Touches of soft, serene blue brush the cool gray surface of Azure Mist Granite, marked by a web of delicate, charcoal veins that make this variety among the most stunning granite countertop colors. Extraordinary and captivating, this stone surface boasts subtle movement that brings your space to life without boldly declaring its presence.

It’s an ideal choice for island and perimeter kitchen countertops and backsplashes. This is especially true when you pair it with creamy, latte-colored cabinets and honeyed wood flooring to keep the vibes warm and inviting.

Moody and Mysterious

Much like the mystery novels of Agatha Christie, Agatha Black Granite practically begs you to dive into its murky depths and dark, dreamy ambiance.

This inky, polished black granite is marked by linear strokes of cloudy veining in white and light gray that coax you along the length of the slab. It is a stunning choice for an expansive waterfall island with charcoal cabinets and weathered wood flooring.

River of Rock

Adding interest to your interior design relies on elements like color, pattern, texture, and shine that catch the eye. Patterns that create the illusion of movement are one great way to elevate the sophistication of your design, and Azul Celeste Granite is an ideal example of this principle at work.

Delicate and playful, this complex granite features lively silver, soothing gray, grounding charcoal, and hints of dusty blue that twist across the surface like a lazy river meandering over a shallow bed of rocks.

It’s the perfect complement to a modern kitchen with dark wood cabinets and pale gray flooring and backsplash materials, offering a sense of tranquility while creating a clear focus.

Earthy Undertones

Coastal kitchen designs are typically light and bright, with white cabinets, natural wood elements like heavy-grained plank flooring, and an aquatic color palette. With an island and perimeter countertops in rustic Desert Beach Granite, you’ll enjoy a warm, grounding counterpoint to an otherwise airy kitchen space. The creamy background is punctuated by stippling in rich cocoa browns that tie in beautifully with wood floors to create a stratified appearance.

Catch a Wave

With so many exciting granite colors to peruse, you might not immediately gravitate toward a black-and-white palette. Color is just one aspect of design, though. Eclipse Granite's bold strokes and striking appearance offer a dramatic statement with a neutral palette.

This bold Brazilian granite captures the light and dark contrast of an eclipse with blocky stripes of jet black and pale gray that swim across the surface, side by side, adding wave-like movement to counter and backsplash surfaces amid black cabinetry studded with silver hardware.

Arctic Delight

Granite's resilient, stain-resistant qualities mean you never have to worry about keeping white slabs pristine, even in a bustling kitchen. White Valley Granite supplies tons of character in a tonal white design, thanks to a soft white background swept with dramatic gray veining.

Resting atop white cabinets, the contrast and movement of this stone variety deliver attention-grabbing flair. Add an island base and flooring in rich, mid-tone wood with intense grain patterns for a more balanced look.

Add Personality with Dynamic Granite

There are many reasons to love granite. This natural stone surface is not only heat resistant but also resists staining, etching, scratching, chipping, cracking, and UV fading. There are dozens of varieties available in warm or cool palettes, neutral or bold colors, and patterns that bring the drama or serve up calm, gentle vibes.
