Black quartz countertops are a great color for some kitchens. Black can be what really makes your kitchen pop. Black is a popular color especially for wood colored cabinets or white cabinets. Cherry and oak cabinets are especially great with black quartz countertops.
Charcoal Soapstone Quartz by Silestone is a great quartz color that looks just like soapstone without all of the maintenance needs as soapstone requires.
If you choose a soapstone countertop you will have to oil your soapstone countertop often and the soapstone tends to scratch and dent easily. Some consider this a character enhancement not a flaw but some people prefer to have a brand new looking countertop at all times and may opt to skip out on soapstone.
The dark and dramatic charcoal gray surface of Charlestown is imprinted with meandering gray and white veining above faint black currents that ripple below the surface. This is another soapstone lookalike or even a black marble lookalike.
Quartz offers an almost maintenance-free countertop surface perfect for busy families. Really the only downfall, in my opinion, is that quartz cannot take the heat very well.

With a black quartz countertop, you may not notice the color change but you will notice a different texture from the heat melting your countertop.
Yet another black Cambria Quartz color. Mersey is absolutely stunning and would feature well with a white or dark gray cabinet. Mersey has bold white veins and an all-black main color.

This black quartz countertop color is perfect for an island paired with another color for the perimeter. White would go well for the perimeter in this case.

If I like it I will be satisfied with it. Check out this article about pairing cabinets and countertops.

While Black Tempal Quartz is not all black it does have black in it and I really think this would look great on your walls if you choose to do full height backsplash. Basically, you use this material on your walls from the top of your countertop to the bottom of your cabinets. It would look pretty sharp.
Black Coral by Hanstone Quartz really reminds me of the dark night sky. This material could be great for anyone who enjoys the black and stary night look. Black quartz countertops can really brighten up the kitchen believe it or not. The light will reflect so good giving it a unique look and will surely impress your guests.
This black quartz countertop color also reminds me of a granite color called Black Galaxy and I am sure you can figure out why has the name Black Galaxy.
