White Granite

White granite is one of the most common and frequently used types of granite.

This type of granite has a white background with spots reflecting throughout the surface in other tones, mainly yellow, black and gray. If you want a completely white stone, the ideal choice would be a synthetic option such as Silestone.

However, even white granite with varying shades looks stunning and adds great beauty to any room where it is used. Here are the most popular white granite colors in Brazil:

• White Itaúnas granite (the whitest of all, with a beige pattern of dots);
• White Dallas granite (white background with well-defined black dots, texture resembling a dalmatian);
• White Ivory granite (white background with gray and black dots);
• White Siena granite (grayish-white background with very small black dots);
• White Fortaleza granite (yellowish-white background with black dots);

Beige and Yellow Granite

Beige and yellow granite are widely used in countertops and floors, especially outdoors. The advantage of beige granite is that it combines with various decor styles, especially those dominated by wood. Check out the most used beige and yellow granite colors:

• Yellow Acaraí granite (well-defined yellow background with spacing between black dots, ideal for those looking for a more uniform base);
• Ornamental yellow granite (yellowish-beige background with well-distributed brown dots);
• Samoa granite (soft light yellow background with slight black dots on the surface);
• Santa Cecilia granite (mixture of tones between yellow, beige, brown and black with a strong and noticeable texture);
• Beige Dunes granite (yellow background with well-defined brown dots throughout the surface);
• Beige Bahia granite (smooth and uniform beige background with some texture, one of the most used in clean design projects);
• Capri yellow granite (yellow-brown background with very small black dots);
• Golden yellow granite (well-defined intense yellow background with evenly distributed brown dots)

Gray Granite

Gray granite is one of the most popular. This is because it is the most common color of granite and therefore the cheapest. It's easy to find in kitchen sink countertops, floors, thresholds and counters.

Check out the gray granite colors available on the market:

• Andorinha gray granite (more uniform version of gray granite with minimal tone variation on the surface);
• Corumbá gray granite (light gray background with well-defined black dots);
• Gray Ocher Itabira granite (well-defined texture with spots changing from light gray to black);

Brown Granite

Brown granite is less popular but still good for countertops. Classic and elegant, brown granite pairs well with decor of the same style. However, it should be known that this is one of the most expensive granites on the market, together with white and black.

Among brown granites, the following stand out:

• Imperial coffee brown granite (brown background with well-distributed and uniform black dots);
• Tobacco brown granite (a more uniform and clean option of brown granite with minimal texture);
• Guaíba granite (reddish-brown background with well-defined black grains);

Red Granite

Rarely used, red granite offers unusual decorations with a slightly eccentric and maximalist character. When used, red granite stands out as countertops and work surfaces.

The most commonly used red granite colors:

• Itaipu red granite (slightly reddish background with brown dots covering the entire surface);
• Bragança red granite (one of the most 'red' variants of granite, but with strong presence of black dots);
• Africa red granite (eccentric, this type of red granite has a dark red background with dark blue dots);

Green Granite

One of the most popular and frequently used green granites is Ubatuba. This very Brazilian version can easily be mistaken for black granite, as only in sunlight can the greenish color of the stone be determined.

Other types of green granite:

Perro green granite (another variant of green granite that can easily pass for black);

Pelican granite (dark green background with well-distributed black dots);

Blue Granite

Blue granite, like red, is exotic and rarely used, so projects with this stone are almost unique. Therefore, one can imagine that paying for it will be quite expensive. This stone is among the most expensive.

The most commonly used blue granites:

• Bahia blue granite (light blue background with light black dots);
• Norwegian blue granite (the darkest variant of blue granite with evenly distributed black dots on the surface);

Black Granite

One of the most used granites is black. Elegant, clean, modern and timeless, this type of granite fits well into many decor styles and can be used in all types of rooms, from countertops to floors.

Here are some options for black granite:

• São Gabriel black granite (the most uniform and smooth of all, ideal for modern and minimalist projects);
• Indian black granite (black background with milk-white spots throughout the surface);
• Milky Way black granite (the name matches the stone, as there is a black background and light 'brushstrokes' of white color on the surface);
