide stains; speckled patterns disguise crumbs.
Bathrooms: Moisture-resistant finishes (satin or matte) prevent water spots.
Commercial Spaces: Durable, neutral tones (gray, taupe) maintain professionalism.
When selecting a color for your solid surface product, you should also consider your own resources. How much time and money are you willing or able to invest in upkeep of your product? Think about the environment the product is going in: Would the workers in that space have much extra time to ensure the products there aren’t getting damaged? Or will product upkeep become a hassle pushed to the side until the piece is damaged beyond repair? To be sure, solid surface is extremely beneficial for its fairly small amount of required upkeep, but, like any product, it will deteriorate without proper care. Taking this into consideration will help you select a color that fits your needs.
It’s important to think realistically about both the conditions of the specific environment and your own resources. How to choose solid surface colors depends on so much more than personal tastes. Here are some general tips to keep in mind when choosing colors:
The lighter color the easier to maintain
Colors with particulates make seams more inconspicuous
Colors not veined or directional also help hide seams
Dark colors are more easily damaged
Solid colors or colors low on particulates require more upkeep
Colors requiring a high gloss finish also often require more upkeep
