Did you know that granite is often described as the chameleon stone? The appearance of your granite countertops can shift slightly to reflect any décor you add or replace in your kitchen. The counter will look different against a stark white backsplash than it will against a dark tile one for example.

Granite countertops come in an incredible variety of colors including, browns, tans, greens, blues, white, black, beige, red, gold and more. And, it is important to remember that granite in the showroom can look different than granite online or in your home.
While most people are familiar with the little flecks of color in granite countertops, many homeowners do not realize that granite is actually available in a few different patterns including:

Marbled. Get that farmhouse look with marbled granite! Marbled granite looks just like marble. It has smooth variances and different colors and textures that sweep through the stone.

Solid. Go for sleek and modern or mid-century with solid color granite. These granite countertops are just as their name suggests, a solid color like black and offers a clean look you’ll love.
