The Armitage quartz sample shows Cambria's Armitage design — armitage's blend of black and gray provides an easy, neutral canvas for rich hints of copper-orange to emerge from within. Cambria lists the design's colors as Black, with the design feature listed as Waterstone, and the polished sample chip is the right tool for judging that colour in your own kitchen lighting before committing to a full slab spec.
A Black-And-Grey Canvas With Copper-Orange Accents
Armitage is named after a village in the West Midlands of England. It is one of Cambria’s quieter dark designs: the black and grey read as a single neutral field from a distance, and the copper-orange only resolves when you are close to the surface or under directional light. That behaviour is the whole reason to hold a sample before specifying a full run.

Best Project Type
Kitchens that want a dark surface without high-contrast veining, islands, waterfall ends, bathroom vanities and commercial counters. The copper undertone works particularly well with walnut, warm oak and bronze or copper hardware.
Sample and Slab Notes
Hold the chip against your cabinet door and floor in your kitchen's actual lighting. A 4-inch sample is a small select cut from a slab and does not show the full range of movement in the finished surface, so treat it as a colour and finish reference rather than a pattern preview.
For islands and long runs, request slab photos or a fabricator visit before the order locks in. Vein and tone placement vary enough across Armitage slabs that section selection becomes a visible design decision.
