Top 3 Granite Colors We Love


Your countertop set the style and tone for the heart of your home. There are so many options, from granite to marble and quartz. Among the three, granite is a popular choice for countertops (and a favorite among the Milan Stoneworks customers too). 

Known for its durability, it comes in many different colors and patterns more than you could possibly imagine.

Selecting granite requires an eye for detail. You should consider the color of your cabinet finish, flooring, wall paint, appliances and even the lighting. It must fit your lifestyle as well. If you cook often or have a busy household, opt for a speckled medium tone color. If you want a touch of modern elegance, look for a dark, polished color for your kitchen counters.
You can also draw inspiration from Pantone's 2013 color forecast for home and interiors that include 9 new set of palettes. From there, you can imagine what countertops will look great on your next remodeling project.

For those who are looking for new countertops, you will most likely see these 3 granite favorites:

White. Clean and simple, this color is very popular with modern design that can complement almost any color scheme. It makes your space look larger and provides a very crisp, refined look. White countertops are particularly desirable in the kitchen as it brightens the area and creates a stylish contrast with light-colored cabinets. Being as light as it is, it is easy to keep clean. You can easily recognize spills and remove it at once.

Gray. This neutral color can give a contemporary look to your kitchen with the ability to emphasize other colors. It adds a sleek, fresh ambiance to any space. It can be paired with light woods and offers more variation than white.

Gold. Another neutral color, gold brings elegant warmth to any space. It can go with either light or dark cabinetry. The metallic elements in gold remain adaptive can be mixed in white, cream, black, and dark brown to create a stunning palette.
