The colors are naturally created based on the granite’s mineral content: there’s no way of changing it, though it does have a wide variety of natural colors to choose from. Some colors are a bit rarer than the rest, as it all depends on where it is quarried. The most popular ones are black granites and white granites, though brownish and beige granite are also quite common.
