Black speckled quartz
Raven, color 4120, is a Standard Collection quartz in smoky slate gray with a brownish undertone. Caesarstone describes it as a two-toned surface, slightly dappled, and on the swatch the dappling is fine and even, so from a few feet away it reads as a near-black solid. It gives strong contrast against white, maple or pastel cabinetry and works with stainless steel, brass or matte black hardware. It is a practical dark color for islands, bar tops and modern bathrooms. Raven is polished and comes in 2 cm and 3 cm jumbo slabs.

Raven is a practical dark color for islands, bar tops and modern bathrooms, where a near-black counter is wanted without the starkness of flat black. The fine dappling and brownish undertone soften it. Like most dark polished quartz, it shows dust, crumbs and fingerprints more than a light speckle, so it suits a counter that gets wiped regularly.
Jet Black is the deeper, flatter option, reading as solid black, while Raven is a smoky slate with a brownish undertone. Corian Quartz Storm Grey is a dark gray with even tone-on-tone particles, lighter than Raven and offered in a leathered finish as well.

In between. Caesarstone describes it as a smoky slate gray with a brownish undertone, and the fine, even dappling makes it read as a near-black solid at normal viewing distance. Next to true black appliances it looks slightly lighter and warmer.
More than a light or busy pattern, as any dark polished surface does. The fine dappling helps a little compared with a totally flat black, but smudges and dust are visible in raking light. On a heavily used island, expect to give it a quick wipe more often.
