Help. just recently we got our countertops installed.  The surface is a "yellow" color but now that the edges have been cut and polished, they are "off-white".  The fabricator said the surface was "enhanced".  My installer bought an enhancer and rubbed down all the edges probably 3-4 times and still I can see a visible line on the surface edge.  Can anything darken the edges to match the top surface?

Before I can address the problem I need more information.
Can you post some picks so I can see what it looks like?

The pictures don't show it - too blurry.  The color is supposedly cashmere gold.  I got in contact w/the distributor and they said the granite source will send in their next shipment box a color enhancer that would supposedly match.

If you have tried a color enhancer already you will need to remove it or the new one won't penetrate the stone. Use an alkaline solution to get the old sealer off. Try AGER color enhancing sealer - it works! If you want it we carry it.
