I'd go with the darker one, rather than the yellower one.

When we were looking we really liked Zodiaq Astral Pearl, have you looked at that?

Of the two you have there, I'd also go with the darker stuff - Diana Pearl, especially with the warmth of Adel MB.

I saw both the Astral Pearl from Zodiaq, Diana Pearl and Ivory Coast from Silestone. Astral's hueis betweenDiana and Ivory. But closer to Ivory's yellow tone. Another thing is that Diana has less stone effect than Ivory which has more depth in its look.

Anyway, Diana is a little cooler and more greyish/purple. Have anyone thought of having a different color for the island? For example, Diana pearl around and stellar night in thecenter on the island?

I think as long as the two colors aren't too similar, choosing different colors would be great. And similar doesn't necessarily mean too similar - you could go monochromatic and use two values of the same color if you'd like as well.

Re: countertop color choice for ADEL Med Brown

We are installing Adel MB also. We have oak floors. We just looked today for counter and backsplash. We are going to probably go with Ivory Coast or Bamboo. We are planning to do a green glass subway tile for backsplash. Although not sure yet. So far I ordered the sink today and faucet!!
Good Luck!!!
