While white countertops are at the top of the list and are steadily increasing in popularity, the popularity of colored countertops has been steadily decreasing over the past two years. Interestingly, even though many people choose white for their main countertops, more and more people are choosing other colors and tones for their kitchen islands. The second contrasting countertop color for the kitchen island is medium-toned wood. Black contrasting countertops also saw a slight uptick as they were the third most popular color, increasing by 4 percentage points compared to 2022. No surprises here. White is the top color for contrasting countertops.
