FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Making a decision about your granite countertop color can be daunting. Granite is a natural stone that is available in a wide range of colors and patterns. Because every slab of granite is unique with varying colors and patterns, samples vary and are intended to represent the quarry’s product. Color sets an emotional trigger for the mood of a room, so take time to investigate your options, and choose your room color, appliances and granite colors at the same time if possible. The most beautiful granites are mined in Brazil and Italy. You can select lesser expensive selections from China and India. The basic granite countertop patterns are available from Granite Countertops in Atlanta and include

Absolute Black is highly polished, dramatic shade and one of the most-selected granite types. Mined primarily from Australia, South Africa, India and Sweden, black creates a sleek and sophisticated look to a room. Black color patterns can appear with blue, brown, gold, silver or red accents. Black evokes authority, stability and strength.

Azule granite color patterns vary based on the country from where it was mined. Blue is the second most popular selection. Azule, mined in Spain and Brazil, displays patterns of gray, white, black or blue. Blue and purple are vibrant and energetic colors, evoking calmness, steadfastness and loyalty.

White granite patterns display many shades that vary with the country of origin. “Big white flower” comes from Guangdong, China, and is characterized by white, gray and black patterns. White has an old-world charm and evokes purity, cleanliness and safety.

Copper or gold granite colors are mined throughout the world, with South America as the primary provider. These granite color patterns are intermixed with white, black or gray and possess a rustic, old-world charm that can be elegant. You will notice swirling patterns have dark, golden brown or walnut shading. Browns, “the terra firma,” represent stability.

Green shades, which are “cool” on the color spectrum, are the most variable of all granites. Mixed patterns include
• gray and rose with accompanying dark green
• blue and aqua with green
• olive green has block stripes and is mined in South Africa

Green is primarily mined in Brazil and can be casual or formal based on the shade. Green evokes energy, generosity, peace and harmony.

Rose granites, in the “warm” color spectrum, include red and crimson and is a rarity among granites. Shades can range from lavender to pink with accompanying white, light gold or dark gray patterns. Red and crimson granite color patterns, mined in China and Brazil, evoke comfort.

Granite countertop patterns vary and include flecked or pebbled with varying size and density. Granite colors with “movement” or swirling patterns are based on the inconsistency of the crystals and other elements and add a dramatic flair to the design.

To accent your room, you can select a paint and fabric palette of monochromatic, single color tones with varying shades, or complimentary color schemes with contrasting color to accent your room.
