Brown marble-look quartz with moderate veining
Permian Slate is a softly marbled taupe with a slightly translucent look, short brown-gray veins and long warm-white veins that open up into lighter patches. The effect resembles fractured stone with depth rather than a classic marble. Its earthy tone suits kitchens with white oak, walnut or cream cabinets, and it pairs with bronze, black or brass hardware. It is part of Wilsonart's 2025 launch and comes in a polished finish.

Permian Slate brings an earthy, stone-like taupe to kitchens built around wood: white oak, walnut or cream cabinets all suit it. Its slightly translucent base and fractured warm-white veins give depth on an island or peninsula. As a mid-tone, it hides light spills better than a white but will not brighten a dark room. Despite the name, it is a polished marbled design, not a matte slate texture, so expect some reflection.
Desert View is a lighter, lower-contrast taupe with short white veins, so it recedes more. Permian Slate is deeper and carries long warm-white veins that open into light patches. Glencoe shares a translucent warm base but adds golden swaths inspired by Taj Mahal quartzite.

Not really. The name suggests slate, but it is a softly marbled taupe with brown-gray and warm-white veins, and the effect is closer to fractured stone with depth. It also comes polished, without the cleft or matte texture of natural slate. If you want a slate-like feel, Nova Serrana's matte finish is closer in texture.
Both light and dark woods work. White oak keeps the kitchen airy and lets the taupe look warmer, while walnut deepens it for a moodier room. Mid-tone cherry can work too, though its red cast is best tested against the sample, since the slab leans brown-gray rather than red.
