Granite Colours For Kitchens
Granite is a popular option for kitchen worktops because of its lovely mirror-like properties, which reflect light and make your kitchen sparkle. We are pleased to provide a wide range of granite worktop colours that are popular in a large variety of homes. We can give the appropriate fit for everyone thanks to our large selection of granite styles and colours.
Granite comes in a variety of colours, depending on where it originates from throughout the world. Granite exists in a range of colours and derives from several nations and continents throughout the world, including Africa, India, and China. Your granite will have a different geological makeup depending on the quarry from where it was extracted. This differentiates each of the various granite worktop colours and shades, allowing you to select the designs that best suit your needs. Because granite is a natural substance, no two slabs will ever be the identical, resulting in a wide range of colours.

Here are some frequently asked questions about granite worktop colours that our team often receive from customers. Hopefully the answers below will be useful. If you have any further questions that aren’t answered below, feel free to contact us and our team will be happy to help.
There is no ‘best’ granite colour. It is all down to personal preference and what kind of look you are trying to achieve in your kitchen. With that being said, if you are looking for some inspiration for you kitchen, we have listed some of our most popular granite colour choices below:
Kashmir White Granite
The grey veins and cranberry-coloured specks that run through the granite provide a great contrast to the stone’s pure white colour. This lovely Indian stone is quite popular. It’s bright without being chilly, and it’s perfect for people who want to bring as much light into the kitchen as possible because it reflects it back.
Black Pearl Granite
The speckled appearance of Black Pearl granite makes it a low-maintenance choice. This, combined with its cost-effectiveness and flexibility, no doubt adds to its appeal.
Blue Pearl Granite
This Norwegian stone’s gentle blue and grey tones are excellent for people who wish to make their kitchen feel lighter and brighter. The stone has a blue backdrop with blue and grey shimmers on the surface.
Viscount White Granite
As its name indicates, the Viscount White Granite Worktop would be at home in a noble mansion or palace. The counter was designed to seem like marble, with its light surface and strong yet graceful veining, but without many of the disadvantages that marble is known for.
Generally speaking, you will notice that red, purple and blue granite countertops are the most expensive colours of granite.
Similarly to the ‘which colours granite is the best?’ question, there isn’t a single correct answer. It all depends on your kitchen and the look you are going for.
If you are trying to make your worktops stand out, choose a granite colour that contrasts with your kitchen units. For example, light coloured granite with dark units and the other way around. If you are going for a more subtle look, a colour that matches the rest of your kitchen will look great.
You most certainly can get light coloured granite. Grey Granite worktops are a timeless feature for your kitchen or bathroom since they can be matched with a variety of décor options and colours, regardless of how many times you alter the colour of your walls, making them an excellent choice for increasing the value of your home.
Quartz worktops are more durable than granite worktops and are almost indestructible. They are also non-porous unlike granite and are therefore easy to keep clean and hygienic.
Black & grey granite worktops are very popular for kitchens. They are great for making a statement, especially if you are going for a contemporary kitchen style and have light or white cabinets.
Dark granite countertops are still popular but, the main trends for kitchen worktops are to choose neutral colours, honed styles or veined patterns. We have given some examples of each trend below:
Neutral Tones
Kashmir White
Honed Finishes
Honed Absolute Black
Veined Patterns
Ivory Spice
White granite countertops can be more expensive than other granite colours simply because, they are less abundant and harder to find in nature.
To choose a great granite countertop, you should start by picking a colour that matches the main primary colour in your kitchen. For example, if you have white kitchen cabinets, you could opt for a granite style that has either a white background or white streaks.
A simple black kitchen worktop like Absolute Black granite, is a classic choice and never really goes out of style because of its versatility.

We only carry the highest quality slabs in the most popular granite colours at Shaw Stone Ltd. Customers should be cautious that some less ethical businesses may sell lower-grade granites that have been coloured or even soaked in diesel to make them appear darker. The dye or fuel will fade with time, producing a patchy grey surface, which is a less common granite worktop colour. Fortunately, when you pick Shaw Stone, your worktops and granite colours are 100% natural and can last the test of time in even the most demanding settings.
