White of off white solid surface material (Corian) or soapstone.

like gary says .25 thick corian like this:

only this guys price is rediculous. I bought some off him a year or so ago and paid about $1.00/piece, now he wants about $8.00/piece
Go to a local countertops guy and ask for scraps and make him something and take it back, you'll get all you want for free after that usually.
I have gotten excellent results with UHMW and HDPE plastics. 1/4" or 1/2" thickness. 1/4 is best for most purposes, but 1/2 will give slightly better dark tones. and can be more interesting if viewed from the cut side.
