Granite Countertops Colors for Kitchen

Kitchen countertops are an essential feature of the space, providing you with a strong and sturdy surface to work on and presenting you with an opportunity to channel your personality into the space. While various types of materials are available on countertops, such as marble, quartz, soapstone, etc., granite tile has emerged on top of most trends.

But Why Granite Tile?

Granite is a naturally rich material and possesses a beauty seldom seen in other stones. It exudes an aura of timelessness and elegance, making it a popular choice amongst homeowners for their kitchen countertops.

• Granite tile is a hard material and cannot be easily scratched or chipped. Rather, repeatedly using a knife on its surface will make your knife dull! This is an excellent advantage in a space with plenty of sharp elements like knives.
• Granite tile can also take the heat. Be it a hot pan or the heat from your stove; granite will bear it all without showing obvious signs of distress. When sealed well, it absorbs minimal liquids – meaning it will not absorb spills and get deeply stained easily.
• Granite tiles are also available in over 20 different shades. This ensures that you will find a granite countertop in a shade that effortlessly works well with your kitchen’s colour and design scheme.
• These large 800x2400mm Granalt tiles are manufactured using vitrified material but have the look and feel of natural granite. Not only are they easier on the pocket, but you will not be required to seal them since they are naturally water-resistant.

Top Granite Colours For Kitchen Countertops

Here is a list of some of the most popularly opted-for granite colours:

1) Brown Granite Tile

As a kitchen countertop, a brown granite tile has been in trend for years. The shade is just perfect to give your space a warm and contemporary look. Brown is often representative of nature, and brown countertops can bring that outdoorsy feel to your kitchen.

Brown granite is often used on kitchen countertops as well as kitchen islands due to its durability and ability to withstand high temperatures. It is also a popular flooring choice; nowadays, people use it for wall cladding.

2) White Granite Tile

White is a timeless classic, and all-white kitchens have been in trend for years now. It reflects most of the light and brightens up any space it is added to, not to mention adding a luxurious look to the space.

White countertops may seem like a handful in the kitchen where spills and splatters are common, but if sealed well, your countertop will not only be super easy to clean but will also not get stained easily.

White granite is not only used on the kitchen countertop and kitchen island but is also often used on the backsplash since it is easy to clean and can withstand heat.

3) Black Granite Tile

Black has this dramatic flair to it that absolutely cannot be ignored. It can look sophisticated and sensual at the same time. It adds a layer of elegance and luxury to the space and pairs well with all kinds of design schemes – from classic industrial designs to chic modern spaces.

Black granite tile, being a dark colour, doesn’t easily show stains or signs of wear and tear. This makes it not only a great countertop and kitchen island material but also a great material to use on the floor, backsplash and walls.

4) Blue Granite Tile

Blue granite tile is very popular thanks to its mesmerising beauty and patterns. Blue granite is available in an array of shades, thanks to the arrangement of the minerals within the stone that create a swirling or uniform pattern.

Blue granite tile works well in various design schemes, from rustic farmhouses to chic contemporary ones. It can not only be used on the countertop but can also be used on the kitchen island. It works well to add some colour into an otherwise neutrally coloured space.

5) Grey Granite Tile

Grey granite tile is fast gaining popularity in the kitchen due to its sleek and modern look. Available in various shades, ranging from slate grey to gainsboro (light grey), the stone works well with most colour and design schemes.

Grey granite tile not only works well as a kitchen countertop, but it can also be used as flooring, wall cladding, backsplash, and atop the kitchen island.
