Types of granite colors determine minerals and rocks that make granite. Quartz, amphiboles, feldspar, potassium, and mica (muscovite or biotite) minerals give granite such unique colors and patterns. Different types of granite colors depend on the concentration of these minerals in the stone.
For example, quartz gives granite mainly milky white color, feldspar provides an off-white shade, biotite gives dark brown or black color, amphibole dark green or black, muscovite - yellow or metallic gold, and unique salmon pink color comes from the abundance of potassium feldspar mineral. The combinations of these minerals give us different types of granite colors - white granite, black granite, black and white, pink granite, red granite, blue granite, and green granite, multicolor granites etc.
