Carrara White vs. Calcutta Gold


I love white marble.  It always makes everything seem so crisp and clean.  I see a lot of designs where Cararra White marble is used and while it is very similar to Calcutta Gold in that the background is mostly white with a bit of grey veining, what differentiates Calcutta Gold from Cararra White is that within the veining are these lovely gold tones that add warmth to the stone. I think I love them both equally but I do like the uniqueness and rarity of use of Calcutta Gold.  Here are a few images of both stones.  Which do you like better?
