The New Quay Quartz Sample is a 4-inch swatch of Cambria's New Quay design — a soft white base with refined cool-grey veining that reads bright and contemporary. Use the swatch to confirm tone, vein scale, and finish under your actual lighting before ordering a full slab.
The New Quay Character
New Quay sits in the line's bright-and-fresh white range, with vein flow that reads coastal-modern rather than classical-traditional. The base reads as clean white with a barely-cool undertone, and the veining flows in fine-to-medium grey lines with broken edges. Vein contrast is moderate, giving the slab pattern presence without bold drama. Under polished light the contrast lifts; under softer light the slab reads as quietly refined.

How to Read the Swatch
Set New Quay against your cabinet door at three lighting points: morning daylight, afternoon, evening interior. Cool-veined whites shift between bulb temperatures: 2700K LEDs warm the slab toward neutral; 4000K daylight sharpens the cool character. Compare beside any sample counters or splash tile.
Pairing Direction
New Quay pairs cleanly with painted white Shaker, painted blues and greens, charcoal cabinetry, and crisp greige slab. The cool undertone makes it less ideal next to warm cherry or honey-toned wood. For hardware, brushed nickel, polished chrome, and matte black all register cleanly.
Once the swatch confirms direction, walk a full slab at a Cambria distributor before fabrication. Vein placement varies slab to slab.
