For centuries marble stone has stood as a symbol of luxury and sophistication in landmarks, businesses, museums, and homes all over the world. Each slab of marble is unique, with countless options for colors and patterns that appeal to the aesthetic tones you want to achieve. The Marble Doctor outlined our favorite colored marble options from all around the world, color by color, to help you decide which stone is best for your application:
WHITE MARBLE
White marble provides a clean and natural-looking finish to any application, which is why many businesses and homeowners prefer its color. Etching makes white marks on marble as it experiences wear and tear over time, so this natural stone is perfect for hiding much of the damage that it takes on. White marble is resilient and stunning, which is why many homeowners prefer its color for kitchen applications, such as the island or countertops.
Here are our favorite white marble options from around the world:

Volakas (Greece)
BLACK MARBLE
Black marble is similar in its simplistic elegance to white marble but offers a more modern and edgy aesthetic that many homeowners and businesses are looking to achieve. With a pop of white or gold veins running throughout, black marble offers a truly eye-catching design that brings sophistication to any application.
