White induction hob on white marble/granite?

Marble isn't a normal worktop surface as it stains and is dissolved by acids such as vinegar, orange juice etc. Also marble isn't that hard relative to granite so likely to chip and scratch.

Maybe granite then, or even some plastic-over-chipboard stuff (can't remember any of the brand names).

It'll be appalling unless you're prepared to keep it utterly clean and shiny - and it'll still look naff even then.

(my wife has just suggested getting a spaghetti sauce coloured hob...)

Nah - go for girly pink then you can both agree its horrid

It's only a good idea, if neither of you intends to do any cooking. Marble stains easily, and burnt-on spills on a white hob look dreadful. That's why, when I got rid of my white one, its replacement was black.

A friend of mine rented a house last year which had a brand new kitchen with a marble worksurface which was a horrendous off white colour with reddy brown spots.

It really was difficult to see where it was clean and where it was covered in, say, a splodge of spilt curry sauce.

I couldn't decide whether it was eminently practical or not!

Don't joke about stuff like that, in case it gives her ideas.

Thank you all. I just have to put the good fight now and we should be sorted.

Nah - pink is for boys and blue for girls. QI last week. :-)

OK MANLY pink, then ...
