How Granite Gets Its Colour

Our team can help you choose the correct colour for your needs.

Properties of Colour

Granite is made up of various minerals and depending on the ratio of these minerals determines the granites colour.

Minerals consume different amounts of light, which give each individual mineral its own unique colour.

Due to this, whichever mineral is most prominent in colour is usually the colour the other mineral will gravitate towards in that particular piece of granite.

Granite which is 20 – 60 percent quartz is usually a pale colour such as white or even colourless, and the other minerals that are there will add a colour to the granite, this is what makes each piece of granite colouring so unique.

There are some man-made and igneous stones which can look like a solid colour granite, but these stones are just made to copy the appearance of granite.
